Camp Winton Songbook
On My Honor
Harry Bartelt, 1947
Harry Bartelt was a dedicated Scouter who wanted to put the Scout Oath into music. After many years of frustration (as he was not musically trained), he debuted this song at the 1947 National Scout Executives Conference.
​
It has gone on to be considered one of the foundational Scouting songs, and has even been spotted internationally.

Too high for you? Here is a transposed version.
On my honor, I'll do my best
to do my duty to God.
On my honor, I'll do my best
to serve my country as I may.
On my honor, I'll do my best
to do my Good Turn each day;
to keep my body strengthened,
and keep my mind awakened,
to follow paths of righteousness;
on my honor, I'll do my best.
