I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God,
To serve the Queen,
Help other people,
And keep the Brownie guide Law.


I also know the Lord's Prayer, in the old school style.
If you are of a similar vintage then I expect you do too.
That is because it used to be law to learn it in primary school. So I don't know the seven times table but I do know the Lord's Prayer, thanks 1970s education system.

yup
i read the first two words and the rest just tumbled from my lips. Also the poems for the individual sixes:

here you see the laughing gnomes
helping mothers in their homes

We're the ever helpful imps
quick and quiet as any shrimps

and the worst one:
Here you see the scottish kelpies
quiet and quick and ready helpers

Almost 30 years later
Reading this made me realise I can still remember my Cub Scout and Scout Promise and Laws.

I'll have to ring my brothers to see if they still remember.
