We are the children of the open sky,
feet firm on soil that knows our name.
The sun rises, and we rise with it,
boots laced tight, spirits unchained.

We are the echoes of campfire songs,
Songs that burn with passion to the rhythm of our hearts.
The compass spins, but we do not waver—
we know the way, we’ve known from the start.

Scouting is not just what we do,
it is who we are, deep and true.
Its a bond stronger than the knots we tie and the promise on our tongues,
the courage we carry when the path is long.

A promise for tomorrow
One to inspire a generation of pioneers

It runs in our blood like the rivers strong,
like the pulse of a drum, like a freedom song.
A nation of Scouts, bold and free—
South Africa’s future, you and me.
