The Purpose of the Order

• To recognize those camper-Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner as warrant recognition.

• To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit.

• To promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as a part of the unit's camping program, both year round and at Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee of the Council.

• To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others.
