<P> In 1969, the Eclaireuses et Eclaireurs israélites de France decided to discontinue using the reference to God due to its inconsistency with religious beliefs and practices from a Jewish perspective . Use of the word God (Dieu), derived from Zeus, can be seen as an inappropriate pagan reference in Jewish texts or education . </P> <P> As of July 2017, Scouts Australia provides the option to use one of two different versions of the Scout Promise, one which allows scouts to promise "To be true to my spiritual beliefs (,) To contribute to my community and our world ." The other option is to promise "To do my duty to my God, and To the Queen of Australia ." </P> <P> Scout sections that follow traditional Scouting, such as Baden - Powell Scouts within the World Federation of Independent Scouts, use several promises including the original Scout promise above that includes the reference to God . Some, however, for example the 1st Tarrant Scout Group in Fort Worth, Texas use a blend of the original promise and the "Outlander Promise" which, "according to tradition", B-P wrote for Scouts that had to omit the reference to God or a monarch for reasons of conscience . </P>

On my honor i promise to do my best
