A Rib Scout boy recites the pledge and holds his fingers crossed while holding tongs.

“I promise to never waste the sauce of life or of ribs. To always savor the flavor down to the bone. I pledge to help my fellow scouts, to be a supporting rib in my Rack. Together we make the whole cage.

Community is my mission. Ribs are my guide. May Rib Scouts make life more delicious, I pledge on my marrow.”

- Rib Scout Pledge by Haley Anderson, 1938
