Young Marine Obligation

From this day forward, I sincerely promise, I will set an example for all other youth to follow, and I shall never do anything that would bring disgrace or dishonor upon my God, my Country and its flag, my parents, myself, or the Young Marines.  This, I will honor and respect in a manner that will reflect credit upon them and myself.

Young Marine Creed

    -Obey my parents and all others in charge of me whether young or old.
    -Keep myself neat at all times without other people telling me to.
    -Keep myself clean in mind by attending the church of my faith.
    -Keep my mind alert to learn in school, at home or at play.
    -Remember having self-discipline will enable me to control my body and mind in case of an emergency.

YMGO #1 – While on firewatch I will remain awake and alert until relieved by my replacement or authorized adult.
YMGO #2 – I will enforce all orders given me by the adult in charge.
YMGO #3 – I will report all dangerous activity immediately to the adult in charge.
YMGO #4 – I will never forget that I am a Young Marine and will perform my duties to the best of my ability.

Young Marine Hymn

From the North and from the South we'll come
From the East and from the West
We will all enlist in the Young Marines
And forever do our best.

From the halls of all the grammar schools
To the shores of all our lakes
We will be the finest Young Marines
No matter what it takes.

Let the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts march;
Let the Cub Scouts strut and beam
Oh, you haven't seen the greatest yet
Till you've seen the Young Marines.

We salute the sailor boys in blue
And the Army in their greens.
We are proud to bear the title of
The U.S. Young Marines.
