Air m' onair,            

geallaidh mi gu dìcheallach,

gun dèan mi mo dhleastanas do Dhia agus don Bhanrigh, 

nì mi cobhair air daoine eile,

agus glèidhidh mi lagh nan Gillean Deiseil. 

The above was sent to us by a Scout leader who consulted with some Gaelic experts at the school he teaches at.

He notes that "There is no Gaelic equivalent for “Scout”, so we have approximated as best we could to what it would be in Gaelic – “Gillean Deiseil” – literally, the “prepared boys”, (which ties in with the scout motto). If you would prefer just to keep the English word, the last line would be:

agus glèidhidh mi lagh nan Scouts."
