Promise

The National Organizations in Faroe Islands have their own law and promise based on the original text of Baden Powell, and although the wording is slightly different, they have the same content.

Føroya KFUK Skótar: Eg lovi við æru míni og alt tað, eg eri ment – at vera trúgvi móti Guði og føðilandi mínum – at vera hjálpsom móti øllum menniskjum – og at halda skótalógina

Promise of Føroya KFUK Skótar: On my honor and all that I hold dear, I promise to be true to God and my country, to be helpful to all people, and to obey the Guide Law.

Føroya Skótasamband: Eg lovi at gera mítt besta fyri – altíð at halda skótalógina – altíð at hjálpa øðrum – og í einum og øllum at vísa meg sum ein rættan skóta

Promise of Føroya Skótasamband: I promise to do my best to always keep the Scout Law, always help others, and in all things show myself to be a good Scout.

Development of the Movement

The Faroese Scout and Guide Council (Føroya Skótaráð – FSR) is the national umbrella organisation for Guiding and Scouting in the Faroe Islands. It is a widely recognised and respected institution, currently representing approximately 1.77% of the total Faroese population.

The FSR operates as a federation of three member associations: Føroya KFUK Skótar (girls only), Føroya Skótasamband (co-educational), and KFUM Skótarnir í Føroyum.

Guiding was officially established in the Faroe Islands on 9 May 1928 in Tórshavn. Over nearly a century, the Scout and Guide Movement has become a well-established and highly respected part of Faroese society, making a significant contribution to youth development and community life.

KFUK and FS are active members of Føroya Ungdómsráð (FUR), the official Youth Council of the Faroe Islands, which represents around 50 youth organisations across the territory.
