The Wanderer's Pledge
To unite in a bond of friendship, good fellowship, and mutual understanding.
To hold a member's friendship as an end not as a means.
To bear in mind my obligations as a citizen of my nation.
To aid my fellow members, give sympathy to those in distress, and to help in time of need.
To travel our beautiful country taking nothing but photographs and leaving nothing but tyre tracks and footprints.
To be careful with my criticism and liberal with my praise.
