  14. Driver’s Pledge • I will make trip preparations far enough in advance so that last-minute preparations don’t interfere with my rest. • I will make travel plans that take into account my personal biological clock and will drive only during the part of the day when I know I will be alert. • I will be smart about engaging in physical activities during Scouting outings and will make sure that I will be ready to drive alert. • I will not drive when I feel fatigued. I realize that when I am fatigued, I process information more slowly and less accurately, and this impairs my ability to react in time to avoid accidents. • I will arrange my schedule so that for several days before a Boy Scout driving trip, I will get a good night’s sleep every night to avoid the cumulative effects of not getting enough sleep. Do all you can to keep Scouts safe.
