GOOD SAM CLUB CONSTITUTION PREAMBLE

With the objective of stimulating a greater interest and

development of the principles of good camping, ecological

awareness, kindness for our fellow human beings and all

wildlife throughout the world; and with the avid desire of

creating an enthusiasm which by reason of example, we

hereby form ourselves into THE GOOD SAM CLUB adhering

to the following pledge:

THE GOOD SAM CLUB PLEDGE

As a member of the Good Sam Club I pledge to give aid to

others in need, respect nature and the environment, give

back to the community and those less fortunate, treat others

with dignity and respect, and to wear a smile (like Good Sam

and Good Samantha’s) and promote the pledge of the Good

Sam Club to others.

Consonant with the most liberal spirit of tolerance in the

achievement of our purpose, we further agree that in its

vigorous pursuit, this Good Sam Club shall at all times during

the span of its existence, maintain an attitude strictly non-

sectarian, non-partisan, non-sectional and non-racial, and it

shall not, as an organization, take any part in political issues,

or the affairs of state/province or governing body with the

sole exception of those which exclusively affect the positive

attitude.
