It doesn't seem to help. They just hate the non-cowboys, who don't adhere to the cowboy code. in their opinion.

No. 8 sounds a lot like the BSA promise.

(8,976 posts)4. Looks like the other way around.
From Wiki:From 1940 to 1956, Autry had a huge hit with a weekly show on CBS Radio, Gene Autry's Melody Ranch. His horse, Champion, also had a CBS-TV and Mutual radio series, The Adventures of Champion. In response to his many young radio listeners aspiring to emulate him, Autry created the Cowboy Code, or Ten Cowboy Commandments. These tenets promoting an ethical, moral, and patriotic lifestyle that appealed to youth organizations such as the Boy Scouts, which developed similar doctrines.
A simpler time for sure.
