The reference is to Jem's secrets. He is telling them. He doesn't care if he gets in trouble. Scout's noting, if for my safety -if not his own (Usually people try to take care of themselves before others - 'safety' here refers to Scout and Jem being in trouble with their father.
He was admitting everything ..leaving nothing out (omitting)
The knot-hole as a secret. The pants (shorts left behind and then recovered)
