CUB SCOUT PROMISE

I promise, to do my best,

to do my duty to god and my country.
To help other people,
and to obey the law of the pack.

Promise ... To promise means you will keep your word when you tell someone you will do something. People will trust you when you keep your promises.

Do my best ... We are not all alike, so when we do our best it means that we have tried as hard as we can.

 

Do my duty ... We know what is right and what is wrong, so we know what we should do at all times. When we do our duty to God, this means we practice our religion at home and at our place of worship. When we do our duty to our country, we stand up for our country. Be proud that you are an American. Stand up for your rights and the rights of all Americans. Help other people ... Do things for people even when you are not asked. Be good to people: help them and don't expect to be rewarded.

Obey the Law of the Pack ... Be a good Cub Scout and be proud that you are one.

 

SCOUT LAW

"The Cub Scout follows Akela. The Cub Scout helps the pack go. The pack helps the Cub Scout grow. The cub Scout gives goodwill."

Remember Akela (ah-Kay-la) in the story? Akela is a Cub Scout name for a good leader. This can be your fahter, mother guardian, aunt, uncle, grandparent, teacher, den leader, Cubmaster, or den chief. Cub Scouts learn to be good leaders. 

To be a good leader you must also learn to follow good leaders and learn from them.

Helps the pack go ...You should go to den meetings and pack meetings and help your den in work and play. Help your pack in goodwill efforts and money-earning projects.

Helps the Cub Scout grow ... The pack gives you a chance to learn new skills and to meet new friends. The pack also gives you a chance to be proud of yourself when you earn each new rank.

Gives goodwill ... A Cub Scout is kind and thinks about making other people happy.

 

 


CUB SCOUT MOTTO

Do Your Best.

This means to try as hard as you can in everything you do.

 

CUB SCOUT HANDSHAKE

When you shake hands, use your right hand. Put the first two fingers along the inside of your friend's wrist. This means that you are brothers in Cub Scouting and that both of you help other people and obey the Law of the Pack.


 


SIGNS UP !!

Make this sign with your right hand. Hold your arm up straight. Do not bend your elbow.

The two fingers stand for the two points of the Promise - to help other people and to obey.

They look like a wolf's ears ready to listen to Akela.

When you say the Cub Scout Promise or lthe Law of the Pack, give the Cub Scout sign. This is the sign of Cub Scouts all over the world.

 

CUB SCOUT SALUTE

The Cub Scout salute means you respect our country's flag. Salute with your right hand.

If you are wearing your Cub Scout cap, place your two fingers on the brim. 

If you do not have a cap, place your two fingers over your eyebrow.

  "What is Cub Scouting"  .... more 

Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions. (The others are Boy Scouting and Venturing.)
