Cub Scouting...
...is a fun, family program designed to promote character, fitness, and citizenship in boys in the first through fifth grades. Cub Scouting seeks to help parents foster boys' self-esteem and teach cooperation and leadership through games, crafts, sports, skill building, recognition, and other fun activities. The boys learn to work and playtogether, help out in the community, But, most importantly, they learn about themselves with the guidanceof the values that Cub Scouting strives to instill. The values are based on those found in the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack and the Cub Scout Motto:
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.
Law of the Pack
The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the Pack go.
The Pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill.
The Cub Scout Motto....
"Do Your Best"
Doing his best is one of the most important things for the Cub Scout to learn. Boys often become so interested in winning that they fail to see the importance of doing the best they can at everything. One boy's best might be quite different from another boy's best. Cub Scouting teaches boys that no one can find fault with them if they always do their best.
