CORE VALUES

VALUES OF THE CUB SCOUT


Character Development

The Cub Scouts first began in 1910 so that boys could enrich their character, physical fitness, practical skills, and service. These goals are still an important part of Cub Scouting today and we strive to meet each and every one of them in our daily lives.

Cub Scouting promotes 12 Core values which provide for good character development. Character is "values in action."

Cub Scouting Ideals

Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, the Tiger Cub motto, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.


Cub Scout Promise

I, (name), 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.
 


Cub Scout Motto

Do Your Best.


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.



Colors

The Cub Scouting colors are blue and gold. They have special meaning, which will help boys see beyond the fun of Cub Scouting to its ultimate goals.

  • The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above.
  • The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness.
