The Cub Scout Motto


One of the first items a new scout will learn is the 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. Cub Scouting teaches boys that no one can find fault with them if they always do their best.

As a Cub Scout, you "do your best" and you help others. 

The Boy Scout Promise and Scout Law

On my honor, I will do my best

Friendly, Courteous, Kind,

Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty,

Brave, Clean, and Reverent.


Cub Scout 12 Core Values


 

Since its origin, the Scouting program has been an educational experience concerned with values. In 1910, the first activities for Scouts were designed to build character, physical fitness, practical skills, and service. These elements were part of the original Cub Scout program and continue to be part of Cub Scouting today.

Character development should extend into every aspect of a boy's life. Character development should also extend into every aspect of Cub Scouting. Cub Scout leaders should strive to use Cub Scouting's 12 core values throughout all elements of the program.

1.
Citizenship: Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities.
