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.
Cub Scouts is part of the larger national organization of Boy Scouts of America. 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). The ten purposes of Cub Scouting are:
 |
Character Development | |
Respectful Relationships |
|
Spiritual Growth | |
Personal Achievement |
|
Good Citizenship | |
Friendly Service |
|
Sportsmanship and Fitness | |
Fun and Adventure |
|
Family Understanding | |
Preparation for boy Scouts |
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.
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.
Tiger Cub Motto: Search, Discover, Share.
Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best.
The Cub Scout 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.
Tiger Cubs
“Search, discover, Share”
The Tiger Cub program is designed to introduce the boys and their adult partners to Cub Scouting. The Tiger Cub uniform consists of a special orange T-shirt and the Tiger Cub hat.

“Do Your Best"
BOBCAT: This is the very first rank that EVERY boy MUST earn when entering Cub Scouts. The purpose is to instill in the new Cub Scout, the 8 "tracks" or basic tenets of Cub Scouting.
WOLF: Wolf cubs must complete 12 tracks to earn the Wolf badge. During their work at home and in the den, they earn beads as evidence that they are "progressing toward rank." Once they earn the Wolf badge, they can earn arrow point badges.
BEAR: Like Wolves, Bears too must also complete 12 tracks, but they can select from a total of 24. These achievements are categorized into God, Country, Family and Self sections. They receive "progress toward rank" beads and can earn arrow points once they are awarded the Bear badge.
WEBELOS: These older Cub Scouts prepare for the transition into Boy Scouts. They earn activity badge pins in up to 20 activity areas that introduce them to a myriad of career possibilities. More independence is evidenced as the boys complete most of their activities in the den setting. Besides the Webelos badge and activity pins, these boys strive to earn the Arrow of Light badge, Cub Scouting's highest honor.
