HOW CAN YOU BECOME A CUB SCOUT?
Would you
like to be a Cub Scout? You can if you are in the second
grade, or if
you are 8 or 9 years old. You can be a Webelos Scout if you are in
the fourth or fifth grade, or if you are 10 years old. Ask your parents
to find out if there is a pack near your home. If there is, the Cubmaster
will be pleased to meet you and your parents and will give you an
application to join.
FOLLOW
THE BOBCAT TRAIL
Learn and say the 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.
Say the Law
of the Pack. Tell what it means.
The
Cub Scout follow Akela.
The
Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The
pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
The
Cub Scout gives goodwill.
Akela
(say Ah-KAY-la) means "good leader" to a Cub Scout. Akela
is your mother
or your
father. so is your Cubmaster or your den leader. In the Law of the Pack,
you say you
will follow Akela. This means you will walk in the steps of your cub
Scout den
leaders. And you say you will help the pack go. You will go to your Cub
Scout meetings,
where you will do what you can to help. When you go, you will
be taught
new things. You will learn games and tricks and crafts. This is how the
Cub Scout
grows. The last part of the law of the Pack says you will give goodwill.
This means
to smile. Be happy. Help others. Help does not have to be big. Small
things
help, too.
Tell what Webelos
means.
Webelos
(say WEE-buh-lows) sounds like and Indian name, but it is not. It is
formed from the
dark
letters in We'll Be
Loyal Scouts. It
is a secret word, just for Cub Scouts. Webelos Scouts are
10-year-old Cub Scouts. They belong to a den. They work to earn the Arrow of
Light Award. This
is the highest award in Cub Scouting.
Show the Cub
Scout sign. Tell what it means.
Make the
sign with your right hand. Hold your arm straight up. The two raised
fingers
stand for two parts of the Promise---"to help other people" and
"to obey the
Law of the Pack." The two raised fingers look like the sharp ears of
the wolf
listening to Akela.
Show the Cub
Scout handshake. Tell what it means.
When you
shake hands with another Cub Scout, place the first two fingers of
your right
hand along the inside of his right wrist. The Cub Scout handshake
means that
the Cub Scout are squared away and that both of them obey the
Law of the
Pack.
Say the Cub
Scout motto.
Do
Your Best.
A motto is a
rule for living. The Cub Scout motto asks you to do your best at
all times.
You do your best in school and at home. You do your best to help
your team
win a game. You may not do some things as well as another boy.
Just do as
well as you can. That is what the motto means.
Give the Cub
Scout salute. Tell what it means.
Salute with
your right hand. Hold you first two fingers close together. Touch
your
fingertips wo your cap. Touch your eyebrow if your are not wearing a cap.
This is the
way to show respect to your den leaders. You salute the flag to show
respect to
our country. And you can greet another Cub Scout this way.
