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.
Cub Scout Motto… DO YOUR BEST!
Citizenship Cis for Courage to do what is right. Tis for being Thankful and showing our gratitude for the blessings of living in this country. Zis for the Zeal and enthusiasm shown by our military when they fight for freedom. Eis for the Energy needed to be a good citizen – you can’t just sit and do nothing, because citizens vote and participate to protect our world. Nis for Nation – the citizens of our country came from many countries and cultures, speaking many languages, to form one nation under God. Sis for Service that every citizen and especially Cub Scouts give to make our families, community, nation, and world a better place to live. His for Honesty and integrity – part of being a good citizen. Pis for Patriotism – love of country and the willingness to sacrifice to defend it.
Citizenship What’s letter is missing? The most important letter in Citizenship is the “I” because “I” (and you) am the one who should be a good citizen!
Citizenship in the Ranks As a Tiger, a scout promises to “do my duty to God and my country” and learns to handle and fold the flag. The boys in the Wolf Den show that they can be good citizens; they are learning the responsibilities of being a citizen of the world and community. Like all good citizens, they learn to follow the rules! The boys in the Bear Den learn how to help prevent crime by making sure their home is safe. They also learned how to reach the right people in an emergency and they made sure their family is safer by posting important numbers by each phone. They help at home and in their community to make it a better place to live. The Webelos Den is working on the Citizenship Belt Loop and learning about the rights and responsibilities of being a United States citizen. They learn that service is part of being a good scout and a good citizen.
