The Principles of Scouting
Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America have helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Scouting. Beginning in 2018, girls will be given these same opportunities to explore the outdoors and earn adventure loops in their own all-girl dens within the pack. Here are the rules all Scouts live by: |
Scout Oath On my honor, I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country And to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. |
Scout Law A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. |
Cub Scout Motto Do Your Best! |
Boy Scout Motto Be Prepared! |
Boy Scout Slogan Do a Good Turn Daily! |
The Outdoor Code As an American, I will do my best to Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate in the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. |
The Colors of Scouting
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. Blue The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. Gold The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness. |
