The Scout Law has 12 points. Each is a goal for every Scout. A Scout tries to live up to the Law every day. It is not always easy to do, but a Scout always tries.

Cub Scouts are required to learn the Scout Law:

“A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.”

Scouts are also required to learn the 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.”

Pack Unit Structure:

• • Cub Scouts are in dens, which is part of a pack.
  • Each den is made up of boys that are the same rank.

Pack Leadership:
