Law of the Pack. |
The Cub Scout Follows Akela,
|
|
Now you know The Law of the Pack, what does it mean? Just saying saying the words will not make you a good Cub Scout! Get your parents to help you understand what the real meaning is. Get them to read the following with you, stopping along the way to share examples or come up with situations where The Law of the Pack will help you. The Cub Scout follows Akela (say Ah-KAY-la) means: Akela is a good leader. At home, your mother or father is Akela. In the Pack, your Cubmaster is Akela. Your Den Leader is Akela. At school, your teacher is Akela. Did you know that the whole Cub Scout and Boy Scout program is designed to make YOU into a leader? Yes, one day YOU will share the duties of Akela. The scouting programs make you confident, fair, caring, honest, resourceful, among the many other character traits that make good leaders. This is why the emblem on our den's home page has the phrase, "Strong Values, Strong Leaders." That emblem also reminds you, "Character Counts." The Cub Scout helps the Pack go means: Come to all the meetings. Do what you can to help. Think of others in the pack. The Pack helps the Cub Scout grow means: You can have fun when you are a part of the pack. Learn things from others. Do things with them. The Cub Scout gives goodwill means: Smile. Be happy. Do things that make others happy. They don't have to be big things. Little things help, too. Sometimes just smiling at someone makes them feel better. |
