Promise Law Motto

The Cub Law
The Cub respects the Old Wolf *,
The Cub respects him/herself.

* an "Old Wolf" refers to a leader or any respected adult

By respect, we hope that a Cub will learn to obey those in authority -- leaders, parents, teachers, police, etc. We hope that a Cub will also learn some judgement, to discern between doing smart things and doing dumb things. How does a Cub respect him- or herself? By not doing dumb things, taking care of his or her body and mind -- good eating habits, exercise, learning, and having fun.

The Cub Promise
I promise to do my best
To love and serve God, to do my duty to the Queen;
To keep the law of the Wolf Cub pack,
And to do a good turn for somebody every day.

What does this mean? A Cub doesn't have to be the very best at everything, but a Cub is supposed to try to do the best job possible at all times. A Cub should follow the requirements of his or her personal religion; should obey the rules and laws put in place to help the pack, the school, and society; and should help other people.

The Cub Motto
Do Your Best

During every Grand Howl, Cubs are reminded of this part of the promise when they howl "DYB, DYB, DYB, DYB."
