The aim and objectives
of Cubbing are achieved
through the use of a bal-

anced program of fun and. -

activities built around
eight elements. These are:

acting, crafts, games,

music, outdoor activities,
star work, badge work
and stories.

Cubs attend weekly
meetings in a large group
called a pack which usual-
ly consists of from 18 to
36 boys. An adult. volun-
teer fills the role. of pack
leader and he usually has
one assistant for every
twelve boys. ;

The. pack is broken

down into smaller groups.

of boys called sixes. Bach
six is led by a boy called a
sixer and each sixer usual-
ly has an. appointed see-
ond. Sixes are known by
their colors such as red
Six, green six, etc..

To become invested a

-boy must, among. other

things, know .and under-
stand his promise, law and
motto.

The Cub promise. is: I
promise to do my. best, To

do my duty to God- and.

the Queen; To keep the
law of the Wolf Cub
Pack. And to do a good
turn to somebody every-
day.

The Cub law is: The
Cub gives into the, Old
Wolf. The Cub does not
give into himself.

The Cub motto is: Do
your best.

While many activities in
Cubbing are carried out in

a large pack group there is

also emphasis on recogni-
tion for individual a-
chievement. Through
passing tests and meeting
certain standards Cubs are
able to earn stars and
badges to wear on their
uniform,

There is emphasis in
Cubbing, on outdoor ac-
tivities, especially camp-
ing. Camping provides sit-
uations for boys to think
and do and learn - for
theinselves.
