Twelve
Core Values of Cubs
Since
its origin, the program of the Boy Scouts of
America has been an educational experience concerned
with Values. In 1910, the first Scouting
activities were designed to build character,
physical fitness, practical skills, and service.
These elements were a part of the original
Cub Scout program and continue to be part of
Cub Scouting TODAY.
Just
as character development should extend into
every aspect of a boy’s life, so character development
should extend into every aspect of Cub Scouting.
Cub Scouts leaders should strive to use
Cub Scouting’s twelve core values
throughout all elements of the program—service
projects, ceremonies, games, skits, songs, crafts,
and all the other activities enjoyed at den
and pack meetings.
Program
support ideas can be found in the Cub Scout
Program Helps, in the Cub Scout Leader Book,
BSA Family Book, and at your monthly Roundtable
meeting.
The
first 4 of the 12 Core Values of Cub Scouting
Citizenship:
Contributing service and showing responsibility
to local, state, and national communities.
Compassion:
Having consideration and concern for the well-being
of others.
Cooperation:
Working together with others toward a common
goal.
Courage:
Doing what is right regardless of its difficulty
or the consequences.
The
goals of the Cub Scout leader are:
to
seek out and maximize the many opportunities
to incorporate character development
to
convince the young Cub Scout that character
is important to the individual, to his family,
community, country, world, and to God
To
be continued in future SCOUTER Newsletters.

Cooking
Requirement
Exemption
for
Advancement
A significant
part of the country is currently
under fire bans that prevent
the use of open  flames
outdoors. Some of these bans
have been in effect more than
six months and are preventing
Scouts from completing Tenderfoot
requirement 3 and Second Class
requirements 2e, 2f, and 2g.
The National
Advancement Committee has approved
the substitution, during
periods of fire bans only of
the use of a cook stove or,
when no outdoor cooking is allowed,
completion of these requirements
over a kitchen stove. Please
appreciate the importance of
these exceptions to Scouts and
leaders currently working on
these requirements. These substitutions
are allowed only during periods
of fire bans.
