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

Cub Law
The Cub respects the Old Wolf
The Cub respects him or herself

Cub Motto
Do Your Best (DYB)

Don't forget, we'll be working on the family helper badge (page 196 in your books) over the next couple of weeks.

Until Wednesday,
