Leader: The founder of Scouting, Lord Baden-Powell, once said, "God has given us a world to live in that is full of beauties and wonders and He has given us not only eyes to see them but minds to understand them if we only have the sense to look at them in that light."
With Spring well underway and Summer fast approaching, we will be spending more time in and enjoying the great outdoors once again. As we do this, let us in a true Scouting spirit, live up to our Outdoor Code:
Cubs 1-4: As an American, I will do my best to:
Cub 1: Be clean in my outdoor manners. I will treat the outdoors as a heritage to be improved for our greater enjoyment. I will keep my trash and garbage out of America's waterways, fields, woods, and roadways.
Cub 2: Be careful with fire. I will build my fire in a safe place and be sure it is dead out before I leave.
Cub 3: Be considerate in the outdoors. I will treat the public and private property with respect. I will remember that the use of the outdoors is a privilege I can lose by abuse.
Cub 4: Be conservation-minded. I will learn to practice good conservation of soil, water, forests, minerals, grasslands, and wildlife. And I will urge others to do the same. I will use sportsman-like methods in all my outdoor activities.
