  • Webelos handbook  

During the meeting: 

  1. Using the back cover of the Webelos handbook for a reference, lead the den in reciting the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. 
  2. Talk to Cub Scouts about the three points of the Scout Oath. They are:   
    • Duty to God & Country 
    • Duty to Other People 
    • Duty to Self 
  3. Ask Cub Scouts what they think each of the points means. If they have trouble with any of these, use this information as a resource to help you guide the discussion.
    • Duty To God And Country:
      Your family and religious leaders teach you to know and serve God. By following these teachings, you do your duty to God. 
      Men and women of the past worked to make America great, and many gave their lives for their country.
      By being a good family member and a good citizen, by working for your country’s good and obeying its laws, you do your duty to your country. Obeying the Scout Law means living by its 12 points. 
    • Duty To Other People: 
      Many people need help. A cheery smile and a helping hand make life easier for others. By doing a Good Turn daily and helping when you’re needed, you prove yourself a Scout and do your part to make this a better world. 
    • Duty To Self: 
      Keeping yourself physically strong means taking care of your body. Eat the right foods and build your strength. Staying mentally awake means learning all you can, being curious, and asking questions. Being morally straight means to live your life with honesty, to be clean in your speech and actions, and to be a person of strong character.
