Scouting was originally designed as a programme for boys over the age of eleven. Very soon younger brothers wanted to be part of the "Grand Adventure”. Often they just forced their way into ordinary Troop or Patrol meetings.

To cater for the younger brothers Baden-Powell wanted something different, not a watered down Boy Scouts, but a movement in its own rights, with its own identity and programme. In 1916, outlines for such a scheme were announced; Wolf Cubs.

THAT OLD CHESTNUT! THE GRAND HOWL

The classic response when mentioning Scouting is “DYB, DYB, DYB, DOB, DOB, DOB”. The true meaning and background to this is from the Wolf Cubs Grand Howl, traditionally used at the beginning of meetings. This ceremony is now no longer in general use. The phrases stand for:

DYB – Do Your Best
DOB – Do Our Best

The Cub Scout's Promise

I promise that I will do my best, to do my duty to God and to the Queen, to help other people
and to keep the Cub Scout Law. The Cub Scout Law

The Cub Scout Law

Cub Scouts always do their best, think of others before themselves and do a good turn every day.
