Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men

LEADER RECOGNITION

Have I told you lately how much I appreciate all that you do in the
Cub Program?’

Chris Reisel, Former Editor of Baloo’s Bugle

When was the last time you told another scout volunteer the above statement. Have you said thank you for all their help and for volunteering to work in our program? Just two words-----‘thank you’ They are so simple and yet not said enough. We mean to say it, we want to say it, and yet somehow, we manage to forget until it is too late. Something came up, you got distracted and the words never got said. Let me tell you now-----ITS NOT TOO LATE!

“I want to tell you how much I appreciate what you have done to help the program; THANK YOU!”

Because You Said Yes

Sam Houston Area Council

Because you said yes,

• 
  A young man will feel the pride of being someone special as he carefully puts on his uniform for the very first time
  
• 
  A young man can move to a new town and have "instant friendships" with Scouts he might never have met
  
• 
  Parents will experience that special pride when they listen to their son say the Cub Scout Promise for the first time
  
• 
  Bright eyes will become a little brighter with excitement as the kindling finally catches on the first campfire
  
• 
  The community, and the world will be richer because a young man has learned the importance of caring for his environment, and the warm feeling that comes from giving service to someone less fortunate than himself
  
• 
  A young man will contact the Boy Scouts one day and say "I had so much fun when I was a Cub Scout, I'd like to try being a leader"
  

And the circle will continue… because you said yes!

Cubmaster – This month there have been some remarkable parents/leaders who have lent their hands at some of our projects. I’d like to call them forward now and present them with the helping hands award. (Call adults forward and present hands.)

SONGS

I Am Proud-

Greater St. Louis Area Council

Tune “Yankee Doodle Dandy”

I am proud to be a Cub Scout

It makes me want to sing and shout

I wear a uniform of blue and gold,

It’s really a sight to behold

You would like to be a Cub Scout

I know without a single doubt

I do my best to do my duty

That’s what Cub Scouting is about.

9-1-1 HELP

Greater St. Louis Area Council

Tune “My Bonnie”

Emergencies they will answer,

They’re always a phone call away

They come when they’re needed most promptly

And for you they will most surely stay

Chorus:

Nine-one-one

Nine-one-one

We call on them when we need HE…LP

Medics are your friends and my friends

They answer their calls so fast

They come when they are needed so greatly

And always will stay to the last.

Chorus:

The firemen too answer calls

A fire is scary to see

But when they come oh so quickly

They put out the fire with glee

Chorus:

We often need a policeman

And 9-1-1 will get one there

Be sure that you know your address

Of this you should always be aware

Chorus:

Pack Meeting

Sam Houston Area Council

to the tune – Clementine

When our Cub Pack is outside at dusk

And our camp fire’s all aglow,

We will form a friendship circle,

As we sing so sweet and low.

We’re brave Tiger Scouts, and Wolf and Bear Scouts,

And trusty Webelos we’ll be.

To our Scout Law and Scout Oath

We will pledge our loyalty.

I’ve Got That Cub Scout Spirit

Great Salt Lake Council

I’ve got that Cub Scout spirit up in my head

(Point to head each time you say it)

Up in my head, Up in my head

I’ve got that Cub Scout spirit up in my head

Up in my head to stay

Repeat verse above and sing in turn:

Deep in my heart (Point to your heart)

Down in my feet (Touch your toes)

All over me (Make big circles with your arms)

Last Verse

I’ve got that Cub Scout spirit

Up in my head (Point to head)

Deep in my heart, (Point to heart)

down in my feet, (Touch your toes)

I’ve got that Cub Scout spirit all over me (Circle arms)

All over me to stay. (Circle arms)

The Yankee Doodle Scout Law

Sam Houston Area Council

to the tune – Yankee Doodle

Trusty Tommy was a Scout

Loyal to his mother

Helpful to the friends about, and

Friendly to his brother

Courteous to all about

Kind unto the rabbits

Obedient to his father, too, and

Cheerful in his habits

Thrifty saving for a need

Brave, and not a faker

Clean in thought and word and deed, and

Reverent to his Maker.

America, My Homeland

Sam Houston Area Council

to the tune – You are my Sunshine

You are my homeland,

You are a great land.

You make me happy,

You make me free.

Your flag I’ll honor,

I’ll pledge allegiance.

The USA is good to me.

I’M A YANKEE DOODLE DANDY

by George M. Cohan

Santa Clara County Council

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

A Yankee Doodle, do or die

A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam

Born on the Fourth of July

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart

She's my Yankee Doodle joy

Yankee Doodle came to London

Just to ride the ponies

I am the Yankee Doodle Boy

TOMMY THE CUB SCOUT

Santa Clara County Council

Tune: Frosty the Snowman

Tommy, the Cub Scout

Was a very happy boy.

With a uniform of blue and gold

And a Den that gave him joy.

Tommy, the Cub Scout

Earned his badges one by one.

He did his best and met the test.

A good citizen he's become.

He helps out other people when

He sees they need a lot.

He does his chores around the house

And feeds his dog (named Spot).

Tommy, the Cub Scout

Does his duty willingly.

Someday he'll join a Boy Scout Troop

And a fine man he will be.
