What you need to know for your Investiture Ceremony...

To become a Cub Scout, you need to be "invested". This is a ceremony where you will be given the membership badge to wear on your uniform. You can come to Cubs for a few weeks before this ceremony to learn what Cubs do, and to see if you like it. Once you are sure you want to be a Cub, ask your leaders if you can be invested.

There are some things you need to learn and know before you can become a Cub... try to learn them... at your investiture ceremony you will say the Cub Scout Promise.

You can download the 4th Glasgow Cubs information booklets for kids (outside pages and inside pages), and the one for parents. These tell you all you need to know. If you've got any questions, you can email or call Spud.

The Cub Scout Motto:
Be Prepared

The man who founded Scouts was called Robert Baden-Powell... it's his initials that were adopted in the motto "Be Prepared".

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

The Cub Scout Sign:
Is made with your right hand, held just in front of your shoulder, pointing upwards.
The 3 middle fingers point upwards... they signify the Motto, Promise, and Law.
The 3 fingers also signify the 3 principles of Scouting... Duty to self, Duty to others, Duty to God

The Cub Scout Handshake:
In Scouting, we shake hands with our left hand... this is a kind of secret handshake!

You'll need to have a Cub sweatsirt for your investiture. You can buy them at the Glasgow Scout Shop - online or in person.
