CUBMASTER'S MINUTE

Cubmaster: As we go back to our homes, parents might keep these thoughts in mind---council your sons that they have the eyes to behold the golden, red and purple sun sets, that they have the ears to hear the voice of the great spirit; guide them to have hands that respect the things that God has made. Help them seek strength, not to be superior to others but to be helpful to others. Help them along the Cub Scout Trail to do their best.

Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, said this to Scouts everywhere: “I often think when the sun goes down, the world is hidden by a big blanket from the light of heaven, but the stars are little holes pierced in that blanket by those who have done good deeds in this world. The stars are not all the same size; some are big, some are little, and some men have done small deeds but they have made their hole in the blanket by doing good before they go to heaven. Try to make your hole in the blanket by good work while you are on earth. It is something to be good, but it is far better to do good.” Think of Baden- Powell’s words when you promise “to help other people.”
