Our Promise and Law
The Cubs of the Twenties came into Cubbing for the same reason you did - to enjoy the outdoors, learn some new skills and to have some fun. There's something else that is not different: Our Cub Promise and Cub Law.
Ever since 1910, more than 75 years ago, Cubs have been gathering at troop meetings and repeating the exact same Cub Promise and Law.
I think that's amazing. The world has changed in many ways over 75 years. when Cubbing was new, a boy's life was very different. There was no television, no radio, movies were brand new, most people traveled by horse and carriage or train, adults worked long hours six days a week - and so did some kids. It was just a different world. But the first Cubs in 1910 pledged themselves to the same Cub Promise and Law. And they tried to live by it, just as I hope you do today. Let's think about that as we repeat the Cub Promise and Law.
