• Cubmaster: "One day in 1909, an American businessman named William Boyce was having trouble finding his way in the London fog. As he stood on the street, a young boy approached him and asked if he could help. Mr. Boyce told him the address he was looking for, and the boy led him to his destination. When Mr. Boyce attempted to give him a tip for his help, the boy said, 'No thank you, sir, I'm a Scout and Scouts do not accept rewards for doing good turns.' This meeting inspired Mr. Boyce to form the Boy Scouts of America.

  "The slogan of the Boy Scouts is 'Do a good turn daily.' As Cub Scouts, we say in our promise that we will help other people. A very important part of the Cub Scout program is the advancement of the boys as they work to be good Cub Scouts. We recognize the Cub Scouts in our pack in honor of that unknown scout in England."

• Cubmaster: "When a Cub Scout reaches third grade, he begins working from the Big Bear book. Just as Akela met the bear with courage, the Scout walks the Big Bear trail. On that trail, he finds and conquers 12 challenging achievements in the categories of God, country, family, and self.

  "You have done all of this and now I will reward you with your Bear badge and the markings of the bear."
