Every Cub who joins the Pack has to make the same promise and keep to the same law as every other Cub in the country. Although the promise and law may be worded differently in other countries, to allow for cultural and religious differences, these have the same meaning as those used throughout the world for members of the Scout Movement:

The Promise

Cub Promise (294k)

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

The Law

Cub Law (246k)

Cub Scouts always do their best,
think of others before themselves
and do a good turn every day.

The Salute and Sign

All Cub Scouts in the UK make the same sign and salute, which are used at meetings, and at special events.

The Cub Scout Salute

The Handshake

When Cub Scouts shake hands, instead of using their right hand, as is normal, they use their left hands instead. This is because using your left hand is a sign of great trust.
