Since its origin, the Scouting program has been
an educational experience concerned with values. In 1910, the first
activities for Scouts were designed to build character, physical fitness,
practical skills, and service. These elements were part of the original
Cub Scout program and continue to be part of Cub Scouting today
Character development should extend into every
aspect of a boy's life. Character development should also extend into
every aspect of Cub Scouting. Cub Scout leaders should strive to use Cub
Scouting's 12 core values throughout all elements of the
program—service projects, ceremonies, games, skits, songs, crafts, and all
the other activities enjoyed at den and pack meetings

service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national
communities.
