CORE VALUES<br />
KIND is this month's point of the Scout Law.<br />
A Scout is KIND. The theme CREEPY<br />
CRAWLERS is used to help Cubs understand<br />
being KIND.<br />
A SCOUT IS KIND<br />
A Scout is kind. A Scout knows there is<br />
strength in being gentle. He treats others as he<br />
wants to be treated. Without good reason, he<br />
does not harm or kill any living thing.<br />
HOW DOES “TO THE RESCUE” RELATE<br />
TO THIS SCOUT LAW POINT?<br />
A Scout does not hurt or kill harmless things<br />
without reason. This month, explore creepy<br />
crawlers and discover the world of insects. The<br />
Scouts will learn that creepy crawlers are<br />
important to our world, and they will learn and<br />
how to be kind to our crawling friends.<br />
Per our Founder, Lord Baden-Powell<br />
the definition (or meaning) of the Scout Law<br />
point highlighted this month is:<br />

Note – The original Scout Law published in 1908 had<br />
nine points. In 1910, the BSA added Brave, Clean, and<br />
Reverent. In 1911 B-P added Clean to his original list.<br />
A SCOUT IS KIND<br />
Baden Powell said -<br />
A SCOUT IS A FRIEND TO ANIMALS. He should<br />
save them as far as possible from pain, and should not<br />
kill any animal unnecessarily, even if it is only a fly---<br />
for it is one of God's creatures.<br />
(Scouting For Boys, 1908)<br />
The Spirit of Love is after all,<br />
the Spirit of God working within you.<br />
Lord Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell<br />
Commissioner Dave Rule of Thumb -<br />
Although not 100%, I use this Rule of Thumb when<br />
discussing Courteous and Kind with Scouts – One is<br />
Courteous to people, and Kind to animals. "Be Kind<br />
to Animals Week" still exists!!<br />
In this video, the<br />
"Believe It Live It" team profiles Jeri and Don Barr and<br />
explains how their Candlelight Ranch demonstrates<br />
kindness to kids with sickness or disabilities. Go to<br />

KIND(NESS) QUOTES<br />
Quotations contain the wisdom of the ages, and are a<br />
great source of inspiration for Cubmaster’s minutes,<br />
material for an advancement ceremony or an insightful<br />
addition to a Pack Meeting program cover.<br />
An animal has been made by God, just as you have<br />
been. He is therefore a fellow-creature.<br />
Sir Robert Baden-Powel<br />
“No act of kindness,<br />
no matter how small, is ever wasted."<br />
Aesop,.<br />
Greek Slave and Fable Author (620BC–560 BC).<br />
Never be so busy as not to think of others.<br />
– Mother Teresa<br />
Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or<br />
softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not<br />
have to be cruel to be tough. -Franklin D. Roosevelt<br />
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and<br />
the blind can see. -Mark Twain<br />
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never<br />
know how soon it will be too late.<br />
-Ralph Waldo Emerson<br />
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness.<br />
Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose<br />
without regret, how to acquire without meanness.<br />
-George Sand<br />
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.<br />
-William Arthur Ward<br />
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun<br />
makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding,<br />
mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. -Albert Schweitzer<br />
Carry out a random act of kindness, with no<br />
expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one<br />
day someone might do the same for you.<br />
-Princess Diana<br />
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always<br />
make a difference. They bless the one who receives<br />
them, and they bless you, the giver.<br />
-Barbara de Angelis
