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 />

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_Law<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
