MERCHANT: I came to the goldfields to provide supplies and outfit the miners. The work is hard and I'm always out of supplies.

BLACKSMITH: I came to the goldfields to make equipment and keep bullion wagons moving. The work is hard and I'm always out of picks and shovels, horseshoes, and wagon wheels.

TEAMSTER: I came to the goldfields to carry supplies in and gold dust out of the mining camps. The work is hard and my horses are always thirsty and hungry.

SALOONKEEPER: I came to the goldfields to mine the miners. The work is hard and I never have enough root beer.

The ideals of Cub Scouting will last forever in my character. Eureka! I've found it! ... The BLUE and GOLD of Cub Scouting. Please join me in the Cub Scout Promise.
