1ST CUB: Back in the good old days the waving of school colors gave people a feeling of school pride

and loyalty. Today, the blue and gold of Cub Scouting helps to build this spirit among Cub Scouts.

2ND CUB: (pointing to blue flannel board) The blue reminds us of the sky above. It stands for truth, spirituality, and steadfast loyalty.

3RD CUB: (placing "Truth" card in upper left corner) Truth means we must always be honest.

4TH CUB: (placing "Spirituality" card in upper right corner) Spirituality means a belief and faith in God.

5TH CUB: (placing "Steadfast Loyalty" card across the bottom) Steadfast Loyalty means being faithful and loyal to God, country, and your fellow man.

6TH CUB: (placing sun in center of board) The gold stands for the warm sunlight. (places "warm sunlight" card across top of sun).

7TH CUB: Gold also stands for good cheer and happiness. We always feel better when the sun is shining and so will those to whom we give good will. (places "good cheer" and "happiness" cards on each side of sun.

8TH CUB: As we wear our Cub Scout uniforms, may the meaning of the blue and gold colors make us remember our Cub Scout ideals, the Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack.
