We start a Cubs meeting with our Grand Howl, which is pretty much as the Scout Website.

Before you start the Grand Howl, choose a duty Sixer

  • The leader calls out ‘Pack! Pack! Pack!’ 
  • Everyone makes a circle, standing in their Sixes. 
  • The leader calls ‘Pack! Pack alert!’
  • Everyone stands up straight and smart with their hands by their sides.
  • The leader raises and lowers their arms.
  • Cubs squat low on the ground with their hands between their feet. 
  • Cubs call out ‘(leader's name), we will do our best!’
  • Everyone stands up and makes the Scout sign.
  • The duty Sixer calls out ‘Cubs, do your best’.
  • Cubs reply ‘We will do our best!’
  • The duty Sixer goes forward and gently pulls the cord to unfurl the flag.
  • The Sixer takes a step backwards and leads everyone in saluting the flag, before returning to their Six.
  • The leader calls ‘Pack! Pack at ease!’
