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!’
