I promise to DO MY BEST.

To do my duty to God, and to the Queen,

To keep the Law of the Wolf Cub Pack, and to do a good turn to somebody every day.

1. The Cub gives in to the Old Wolf.
2. The Cub does not give in to himself.

Do Your Best

Start squatted hands between feet

All Cubs: Ah--kay-la!--We-e-e-e-ll do-o-o-o o-o-u-u-r BEST.

Spring to feet with two fingers of each hand pointing upwards at each side of head, to look like two wolf's ears.

Leading Cub: Dyb -- dyb -- dyb -- dyb (Meaning Do Your Best)

After the fourth 'dyb' each Cub drops his left hand smartly to his side, and spreads his fingers into the salute with his right hand, and squeals

All Cubs: We-e-ell

and barks

All Cubs: Dob -- dob -- dob -- dob (Meaning Do Our Best)

On the fourth 'dob' each Cub drops his right hand smartly to his side, and is now standing at the alert waiting for further orders.

I promise that I will do my best,

to do my duty to God and to the Queen,

to help other people

and to keep the Cub Scout Law.

This is the original Cub Scout Law as laid down in the Advance Party Report:

A Cub Scout always does his best,

thinks of others before himself

and does a good turn every day.

In 1993 The Cub Scout Law was modified as a consequence of the decision to allow girls Membership of the junior sections, and became:

Cub Scouts always do their best,

think of others before themselves and

do a good turn every day.

As part of the 'unifing moves' of the Advance Party Report it was decided that the Cub and Scout sections would use the same motto:

Be Prepared

Although the Chief Scout's Advance Party lessened the Links with the Jungle Book, it was viewed that the Grand Howl should stay, but the mysterious DYBs and DOBs should go:

On the leaders signal (raising and lowering arms), the Cubs squat down, hands between feet.

All Cubs: Akela, we'll do our BEST.

Spring to feet

Leading Cub: Salutes Cubs! Do your BEST

All Cubs: Salute We WILL do our BEST

And the leader takes the salute
