During the Ceremony
Hello Cub Scouts! You are working hard on learning the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Good job! As you’re learning, I want to make sure you know what it means. So today, I want to talk about being Trustworthy, which is the first point of the Scout Law. A Scout is Trustworthy. It’s a big word, but it means something really simple: being someone people can believe in and count on.
When you say you’re going to do something, like cleaning up your toys or helping a friend, you make a promise. And when you keep that promise, people know they can trust you.
Being trustworthy means we behave safely. We follow our leaders’ instructions and do our best to follow the rules.
Being trustworthy is like being a superhero! If you say you’ll help, or you say you’ll try your best, it’s like putting on your superhero cape. And when you do what you say, you’re showing everyone that they can count on you.
It is no mistake that Trustworthy is the first point of the Scout Law. All other points of the Scout Law build on this one.
Remember: always do your best, keep your promises, and be someone others can count on. That’s what being trustworthy is all about!
