BALOO'S BUGLE
Volume 22, Number 2

Change is the law of life.

And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

John F Kennedy

BRAVE / SUPER CUB!

THE BRAVEST MAN I KNOW…


Brave is our Scout Law part for this month. So I went out to pick someone to highlight who was brave. My first choice (If you know me, not a surprise) was Davy Crockett. But I just used him for Trustworthy. Then I googled the phrase I used for the title of this item. I got many pages of hits on Severus Snape, the instructor in the Harry Potter books. I did find a great article by Michael Bass of CNN about his Dad, a WWII vet, being bravest person he knew. And for many years I felt the same about my Dad, a WWII vet and a Police Officer. But his story is copyrighted and mine would take too long to write. The story of Michael Bass's Dad can be found at: http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/09/opinion/bass-dad-hero-world-war-two/ if you wish to use it for a Cubmaster's Minute or to make point this month.

If you are looking for other examples - there is the classic, Profiles in Courage by John F Kennedy. Profiles in Courage is a 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning volume of short biographies describing acts of bravery and integrity by eight United States Senators throughout history.

Or Tom Brokaw's, The Greatest Generation. The Greatest Generation describes the bravery and other characteristics of the generation who grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World War II, as well as those whose productivity within the war's home front made a decisive material contribution to the war effort.

And then I read the obituary for Augusta Chiwy and knew who I would highlight. A WWII nurse at the Battle of the Bulge.

The Cub Scout Core Values are now the
12 Points of the Scout Law.


The core value highlighted this month is:

Brave -


  • A Scout can face danger although he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at him or threaten him.

Why "Super Cub!" for Brave?

  • Superheroes are known for facing danger even when they are afraid. A Scout, like a superhero, has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at him or threaten him.

Per our Founder, Lord Baden-Powell

Note – The original Scout Law published in 1908 had 9 points. In 1910, the BSA added Brave, Clean, and Reverent. In 1911 B-P added Clean to his original list and defined it the following way: (So I do not have a B-P definition of Brave)
