The Cub Scout Law is an important part of the Cub Scout program. It outlines important values and principles that we hope to instill in our young scouts through the activities and experiences they have within our organization. To help reinforce the Cub Scout Law, many leaders choose to display a poster in their meeting space that showcases each part of the law in a memorable and visually engaging way.
