Know: Say the Cub Scout Promise to your
family. Discuss these questions with them. What is a promise? What does
it mean to keep your word? What does it mean to be trustworthy? What
does honesty mean?
Commit: Discuss these questions with your
family. Why is a promise important? Why is it important for people to
trust you when you give your word? When might it be difficult to be
truthful? List examples.
Practice: Discuss with a family member why
it is important to be trustworthy and honest. How can you do your best
to be honest even when it is difficult?
