The Cub Scout Motto: Do Your Best
What does this mean? It doesn't mean you always have to be the best, it simply means that whatever you do - school work, sports, music, or any other activity - you do it the best that you can. Sometimes you are going to win, and that is awesome, but sometimes you will not. But if you do your best you will have nothing to be ashamed of, because somebody elses best might be a little bit better that day.
