 When we obey the traffic safety laws and respect other people's property, we are doing our duty to the Queen and all Canadians. Whenever we do something to help make Canada a better country, like protecting our environment and helping others, we are also doing our duty to the Queen.
 ==To keep the law of the Wolf Cub Pack ==
-The law of the Wolf Cub Pack says : The Cub respects the Old Wolf; The Cub respects himself / herself. When Mowgli lived with the wolves in the jungle, he learned that they had to hunt together and follow the directions of Akela, the Old Wolf, if they were going to survive. The Old Wolf represents the Cubs and the pack. Obeying the law helps the pack stay together and have fun.

 ==And to do a good turn for somebody every day ==
 Doing a good turn means helping someone just for the sake of helping, without expecting a reward. A good turn can be a big one like saving someone's life, or a small one like smiling at someone or doing the dishes without being asked. Usually, we only have chances to do small good turns, but we have lots of chances to do them because there are so many good turns that need to be done.

-Scouts is not a military organization, there certainly needs to be some discipline and respect.  The Cub Law reads “The Cub respects the Old Wolf; The Cub respects himself/herself.”  The Old Wolf in this context is anyone in authority, whether it be a parent, Scouter or a Howler.

+* Two finger cub sign (two together straight up) – hand goes up, the mouth goes closed, and put up your hand in a cub salute.  Be quiet and waiting for instruction.  This is a straightened form of the curved fingers used in Beavers (Beaver teeth).  In Scouts, they use three fingers.
 * Two finger salute (two spread at forehead) – permission to enter rock circle, during ceremonies, etc.

+The salute is a very old form of greeting.  Long ago when people greeted each other, they held up their right hand with the palm forward to show that they had no weapon in it.  The salute is also a sign of respect and friendship for a Scouter or another Cub or Scout.  When you salute a Scouter or another Cub or Scout you use a special sign.  You hold up your right hand with two fingers spread out to look like the pointed ears of a wolf.
 =Handshake=
 Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Cubbing and Scouting, once met an African chief who greeted him by shaking hands with the left hand. The chief explained that the left handshake was a sign of trust, because you would lay down your shield to do so. Today, Cubs and Scouts shake hands with the left hand. It is a sign that they are all members of the Worldwide Scouting family.
