Character development is a part of everything a Cub Scout does. Lessons can be found in every aspect of the Cub Scouting experience. In an effort to make character development an integral part of Cub Scouting, the twelve core values are being integrated throughout the program. When it comes to developing character, the complete person must be considered. Character development involves at least three critical areas: Know (thought), Commit (feeling) and Practice (behavior). In Cub Scouting, addressing these three critical areas and relating them to the 12 core values is referred to as Character Connections.
