Why - Blue and Gold

According to the 1939 Cubmaster's Packbook:

"The Cub colors…signify the loyalty as symbolized by the true blue of the eternal skies--while its gold represents the brightness

and worth and light of the Cub's smile and happy ways.“

"Blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, the sky above.” "Gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and

happiness".

From page 271 of the 1961 printing of the Cubmaster's Packbook (BSA #3200):
