Cub Scout Promise in ASL

Attention all WEBELOS,

The Webelos Den will be performing the Cub Scout Promise in Sign Language at the May 24 Rocket Launch/Recruitment meeting.  Please practice.  Thank you! (In the above video, she does not sign the words "to," "and," "of, and "the".  That is OK and correct when communicating in ASL).

To make it easier to learn individual words, you may look them up in this free online ASL dictionary: http://www.aslpro.com/cgi-bin/aslpro/aslpro.cgi
