When I was a boy (in England) it was the Cubs, rather than the full blown Scouts, who had this motto.
As far as I can see from their official site, it is still part of the various rituals, although I stand to be corrected.

Dyb - Do your best.
Dob - Do our best.

These slogans have not been used officially in scouting since 1967.

No longer part of Cub ceremony. At Grand Howl, a designated Cub says, 'Cubs, do your best', and the rest of the Cubs mutter or shout 'We will do our best'. Most of them have never heard of dyb or dob - yet outsiders all have.

I would like to refer to the following as still being used in the Australian scouting movement (of which cubs are a part of), that the terminology as well as "Arkela" for cub leader are still used. A story on a cub jamboree (cubilee) in Australia in available by following this link.
