ARRANGEMENT
The Bobcat candidates and their parents stand within a circle of Cub Scouts and
parents. The Cubmaster, standing at one side, faces them over the fire.
Cubmaster: You have come tonight seeking admission to the friendship
and fun of Cub Scouting. You have attended a meeting of the den you expect to
join. You have learned, along with your parents, those things necessary to
become a Bobcat. Will you give the Cub Scout sign and repeat with me the Cub
Scout Promise. (They do so.)
Parents,
we welcome you. Cub Scouting is for the whole family. Fun and friendship within
this circle come because we have all joined hands, Cub Scouts and parents, in
order to make it so. As parents, you have certain responsibilities in Cub
Scouting. We expect that you will attend the monthly pack meetings and work with
your son on his achievements, approving them for him when satisfactorily
completed. We will expect you to assist, when called upon along with the rest of
the parents, in various leadership capacities. Will you accept this
responsibility?
Parents: We will.
Cubmaster: Parents, please pin this Bobcat badge on your son making him
an official Cub Scout. (Parents place pins on sons.) This privilege will
be yours for each badge he earns. We expect that you will work as hard as he on
some of the projects.' (Cubmaster presents membership cards.) Your boy is
now starting up the Cub Scout trail. May you all be happy with us in this pack.
Cub Scouts, what is your motto?
Cub Scouts: Do Your Best! (The Cubmaster gives each family the Cub
Scout handshake and congratulations.)
