Pull Together
from Unknown Author
PERSONNEL
Cubmaster, advancing Cub Scouts, parents, den leaders.
EQUIPMENT
A ceremonial awards board. Set up the board with strings and panels in place,
certificates, badges, and arrow points to be awarded; safety pins; five colored
candles (white-Bobcat, yellow-Wolf, red-Bear, blue-Webelos, green-Arrow of
Light) in any kind of candelabra, and a table.
ARRANGEMENT
Cub Scouts seeking Wolf rank line up to the right of the ceremonial awards board
with their parents. The den leaders stand to the left of the board. All face the
audience. As the ceremony opens, only those candles are burning that represent
ranks for which no awards are to be given. Badges and arrow points to be awarded
are fastened (transparent tape is good) to the appropriate panel of the
ceremonial board. Certificates may be placed on a table, ready to be presented
with the badges and arrow points.
Cubmaster:
(Lights the candle representing the Wolf rank.) In order to advance to
the Wolf rank, you Cub Scouts and parents have worked together, played together,
and made things together. As a Cub Scout team you must pull together a little
longer and harder to earn each succeeding rank. Will parents and boys pull the
string attached to the panel representing the Wolf rank. (Out of the base of
the ceremonial board a panel appears with the word "Wolf' on it. Fastened to the
panel are Wolf badges and Gold and Silver Arrow Points for the eligible Cub
Scouts.)
Den Leader:
(Takes the badges and arrow points to present to the parents.) Parents,
pin this badge on the left pocket of your sods uniform shirt. The Wolf Cub Scout
Book will show you the correct position when you sew the badge on his shirt. And
here is a certificate of your son's new rank. He will carry it with pride.
Congratulations to you, parents and Cub Scouts, on the progress you have made.
Keep climbing together.
(This procedure can
be used for each rank, including the Arrow of Light Award, lighting the
appropriate candle as each rank is awarded.)
