Just A Thought
NARRATOR: They call it Holiday Magic because it really does bring a change, if even for just a little while, to the way people think about and act toward one another. Tonight, as the Pack celebrates the season and our Cub Scouting experience, let's spend a little time thinking about how we can get that Holiday Magic to last a little longer.
Let's begin tonight with the Pledge of Allegiance.
C-U-B S-C-O-U-T Opening
Setting: Eight Cub Scouts have cards spelling out "CUB SCOUT" and they read their lines (written on the backs of the cards) as they step forward and hold up the cards. (At the den meeting, while preparing for the opening, have the boys decorate the cards to match what the messages are.)
"C" Holiday Magic means Cheerful Cub Scouts. We are cheerful as we work and play.
"U" Holiday Magic means Useful Cub Scouts. We help our families, our teachers, and our Scout leaders.
"B" Holiday Magic means Busy Cub Scouts. We are busy helping others enjoys the Holiday
Season.
"S" Holiday Magic means Serving Cub Scouts. We give service with a smile and help the needy.
"C" Holiday Magic means Courteous Cub Scouts. When we are courteous, others will be
courteous too.
"O" Holiday Magic means Orderly Cub Scouts. We keep our rooms and belongings orderly, which helps our families in this busy season.
"U" Holiday Magic means Understanding Cub Scouts. We remember to keep secrets and
understand when our parents are tired or busy.
"T" Holiday Magic means Thankful Cub Scouts. We are thankful for our home, church, and school and for our families and friends.
Hanukkah Opening
Setting: Letters of the word "Hanukkah" are written on cards with the lines for the boys to say written on the backs of the cards. Each boy steps forward, holds up his card, and reads his lines.
H stands for Hannah, courageous and true
Who would not yield, so her sons they slew.
A stands for Antiochus, Syrian King;
Who tried from Jordean, Greek worship to bring.
N stands for night, so joyful in many ways
Because oil in the gruse burned for eight days.
U sands for unfurling the Macabee banner
Who led us onward in so valiant a manner.
K stands for Kindness, goodness and glory
All are part of this inspiring story.
K is for Keepsake of candles so bright
That father, with Bronchos, will light every night.
A stands for all, living far and wide,
Who tonight are glowing with true Jewish pride.
H stands for Hebrew, our language so old,
In which the story of Hanukkah is told.
