Arrow Of Light

BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET #2

This is an involved Ceremony for a February Blue and Gold Banquet. Only the

Webelos are receiving any awards tonight. The rest of the pack will receive their awards at the regular March Pack Meeting. It is our Pack's way to say good bye to our second year Webelos, who have been with us for up to five years.

ARROW OF LIGHT - The Path

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we gather on Lord Baden-Powell's birthday (Who's Baden-Powell you say, why the founder of scouting of course) to present to you Number Webelos Scouts. They have reached a milestone in their Cub Scout journey. They have been working for several years in the pack to earn this award tonight. The Arrow of Light is the highest award in Cub Scouting, and it is very symbolic. The Arrow of Light is the only Cub Scout award that can be carried over and worn on the Boy Scout uniform.

(Need a Tiger, Bobcat (Wolf), Wolf, Bear, and Webelos scout to come forward)

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: As we follow the Cub Scout trail, our Cub Scouts learn many things.

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: Tiger cubs do things and go places together. Tiger Cub will you light the candle representing the rank of the Tiger Cub. (He does so, passes the lighter to the next scout, and then sits down after candle is lit).

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: In order to become a Bobcat, our boys must earn the law of the pack. Bobcat will you light the candle representing the rank of Bobcat. (He does so, passes the lighter to the next scout, and then sits down after candle is lit).

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: Our Cub Scouts listened, learned and worked to receive the Wolf rank. Wolf Cub Scout, will you light the candle representing the rank of Wolf. (He does so, passes the lighter to the next scout, and then sits down after candle is lit).

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: Our Cub Scout learned more new things that required little more skill, more cooperation, so, too, do our Cub Scouts earn the Bear badge. Bear Cub Scout, will you light the candle representing the rank of Bear. (He does so, passes the lighter to the next scout, and then sits down after candle is lit).

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: The Webelos Scout is between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and works on a separate 2 year program, Webelos Scout, will you light the candle representing the rank of Webelos. (He does so, passes the lighter to the next scout, and then sits down after candle is lit). Here we should stop and think of the inner meaning of the word Webelos. What does the word WEBELOS mean?

We'll Be Loyal Scouts

What shall we be loyal to?

Our country,

Our flag.

Our pack.

Our leaders.

Our families.

Our parents.

And to God our Father

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: Now, as we look back down our Cub Scout trail, we see how bright and the pathway was. Bright because you, Cub Scouts have helped make it so.
