Arrow Of Light

You light the pathway through Cub Scouting by doing your best, helping others and giving goodwill.

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: The Arrow of light is the beginning of these cub scout's

journey into and through Boy Scouting. They have set a goal, a target if you will, in

Scouting - the Eagle Scout rank. They may not realize that the Arrow of Light is the highest rank of cub scouting and, for Cub Scouts, it is the equivalent to the Eagle rank.

These Webelos scouts are half way to their Goal.

(Applause)

Lets look at this Arrow on the Arrow of Light

How many of you have ever shot an arrow at a target? (rhetorical question)

WEBELOS DEN LEADER:And feathers on the end.

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: What helps it enter its target?

WEBELOS DEN LEADER:Speed.

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: In order to be effective the archer and the arrow

Must have be all of these things

The Archer must practice and practice

The Arrow pointed in the right direction

The Arrow must be straight and true,

The Arrow needs guidance and stability,

The Arrow must be fast and sharp.

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: This arrow just like these boys. Through Scouting, these boys will be pointed in the right direction. On their trail, to the Eagle rank, they will have time to practice many skills. These boy scouts must be straight and true to succeed in their journey to their goal. The boys receive guidance and stability from good leaders, a scouting program that is designed to help them move quickly through the ranks of achievement. Let's not forget these boy's family's that provides the support to propel each onward. Sharp attention is required to make it to the Arrow of Light rank.

AWARDS CHAIRMAN: With the force of his family and Scouting, each of these boys can reach his goal. His goal of course is The Eagle Scout Rank - and on to horrible Manhood.
