Arrow Of Light

Pack, has passed all the tests necessary to continue on the Scouting trail as a Boy Scout. He has indeed "done his best".

On behalf of Scout Troops everywhere, Lord Baden Powell, the gfounder of Scouting, accepted him into Boy Scouting. By his own words, he recited and agreed to live by the Scout Oath and Law. He is ready to embark on his journey on the Trail of the Eagle.

Through the new skills and experiences soon to be learned from Lord Baden Powell and the fundamental teachings of Chief Akela, his journey on the Trail of the Eagle will not only be exciting, fun, and full of adventure, but prosperous and successful.

Congratulations. May the Spirit of Scouting be with you always. Given on this 3rd day of May, 1996, Marin Council, Boy Scouts of America. Signed by Chief Akela "Do your Best" and by Lord Baden-Powel "Be Prepared".

Lone Indian Brave: Our council fire begins to die. Let us go our separate ways and take with us the memory of this celebration until we meet again. the Council of Light is closed. May the Spirit of Scouting be with you all.

(All place their torches in the fire ring and depart in reverse order.)
