Arrow Of Light

Scouting. Over hill and dale I have carried stories of you and your experiences. As Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts, you have been happy, game, fair and a credit to your Den and Pack.

GUARD: (raises the deer antler staff) I am the East Wind. I wish you well. I have spread the story of your fun and happiness in Cub Scouting with Pack ____ and how you lived up to the Cub Scout Promise and were fair and helpful.

GUIDE: (raises the bow) I am the West Wind. I would like everyone present to know that these Webelos Scouts did not walk the Cub Scout Trail alone. Each had the

wonderful help of his parents. Parents, continue to help your boys to go and grow.

GUARD: Chief Akela, there are some among us worthy of the highest award in Cub Scouting, the Arrow of Light.

CHIEF AKELA: (tilts the feather flag towards Guard) My brother, - seek them out that are worthy of this award and bring them before our council fire.

GUARD: It shall be done Chief Akela.
