Arrow Of Light

SEVEN POINTS

1. Wisdom does not necessarily mean superior knowledge. It means putting to the right use the knowledge that one possesses.

2. Courage is not the quality that enables men to meet danger without fear, it is being able to meet danger in spite of one's fear.

3. Self-control isn't limited to the control of one's temper, but control of one's self in all things: eating, playing, and even working and talking.

4. Justice is the practice of dealing fairly with others without prejudice or regard to race, color, or creed.

5. Faith is the conviction that something unproved by physical evidence is true. One 8 year old Cub Scout said faith was when you turned the light switch, you knew the light would go on.

6. Hope means to expect with confidence. Always hope for better things to come. A man without hope is of little good to himself or his community.

7. Love - There are many kinds of love -love of family, love of home, love of fellow man, love of God, and love of country. All these loves are necessary for a full life.

The Boy Scouts of America, with its over five million members, is a very strong

program. However, even with a strong program, the boys wouldn't get very far without the continued support of mom and dad. At this time would the parents of these Webelos please come forward and stand behind their sons?

It is my pleasure to present you with the Arrow of Light, which you may wear on the flap of your left shirt pocket of your Webelos Scout uniform. Because your parents came up through the ranks of Cub Scouting with you, I shall present the award to them and ask them in turn to present it to you.

You have spent the last two years learning what it takes to become a Boy Scout. A good Boy Scout does not need to be remind to do a good turn each day, thus I ask that your Arrow of Light patches be put on proper side up.

As a token of your accomplishments and representative of your advancement through the Cub Scout rank from Bobcat to Arrow of Light, Pack ______ presents this commemorative arrow to each of you.

Now, may I congratulate you for the fine work you have done in Cub Scouting and

extend the best wishes of the entire Pack to you and your parents as you continue up the Scout trail into Scouting.
