Arrow Of Light

WHEN YOU FIRST BECAME A CUB SCOUT

Cubmaster asks Cub Scouts who have completed their Webelos requirements to come forward with their parents. The boys stand facing the audience, their parents stand directly behind them. Now the lights are dimmed and a large Webelos emblem is illuminated. (This one might consist of a light bulb mounted in a wooden box with a cut-out of the Arrow of Light emblem on the front of it. White tissue paper covers the cut out portion on the inside.)

CUBMASTER: You have reached the highest rank on cubbing and will soon be 11 years of age. You have visited the Boy Scout troop of your choice and talked with the Scoutmaster.

When you first became a Cub Scout, you learned that the inner meaning of Webelos was "We'll be Loyal... loyal to home, loyal to country, loyal to God. We'll be Loyal Scouts.

It is through these three ranks, Bobcat, Wolf, and Bear that you have progressed as a Cub Scout, and it is into Scouting that you are now about to enter.

You were guided in your progress through these ranks by the Arrow Of Light... (Cubmaster points to it). Let this Arrow of Light continue to light your way as you move onward and upward along the Scouting trail.

It is now my pleasure to present to you the Arrow of Light, which you may wear on your Cub Scout uniform now and your Boy Scout uniform later. Because your fathers and mothers came through the ranks of Cub Scouting with you, I shall present the badge to them and ask them, in turn, to present the badge to you. (pause while this is carried out).

First, may I congratulate all of 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 for good luck along the Scouting trail.
