AKELA: I am Akela the Great spirit of Scouting. Why does the Pack grow restless?

CUBMASTER: They are restless, Akela, for there are strangers in our midst.

AKELA: But whom do they seek?

CUBMASTER: They seek Akela, The Great Spirit of Scouting to become a Cub Scout.

AKELA: Then if they seek to be our brothers, they are not strangers. Are they wise in the ways of the Bobcat?

CUBMASTER: They are Akela.

AKELA: Then bring them before Akela, that he may know who they are.

At this time the ACM brings all new Cubs before Akela.

They all say the Cub Scout Promise together with the Cubmaster.

He shakes each of them with the Cub Scout Handshake.
