I PROMISE TO WORK WITH MY BOY

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Certificate of Graduation, Tiger Cub one year pin.

PERSONNEL: Tiger Cub organizer, narrator, Cubmaster, Graduating Tiger Cubs and their partners.

(Tiger Cub organizer escorts boys and partners to ceremonial area.)

NARRATOR: Today these Tiger Cubs and their partners are taking their first big step on the Cub Scouting trail. Will the Tiger Cub organizer please present the Tigers and their partners. (Organizer gives each boy's and partner's name.)

NARRATOR: As Tiger Cubs, you searched, discovered, and shared. Now as Cub Scouts you will be facing new challenges, learning new skills and striving to become better citizens. Your partners' role will be changing, too, but its importance will not. We ask you partners to continue to support your boy by helping him and our Pack, perhaps as a leader.

CUBMASTER: Welcome to our Pack. Now we ask you to join me in giving the Cub Scout promise. (Use repeat-after-me method.)

Now, partners, we ask you to raise your right hands and repeat the Cub Scout parents' promise. Please repeat after me:

I promise to work with my boy

And to support him

As he strives to advance in Cub Scouting.

I will work with him and will do my best

To help the Pack grow for all the boys.

I will accept responsibility within the Pack

To ensure a strong program.

Give partners the certificates and one year pins to present to their boys. Ask audience to sing "Cub Scout Welcome Song" (Cub Scout Songbook).
