Induction Ceremony

TIGER CUB RECIPE FOR CUB SCOUTING

This ceremony may be used for welcoming Tiger Cubs and their partners into the pack at a pack picnic.

EQUIPMENT: Bobcat pin for each Tiger Cub, 3 X 5-inch card with the recipe below written on it.

Cubmaster calls forward the Tiger Cubs and their adult partners.

CUBMASTER: That was a great supper we had, wasn't it? I hope you Tiger Cubs got a chance to sample some of the dishes made by the Cub Scouts.

To cook a good dish, you have to use a recipe. If you don't you're going to have some awful eating.

We have a recipe for Cub Scouting, too. Every ingredient is important. If we don't put each ingredient in our Cub Scouting dish, the result will be as bad as a hamburger without the meat.

(Read from card).

Boys, the more the merrier.

A bucketful of games and sports.

Some crafts. We learn how to handle tools and make useful things.

A dollop of seriousness. We learn how to do our duty to God and country.

A cupful of trips and hikes. We explore the world around us, just as you Tiger Cubs have been doing.

Two barrels full of good leaders. We can't have Cub Scouting without these volunteers.

And parents, maybe the most important ingredient of all after you boys. Without the help of your parents, the pack cannot give you the best Cub Scouting. Mix all these ingredients together and you are sure to have a great time in Cub Scouting. It is a pleasure to welcome you to our pack. Now I will ask your partners to pin on your new bobcat pins.

(While partners are attaching the pins, have your song leader lead Cub Scouts and families in the "Cub Scout Welcome Song" (Cub Scout Songbook)

Have lyrics on a big poster in front of the group.)
