Miscellaneous Ceremony

OPENING - AWARDS - CLOSE

Try tying the opening, awards, and closing ceremonies together. Why have the meeting room seating arranged like the seating on a giant air liner.

For a pre-opening activity, have everyone coming issued a ticket. The opening is a call, announcing Cub Scout Air Lines flight number (your pack number) is ready for boarding. People board, (Cub Scout flight attendants check tickets) and all are seated and fasten their seat belts.

The Captain (Cubmaster) announces the destinations of this flight and wishes all a pleasant trip. Aircraft takes off, flies all around the United States, landing at various cities to see a skit by that nationally famous Den (#), or to sing a song led by the Den(#) singers.

For awards, the airplane lands at various places to see famous people (brand new Wolf Cub scout), takes off and lands somewhere else to see a Cub Scout who is receiving arrow points. The Captain might present each boy earning an award with some silver pilot's wings (cardboard cutouts covered the aluminum foil) with his award.

At the end of the round trip flight, the aircraft returns home. Pilot announces that he was pleased to have all on the trip with him (that was the close). The folks disembark and go home.
