Imagine That

   OPENING - We Do Have Imaginations


Cub 1:Everyone can't be brilliant,

    Everyone can't be smart,

    But we do have imaginations

    And we have a great big heart!


Cub 2 :I can dam a stream with boulders,

     I can climb trees to the top,

    I can run for blocks and blocks

    And never ever stop.


Cub 3: I can't solve a chemical equation;

    I can't explain Newton's rule.

    But I can make a peanut butter sandwich,

    That will really make you drool!


Cub 4: We can do our best at home,

    We can do our best at play.

    We can treat each other fairly,

    By watching what we do and say.


Cub 5: I don't know much about flowers,

    But smelling them is a joy.

    We don't think we are failures.

    Imagine That! We're Boys!

ADVANCEMENT - WEBELOS ACTIVITY BADGE CEREMONY


EQUIPMENT: Arrow of Light board with activity candles, spirit of Scouting candle and holder, badges to be presented.

PERSONNEL: Cubmaster, Webelos den leader, den chief.


Tonight we recognize (number) members of our Webelos den that have earned activity badges since our last pack meeting. They are:__________. Will these Webelos Scouts and their parents please join us at the awards table.


Webelos Scout,_________ , you have earned your _________ .

(list each badge and give a short summary of what was done to earn it. Example: John Doe, you have earned your Naturalist badge. To do this you learned about our native plants, animals and insects. You also earned your Engineer badge by making a catapult, drawing pictures of bridges, and the floor plan of your home. )


Congratulations,________ , on learning how to live with nature, and we know that there is a very important bridge in Scouting that we hope to see you crossing in the near future. (After all awards are finished say to den chief:


Den Chief, ______, shall we light the white candle?

DEN CHIEF:  No sir!

CUBMASTER:  Why not?

DEN CHIEF:  Because the white candle stands for the Arrow of Light.

CUBMASTER:  That's correct, the white candle is for the Arrow of Light, the highest award in Cub Scouting. It must remain unlighted until we have a Webelos Scout who has earned all of his Arrow of Light requirements -- then we will light that candle. These small candles representing the activity badges are simply steps in the development of a Webelos Scout, but are important as they lead to the highest honor -- the Arrow of Light award.


Webelos den leader: Mr.______ , how about leading us in a cheer for these fine Webelos Scouts and their families.

INDUCTION -

BOBCAT INDUCTION WITH PARENT


The new Bobcats line up, their parents standing behind them. The Bobcats

give the Cub Scout sign and recite together the Promise and the Law of

the Pack! The Cubmaster says it with them but first reminds them to

speak loudly.


Then he asks all the Bobcat parents to give the Cub Scout sign and

repeat the following, one line at a time.


As a parent of a Cub Scout,

I will do my best,

To help my boy,

Live up to the Cub Scout Promise,

And to obey the Law of the Pack.


I will work with my boy,

On his achievements and projects,

I will attend the pack meetings,

And help as needed,

To make the pack go.
