ADVANCEMENT - TWENTY-FIVE CENT QUESTION SHOW PERSONNEL: Cubmaster EQUIPMENT: Awards SETTING: For this ceremony, you will want to coach the boys who will be receiving awards so that they properly react to the questions when asked. Some questions they will purposely miss. Cubmaster or advancement person should use a quiz show host manner in delivering this ceremony. This can be a lot of fun for all if you make it that way. CUBMASTER: Welcome folks, to the Twenty-five Cent Question Show, brought to you live tonight right from ______school where we are attending a pack meeting. I want to thank this nice pack for allowing us to test their "genius" Cub Scouts on our show, and we want to thank our sponsor, Handy Dandy Cream, the everything cream. Use it to keep your hands soft, brush your teeth, set your hair, get rid of athlete's foot, and squirt it right on your favorite pudding. Yes sir, Handy Dandy Cream, you'll want to rush right out and get some. Now back to our show. We have a team of boys here who are ready to challenge our show in the category of Cub Scouting. Will the following boys on the first team come forward with their parents. (Calls name of Bobcat recipients.) Now boys, for the first plateau, you may confer if you like and then give us your answer. Now boys, what is the Cub Scout motto? Bobcats: (Bobcats can act like they are conferring and then shout together) Do your best! CUBMASTER: You're absolutely right. Congratulations, you have just arrived at the first plateau and you have won the Bobcat badge, the first rank in Cub Scouting. We will present this to you parents to be presented to you. (present badges) Now, on to the second plateau. Our second question for the Wolf badge. Can you tell me, how many achievements must you pass to earn the Wolf badge? (Bobcats confer but give up without answering.) CUBMASTER: Sorry, boys the time is up. You may sit down and let's bring up our second team who, on a previous show won the Bobcat and are now ready to try for the second plateau of Wolf. (Call the names of boys who have earned the Wolf badge, ask the parent to come forward also.) Now boys, can you answer the second plateau question for your Wolf badge. How many achievements must you pass to qualify for your Wolf badge? Wolves: (Wolves confer and shout) 12. CUBMASTER: Congratulations! You have just won your Wolf badge. (Present badges to parents who then pin on boys.) (Go on in this manner until you have awarded all of your advancements for the month, making the Arrow of Light the "Twenty-five Cent" question and you may even give those boys a quarter.) |
