INTRODUCTION: Tonight we have a
feast to beat all feasts! Come sit at table with me while we dine
on the finest of Cub Grub.
We start with the appetizer--the
first course of our meal. And for tonight's appetizer the menu
calls for Bobcat tidbits. "What are these?" you
ask. Why they are the small, but important bits and pieces of the
Cub Scout program that every Cub Scout must learn as part of being a Cub
Scout.
(BOBCAT)
Tonight we are proud to serve Bobcat
Tidbit Badges to the following Cub(s). [List names of Bobcat
recipients and call them with their parents to the front of the
room.]
As is the tradition in our Pack, it
is not the Awards Chairperson or the Cubmaster who gives the boys their
badges, but the parents who have been working hand-in-hand with the boys
to complete their requirements. [Hand parents the awards to
present to the boys and congratulate them with the Cub Scout
handshake. Offer an applause and ask them to take their seats.]
Next on the menu is our salad.
And tonight, as a special treat, we are dishing out Wolf Cub
Salad. Greens, as you know, contain the vitamins that help our
bodies grow. And what better salad is there than Wolf Cub
Salad--full of the vitamins that build our second graders into bigger,
better Cub Scouts.
(WOLF)
[List names and invite them with
their parents to come forward.]
[Hand out badges to parents to give
to the boys. Congratulate them and offer a suitable
applause. Have them sit down.]
Our next course, of course, is a
finely prepared Bear Borscht. This is a finely prepared soup that
is the perfect blend of God, Country, Family and Self. (BEAR)
And tonight we congratulate the
following Cub(s) for having completed their requirements in these four
areas. [List off Bear candidate names and invite them and their parents
to the front of the room.]
[Hand parents the awards to present
to the boys and congratulate them. Offer an applause and ask them
to take their seats.]
What about the main entrée?
Well the menu for tonight's feast is a hardy helping of Webelos
Wellington. The recipe for this wonderful dish includes three
heaping measures of Activity Badges (one of which is Physical Fitness),
practicing the Boy Scout Law and Promise, and knowing other parts of
becoming a Boy Scouts. This morsel is only served as "well
done." (WEBELOS)
And tonight, we recognize the
following Webelos whose jobs have been completed and well done.
[List names and invite them with their parents to come forward.]
[Hand parents the awards to present
to the boys and congratulate them. Offer an applause and ask them
to take their seats.]
Dessert for a feast such as this can
only be one thing--not just the cake, but the icing on the cake.
And tonight we recognize those Webelos Scouts who are just that--the
crème de la crème. These Scouts have persevered. They have
worked very hard, and have earned the highest award offered to a Cub
Scout--the Arrow of Light. This is
the dessert of Cub Scouting.
(ARROW OF LIGHT)
[List names and invite them with
their parents to come forward.]
[Hand boys the parent's Arrow of
Light pins to present to their parents. Then give parents the
awards to present to the boys and congratulate them. Offer an
applause and ask them to take their seats.] |
