Opening Ceremony - Out In Space


Setting:  Four Cub Scouts are standing on stage looking up to the sky.


CUB 1: What's out in space?


CUB 2: Mostly lots and lots of space, but also billions and jillions of stars, galaxies and solar systems, planets, and moons, blazing comets and deadly rays.


CUB 3: Yeah, and sometimes even people!


A fifth Cub Scout walks out dressed in a space helmet and says those famous words of Neil Armstrong: "One small step for man.  One giant step for mankind."


CUB 4: That's what's out in space!


Let's all stand and remember the American flag flying on the moon.  Please join with us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Opening Ceremony--Blast Off Into Scouting




PERSONNEL: One den or group of eight boys


EQUIPMENT: Individual cards of the eight letters C-U-B S-C-O-U-T.  Cards are shaped to form the cone and tail of a rocket ship.  As each Cub recites his lines, he holds up his card.



CUB 1: C is for courtesy in Cub Scouting and all through life

CUB 2: U is for usefulness to our families and to others

CUB 3: B stands for bravery in thoughts and deeds

CUB 4: S stands for safety in all that we do

CUB 5: C stands for church--the one of your choice stands for outdoors and the beauty of nature

CUB 6: U is for unity--in our den, pack, school, and families--because in unity we are strong

CUB 7: T stands for truth in all things.


CUBMASTER: Now we are ready for blast off.  (With audience) 5-4-3-2-1-BLAST OFF! 

Martian Land Deed


You need a Martian Land Deed for every boy receiving an advancement award (blank sample is at the back of this section for copying). The Cubmaster also has the following on a large scroll:


PROCLAMATION

'We, of Mars, in the interest of establishing a permanent and desirable civilization, will provide a Martian Land Deed to any Earthling who can qualify for space travel and exploration by earning one or more Cub Scout badges listed on the deed. Said deed entitles the holder to one (1) acre of Martian land for every badge earned."


Cubmaster calls forward boys who have earned awards and their parents announces the badges they have earned, and makes presentation of the deed. Badges are attached to deeds.
