Physical Fitness
Cubmaster can dress for a favorite
sport to give out the awards. Props can be used for the various ranks to
illustrate training.
Just as adults must train to be good
athletes, our Cub Scouts must also grow in strength and ability to
obtain their ranks.
For a boy to earn his Wolf rank he
must increase in ability by practice and working with his muscle's, just
like a weight lifter must train to get in condition. Tonight we have
(names) who have gotten in shape to obtain their Wolf rank.
Those who have continued their
training and increased their Ability have built up real muscles. Just as
the runner receives his blue ribbon for excellence, the Bear advances on
the track toward the championship. (Call names.)
After several years of practice tasks
are easier because of self-discipline. The rewards are greater, too.
Let's welcome the new champions of our pack, the Webelos. (Call names.)
During our advancement ceremony
tonight we have seen that Cub Scouts increase in ability just as muscle
builders and other athletes do. Let's give them all a round of applause
for their hard word. Keep it up! |

Physically Fit
PERSONNEL: Cubmaster
EQUIPMENT: Sports articles, pictures,
etc.. Posters displaying health, physical fitness, and proper eating,
awards for boys.
ARRANGEMENT: Cubmaster in front of
audience
CUBMASTER: Look at these (pictures,
posters, articles, etc.). These people have made it by being physically
fit. They work out. They get the proper amount of rest. They eat the
proper balanced meals. It is nothing they have done overnight. It takes
a long time to get in the shape that these people are in.
Cub Scouting is a program for boys in
the first grade through the fifth grade. It takes time to advance in
rank. The time includes the completion of achievements in the respective
book. As Cub Scouts advance in rank, they learn about physical fitness,
health habits, and proper healthy eating.
Tonight we will recognize some Cub
Scouts who have advanced in rank. Will the following Cub Scouts and
their parents come forward. (The badges can be attached to a circular
piece of paper of some sort of medallion. Present the badges as Olympic
winners are presented their medals. Olympic music could be used for
added effect.) |

Knocks And Scratches
(Have the boys on stage wearing
cardboard feet which have scratches, cuts, band-aids, etc. on them.)
CUB 1: Our Toughen Up meeting
has come to an end.
CUB 2: We now have a message to
leave with you, dear friend.
CUB 3: Our many achievements in
life make feet tired and weary.
CUB 4: But if there was nothing
to do, our life would be dreary.
CUB 5: So forget the knocks and
scratches, blisters and aches.
CUB 6: Do your best at all
times. That's what success takes!
(As the poem is finished, boys lay
down on stage with their cardboard feet facing the audience...each of
the feet has a letter on it spelling out G-O-O-D-N-I-G-H-T). |
