Turn On The Power

Opening Ceremony


Go-Power



Cubmaster: There are different kinds of energy sources. They are identified as the power to get things done or to work. These are called "go-power." We all use our brains to create or supply the world with products we can use daily. I will pass out some "go-power" item cards and we will use our brains to match them up with the energy sources written on the chalkboard. More than one item may be matched with an energy source.

Within My Power


I am not a very important man, as importance is commonly rated. I do not have great wealth, control a big business, or occupy a position of great honor or authority.


Yet, I may someday mold destiny. For it is within my power to become the most important man in the world in the life of a boy. And every boy is a potential atom bomb in human history.


All about me are boys. They are the makers of history, the builders of tomorrow. If I can have some part in guiding them up the trail of Scouting, on to the high road of noble character and constructive citizenship, I may prove to be the most important man in their lives, the most important man in my community.


A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove. But the world may be different, because I was important in the life of a boy.
