TIGER CUBS
This
month I will be opening up Tigers with ideas for Tiger Cub Achievement #1, Making My
Family Special. The Tiger Cub Handbook is filled with some great ideas on
the Adult Partner and Tiger working together. Let's get started with Tiger Cub Achievement #1:
Flag Ceremony #1
Heart of America Council
The Cubmaster or Group Leader goes to the front
of the room and says, “Will the honor guard please come forward?” The Tigers
march to the front and stand before the flag.
Together they salute, and then turn to the
audience and say, “We are Americans and we’re proud of it!”
First boy says, “If you’re proud to be an
American, please stand and say, “I’m proud to be an American.”
Second boy says, “Hand salute. Pledge of
Allegiance repeat.”
Third boy says, “Two” after pledge is completed
and then says, “Honor guard retire.”
The boys march off the same way they entered.
Tiger Cub Candle Light
Induction Ceremony
Heart of America Council
Personnel: Cubmaster, Committee
Chairman, Den Chief, Tiger Cubs
Equipment: Table, large Cub Emblem,
Three Candles
Setting: Tiger Cubs wait outside room
with Den Chief. Table is placed at front of room holding large Cub emblem and
three candles. The room is in darkness. When all is ready, the Den Chief
knocks on the door from the outside. CM and CC stand behind the table.
CM:
Who wishes to enter this meeting room?
DC:
Den Chief (name) with Tiger Cubs to
join this pack.
CM:
What are the names of the Tiger Cubs?
DC:
(names the Tiger Cubs)
CM:
Bring the Tiger Cubs inside.
(DC
brings Tiger Cubs into room and leads them to front of table. He then takes
his seat in the audience.)
CM:
(To Tiger Cubs) you have entered from the darkness of the outer world to the
light symbolizing Scouting. This candle (he lights one) stands for the Spirit
of Scouting. There are many benefits to be gained from belonging to Cub
Scouting. You will learn a great deal, you will have a chance to help others,
you will be rewarded for your efforts, and you will have a lot of fun. The
Cub Scout Promise is the basic principle of Cub Scouting. Will you repeat it
with me please. (Light candle representing Promise.)
(CM
gives Cub sign and begins Promise,
Tiger
Cubs join in with him.)
CC:
Just as the Cub Scout Promise is the
basic principle of Cub Scouting, the Law of the Pack is the fundamental rule
governing Cub Scouting. Please give the Cub Scout sign and repeat the Law of
the Pack with me. (CC gives sign and leads boys in repeating Law of the
Pack.)
CM:
Remember well the Promise and Law of
the Pack and use them as your guide for personal conduct in the years to
come. And now we ask the parents of these Tiger Cubs come forward to receive
the patches and certificates for their sons. (Parents come forward and stand
behind their son.) (CM presents the Tiger Cub patches and certificates to
parents, who in turn present them to their sons.) Parents play an important
role in Cub Scouting. You will work with your sons on their achievements and
electives. You will find that you will learn as well as your sons, and in
having fun with him will become a closer family.
(To
boys.) Congratulations! And good Cub
Scouting to you all. (Salutes.)
