Cub Scouting Here We Come
CRAFTS
Cub Scout Promise
Plaque
North Florida Council
Using craft sticks, tongue depressors, have the boys
write the Cub Scout Promise. Allow 10 - 15 sticks per boy as their
writing will be large at this stage and may only be able to get on
word on each stick. Using a nail or a drill, make small holes
through the end of the sticks and connect them in the appropriate
order with yarn or twine.
Den Flag
North Florida
Council
The boys may want to create a new den flag for their
new start in Cubs. They can also make a neckerchief slide for the
wolf neckerchief they will need. For the den flag slide, use a small
piece of wood, or construction paper. A craft stick can be used as a
flagpole. The boys can decorate it with their den number. The slide
can be made by a pipe cleaner, tightly looped to the back of the
flag.
Cub Scout Neckerchief
Slide
North Florida Council
The head is made from a small Styrofoam ball or wood
bead. Paint a face on it. A hat can be painted on or made out of
construction paper. Insert a pipe cleaner in the head to form the
neck. Twist another pipe cleaner around it for arms. The uniform
shirt can be made from blue felt. The neckerchief is yellow pipe
cleaner or yarn twisted around the neck. Use another pipe cleaner
looped tightly for the slide part. This is glued to the
head.
Tiger Cub Graduation
Dimming Campfire
North Florida Council
Equipment: Electric campfire with dimmer
switch that can be operated unseen by adults. Start the ceremony off
with the "Fire" dim.
CM: Tonight we have gathered at the
ceremonial campfire to hear an ancient tale. It was once believed
that a campfire had magic. Of course it cooks our food, lights our
way and wards off animals, but the magic of the Pack campfire is
that it can light up our future! But only when we approach it after
making a great accomplishment.
Will (read Tiger's names) and their partners please
stand by their chairs? See how the fire burns only dimly when there
are no advancing Tigers nearby? Now please come forward and join me
at the fireside. See how it has begun to grow brighter
now!
The fire tells us that you have completed all the
requirements for your Tiger rank. You have worked hard to be worthy
of this great honor, so the fire has given us a sign that you will
continue to find great joy and success in Cub Scouting. You will
soon be on your way to earning the next rank in Scouting. The fire
tells us so! I present this Tiger Cub patch to your partner to
present to you. Congratulations! I now dismiss you to your seat, and
watch the fire as you leave its side.
Tiger Cub Graduation
North
Florida Council
The Cubmaster calls the Tiger Cubs and their
partners to the front.
CM: Tigers please repeat after me you Tiger
Cub Promise. "I promise to love God, my family, and my country,
and to learn about the world.
Tiger Cubs, we are very happy to welcome you and
your parents into our pack. I'm sure that you learned much and had
fun. I can promise that you'll have even more fun as Cub Scouts. As
your first act as a new Cub Scout, I'm going to ask you to repeat
after me the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack.
(Have the
boys repeat each line of the Promise and the Law after the
Cubmaster)
I am proud to award your Tiger Cub patch for your new
Cub Scout uniform. Will you share your den yell with the pack to
honor this occasion.
