CM These Cubs like Cub Scouts all around the world, have worked together and developed new interests which make them better citizens of our country and of the world. Let’s give them a final cheer to show how proud we are of them. Cub Scout Spirit Heart of America Council Personnel: Cubmaster (CM), Assistant Cubmaster (CA) Setting: A world globe on the head table, candles placed around the globe (one for each rank to be presented). Room darkened except for one candle held by the Assistant Cubmaster CA: We read in the newspaper everyday about wars, nation against nation in all parts of our world. Television shows us daily pictures of bombings, buildings destroyed, people killed, a dark and not very pleasant picture and certainly not what each of us wants for ourselves or our children. CM: Scouting is one thing that helps to bring people together, because its ideals and goals are the same everywhere. We tend to think of Cub Scouting as just our pack, our dens, and our friends. But, there are Cub Scouts like us in almost every country in the world — we are just a small part of this wonderful organization. Our Assistant Cubmaster, (name) holds a candle representing the Spirit of Cub Scouting. As we present our advancement awards tonight, a Cub Scout will light a candle next to the world globe for each rank CA: First, we have ____ boys who have passed the requirements for the rank of Bobcat. (Say something about what the Scout did to earn the rank – Did his best to say the Scout Oath and Law, completed 7 Adventures including …) Will Scout (name) and his parents please come forward? (The rank patches are presented to the parents who give them to the son(s). The recipient (or one recipient) lights a candle on the table assisted by either the CA. Then the CM leads a cheer for boys who earned that rank. This is repeated for each rank to be presented.) CA: Notice how the darkness that surrounded the world (Point to globe) has gone away as the light of the Cub Scout Spirit spread around the globe. If we all continue to work on our Adventures and continue to advance in rank, we can keep the light bright and help our world to be a better place to live for everyone. CM: Lead a final cheer for all Note: You can have many variations, such as attaching rank patches on different continents with rubber cement and turn the globe as presentations are made, highlighting Scouting around the world.
