Blue And Gold Candles
ARRANGEMENT: 7 candles (1 white, 3 yellow, 3
blue) are placed on a table. 6 Cub Scouts stand behind yellow and blue
candles.
CUBMASTER: (Lights the white candle) As
I light this spirit of Cub Scouting candle, I am proud that every Cub Scout
here has promised to do his best, to do his duty to God and his country, to
help other people, and to obey the Law of the Pack. Tonight we will see many
Scouts advance in rank and truly know they have done their best. We want you
to understand what the Cub Scout colors, blue and gold, represent. (Hands
white candle to first Scout)
CUB #1: (Lights
the first yellow candle) As I light
this candle, I challenge each of you to live up to the Cub Scout promise.
Cub Scout gold stands for warm sunlight. (Hands
white candle to 2nd Scout)
CUB #2: (Lights
the second yellow candle) As I light
this candle, remember that a Cub Scout always does his best. He does it with
another meaning of gold - good cheer. A Cub Scout does not do anything
halfheartedly. (Hands white candle to
third Cub)
CUB #3: (Lights
the third yellow candle) This gold
candle represents the Law of the Pack which guides you in your life. You
should always radiate happiness, the final meaning of the Cub Scout gold. (Hands
white candle to fourth Cub)
CUB #4: (Lights
the first blue candle) The first blue
candle represents one part of the Law of the Pack, a Cub Scout follows Akela,
and the first meaning of the blue of Cub Scouting, truth. (Hands
white candle to the fifth Cub)
CUB #5: (Lights
the second blue candle) This blue
candle represents the spiritual part of Cub Scouting. Remember that a Cub
Scout helps the pack go just as the pack helps the Cub Scout grow. (Hands
white candle to the sixth Cub)
CUB #6: (Lights
the third blue candle) This blue
candle represents loyalty. Remember that a Cub Scout gives goodwill. (Returns
white candle to Cubmaster)
CUBMASTER: I congratulate each Cub Scout
continuing the steps up the Scouting trail and welcome you all to our Blue
and Gold Banquet. |
