Bobcat Ceremony

We are getting ready to award our Scouts with Bobcat badges that they have worked very hard to earn!  Here is the Bobcat Ceremony that we will use to present our awards.  I believe the symbolism to the colors and the heart of scouting is perfect!  The face painting will also be fun for our boys!  They will certainly feel very special with their colors of honor!

Props:
Blue,, yellow,, white,, red,, green paints Bobcat badges, card and parent pins

Assistant Cub Master:
Tonight our Pack has some boys who have worked hard since joining Cub Scouts. Will the following boys (names) and their parents please come forward to take on the colors and spirit of Cub Scouting? (Parents paint their son’s face or you or Cubmaster can paint as committee member reads)

Akela (Cub Master or parent):
BLUE is from the sky. The paw print of the Bobcat on your forehead is the spirit of the Bobcat. This reminds you to do your best on the Cub Scout Trail.

YELLOW is from the sun. The marks under your eyes will help you see the light of the Cub Scout trail and they symbolize the bright spirit of Cub Scouting.

WHITE is for purity. He mark on your nose helps you know right from wrong as you go along the Cub Scout trail.

RED is for courage. The mark on your chin reminds you to always speak the truth.

GREEN stands for the spirit of nature. The marks on each cheek will guide you to live in harmony with the great outdoors.

Remember your markings of this night, new Cubs, and have fun along the Cub Scout trail.

Introduction.....A First of Many!

Are you a Cub Scouting parent who is ALWAYS searching for the perfect craft?  The funnest games?  The silliest songs?  The coolest ceremonies?  I AM THAT PARENT TOO!!

Every week while planning my Den meetings or planning special outings, I search for that one thing that jumps out and grabs me and says, "My Scouts will LOVE this".  Sometimes it's easy to find, and sometimes not so easy.  I decided to create a collection of Scouting goodies that I and my fellow Scouting parents can access easily.....and here you have it!

I would like to encourage other fellow Scouters to share their great ideas here!
