CHAIRMAN: They are here, Akela.

OLD AKELA: Have they selected a new chief?

CHAIRMAN: They have, and he is here. (The new Cubmaster is brought before the old chief).

OLD AKELA: You have been chosen to be the new chief of the tribe of the Webelos. Will you be loyal to the trust that has been placed in you by the committee, Cub Scouts, and parents?

NEW CUBMASTER: I will be loyal.
