This can be used as an opening or a skit. Each of 12 Cubs
(or adults) holds a candle, which is lighted as he gives his
message. The room lights are turned off.

and care about him. They want him to grow up to be

an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation.

Cub # 3: Cub Scouting Is A Den Leader, who opens their
home and heart to this boy and 5, 6 or 7 others just

rather than individually, and learn to share the
limelight with others.

boy respect for God and country. He learns his moral
obligation to himself and his fellow man.

Cub # 11: Cub Scouting Is A Challenge, to all who become
involved - a challenge to live up to high ideals, bring
forth creative ideas, express yourself. It is also a
challenge to learn to accept the ideas of others who
may not agree with you and learn to compromise and
work out differences.

Cub # 12: Cub Scouting Is Achieving, by boys and parents,
as they work together in advancement in the boy's
book. Leaders achieve as they carry out the den and
pack programs successfully.

Emcee: As you can see, Cub Scouting is many things -
each one important and shining forth in its own way.
If we keep all these lights burning brightly in our
pack, our radiance will be seen by many people.
THIS IS CUB SCOUTING! (Pause - the lights on,
candles are blown out, and readers exit.)
