Scouting History Opening Ceremony

Cubmaster: Robert Baden-Powell, a British hero, started Scouting
in England. He developed Scouting as an outdoor program for boys
with ideals built-in. It was a way of thinking, a way of living, a way
of doing things. Today, Scouting is still a program filled with fun
and adventure. Men who earned badges as Scouts have served on the
Supreme Court, in the United States House of Representatives, and in
the United States Senate. The late President John F. Kennedy was the
first president who had been a Boy Scout. Former President Gerald
Ford is an Eagle Scout. Many of our astronauts were Scouts. More
and more men, trained as Scouts, are taking their places in today’s
world. Please stand with me and repeat the Cub Scout Promise.
