Personnel: Cubmaster, Cub Scouts (enough to make a  circle around the pool)

Equipment: Small wading pool filled with water, 1 Pool candle meant for floating (purchase at a pool supply store)

Setting: Make a circle around the wading pool

Cubmaster:  Have you ever taken pebbles and thrown them in a quiet stream or lake?  If you have, you probably noticed that each wave started by each pebble was influenced by the waves started by other pebbles.  Through the ideals of Scouting, the things we do, the friends we make, we can have great influence for good on those with whom we associate.

(Cubmaster carefully lights a candle and gently places it in the pool.  He lets everyone stand silent for a minute or two then leads them in the Cub Scout Benediction)

May the guiding light of Akela,
The Spirit of Cub Scouting,
Be with you and me,
Until we meet again.
