Cubmaster: Cub Scouts, Parents, and Leaders, we are here tonight to honor No. of our Webelos Scouts, who are to come before this Pack to be presented with the highest award in the Cub Scout program, the Arrow of Light.
Akela: Akela was the Big Chief of the Webelos tribe; tall, stalwart, straight as an arrow, swift as an antelope, brave as a lion. He was fierce to an enemy but kind to a brother. Many trophies hung in his teepee. His father was the son of the great yellow sun in the sky. His totem was the Arrow of Light.
Cubmaster: Will the following Webelos Scouts please come forward.
(Cubmaster is standing behind the Arrow of Lightboard and boys will be facing him)notes
Cubmaster: The emblem you see before you represents the Arrow of Light. The seven candles represent the rays in the Arrow of Light. These candles also represent the Seven Virtues of Life.
(Cubmaster then lights each of the candles one at a time and says):
1. This candle represents Wisdom
2. This candle represents Courage
3. This candle represents Self-Control
4. This candle represents Justice
5. This candle represents Faith
6. This candle represents Hope
7. This candle represents Love.
Akela: And the largest candle of them all represents the "Spirit of Akela"
(He then lights the candle)
Cubmaster: If you live by the seven great virtues and the "Spirit of Akela" you will become a happy man and a happy man is a successful man.
(At this time the boys turn and face the audience so parents will be facing the audience too)
Will the parents of these Webelos Scouts please come and stand behind your son.
Present the leader with the Arrow of Light to give to the Webelos.

The InsaneScouter “Download Service” is available to anyone with a membership account. Through this service, you will be able to download almost 10 gigs (over 10 thousand files) relating to Scouting. These files include pow-wow books, clipart, media/audio files, paintings, demo software, and the CDs that InsaneScouter used to sell. To access this vast collection you will need an FTP client such as Filezilla and a membership account.
You may also upload files to the “upload folder”, however they will only be moved into the main collection if it is not a duplicated item, and we feel it is an appropriate item. I would like to ask that you let us know if you upload something, otherwise it may be days or weeks before we notice.

Q: What is Flat Stanley all about
A: The original Stanley was started by a London School teacher in 1995 as a way for his students to meet others from far away places while learning about those places.
Stanley was flattened by a falling bulletin board, but he survives and starts making the best of his flattened state. Soon he is sliding into rooms through the hole at the bottom of doors, even once he helps catch some thefts in an art museum by posing as a painting on the wall. (based on details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Stanley).
Stanley found his way to InsaneScouter where we used modern science to scan his unique genetic make up into the computer. Now Stanley travels the world in a matter of seconds and his adventures can be followed right here.
Q: I am still confused...
A: Think about it this way .... it is just a virtual pen pal system that uses the adventures of the virtual Stanley image to make it fun and educational. The idea is you have the group, class, and family print out the Stanley image and then do something with him. Take pictures of Stanley doing these things and write about it. Post those pictures and writings here. Another group will see what you did and pick up where you left off, adding to Stanley's adventure. Then you take the additions back to your group. Maybe you can get your Stanley to see the world in 80 days, or backpack an entire country in just a year. Don't forget to take this opportunity to make new friends and to learn about other cultures.
Q: How do I start using your virtual Stanley
A: Just follow these simple steps
- Register for a free members account. ( You can register here.)
- Log in InsaneScouter (click on the login link top right in the brown bar. Once you log in it will say your username is logged in.)
- Then make sure you are in the Stanley section of the site and you will see the control box toward the top right. You will now need to click manage and fill in the form. You will only need to do this once.
- Next click on an adventure you would like to add to or you can start a new adventure
- Finally, post details and photos of the adventure
- Have fun, make friends, and learn about other countries and cultures
