Bridge Into Cub Scouts

Tiger Cub Coordinator: (Call Tigers forward by name and their parent)

As a group, you have taken part in Big Ideas together and now the time has come for you to go forth and seek new adventures through Cub Scouting.

Would all Tigers and parents repeat the Tiger Cub Promise after me:

I promise to love God, my family, and my country
And to learn about the world.

Akela! I present to you these Tiger Cubs and their parent; who have participated in the Big Ideas Program and are ready to broaden their minds through the Cub Scouting Program.

Cubmaster: Tiger Cubs, we are happy to welcome you and your parents across the bridge into Cub Scouting and Pack [number]. (Boys and parents cross the bridge with a parent following his son)

I'm sure you have had a lot of fun as Tiger Cubs and in recognition of your work, I present you with your Tiger Graduation certificate and badge. I would also like to present the Tiger parent pin, which you may now present to your parent.

As a Cub Scout, I promise you will have even more fun than as a Tiger. As your first act as Cub Scouts, I'm going to ask you to repeat after me the Cub Scout Promise and the Law of the Pack. (Show them the Cub Scout Sign and read each line, waiting for them to repeat the line before continuing.)

Cub Scout Promise
I ________, promise to do my best,
To do my duty,
To God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack

Law of the Pack
The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the Pack go.
The Pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill.

Turning to our new Cub Scout Parents, your son will need you to continue to assist him along the Cub Scout Trail. If you are willing to accept these responsibilities, signify by saying "I will."

Please place your left hand on your son's shoulder, and give the Cub Scout sign with your right hand and repeat after me:

Parent Promise
I ______ promise to do my best
To help my son to be a good Cub Scout
To encourage him to fulfill the Cub Scout Promise and obey the Law of the Pack.
To assist him in his Cub Scout achievements and electives,
To cooperate with the Den Leader, Cubmaster, and Pack Committee members, and
To participate actively in Cub Scouting.

On behalf of Pack [number], I'd like to welcome our newest Cub Scouts and their parents. (All Clap)
