Hi I’m Sean and I like to take part in ceremonies especially ones that connect with others, nature and the community around me. It is nice to run a special ceremony for the Cub Scouts leaving. We can say tell stories and say goodbye!
Plan
• Plan the moving-on ceremony.
• Plan the location. In your den or maybe outside. Sean, from the Atlantic Six, likes outdoor activities, he’d suggest by a river, or in a park, or on a hilltop.
• Decide whether you are inviting parents. If you are, then ask your scouters if it's possible to have teas/coffee and biscuits to serve them.
• Ask your Cub Scouters to invite a member of the Scout section to be a part of the ceremony. They can officially welcome the Cubs moving up into the Scout Troop.
• Come up with a way to share your memories during the ceremony, like a poem, a song or a skit.
• Ask the Scouters to prepare a speech Do
• Set out the room or area for the ceremony and also tea/coffee and food if needed.
• Start the ceremony with a Cub Scout Promise.
• Invite Group leader and/or Cub section leader to say a few words.
• Sixes can perform, recite or show their memories and say goodbye.
• Section leader then calls each cub moving up to scouts to come and get their link badge, shakes their hand and wishes them well on their trail..
• Cub makes his way over to the Scout section leader to become a new Scout.
• Time for tea!
