Graduation Of A Webelos Scout

PERSONNEL: Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Senior Patrol Leader, Webelos leader, Webelos Scout and family, 2 Bobcats, 2 Wolves, 2 Bears and 2 Webelos

EQUIPMENT: Troop scarf

ARRANGEMENT: The 8 Cubs are lined up in 2 rows of 4 facing each other in order to form a bridge for the graduation. There needs to be enough room between the two lines for the Webelos Scout and his family to pass from the left side to the right. On the left side of the stage is the Cubmaster and the Webelos den leader and on the right side of the boy bridge is the Scoutmaster and the Senior Patrol Leader.

CUBMASTER: Tonight we mark a great occasion, the graduation of Webelos Scout (name) from our pack. (Call the Webelos Scout and his family forward.) We are sad to see him leave because he has been a great help to our pack... but we are happy for him because he is going on to the great adventure of Scouting. He has worked hard for this night and has advanced well. You have successfully obtained the ranks of Bobcat, Wolf, Bear and Webelos. To top off your Cub Scout career, you have earned the Arrow of Light. You and your family have participated in pinewood derbies, rain gutter regatta, den meetings, pack meetings and outdoor camping experiences. You also were able to attend Cub Day Camp and Webelos Camp. You and your family will have many memories to take with you. I am pleased to see that you are wearing the Arrow of Light, the highest award in Cub Scouting. This is the only Cub Scout badge which you will be permitted to wear on your Scout uniform. And now you and your family may take the final Cub Scouting steps. This bridge that connects Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting is made up of an honor guard of Cub Scouts who in time will be following in your steps along the Scouting Trail. (The Webelos Scout and his family walk to the right side of the stage to the Scoutmaster.)
