PERSONNEL: Committee chairman

EQUIPMENT: Table with appropriate recognition

SETTING: The committee chairman is in front of room facing the audience

COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: Cub Scouts are taught that Akela means a good leader. They are instructed to honor Akela by listening to him and following him.

Our Akela is our Cubmaster and much can be learned by listening to this man's ideas and following his example of service. He is enthusiastic but tempers his enthusiasm by using as his guideline the thought, "What is best for the boys?" He is idealistic... believing in reverence and patriotism... and tries to set the example for these ideals with the Cubs in our pack. He gives much of his time and of his energy to ensure the pack's program appeals to young boys, satisfies their needs and follows the policies of the Boy Scouts of America.

We want to honor our Akela tonight and thank him for his guidance and inspiration. (Call Cubmaster forward and present him with appropriate item of recognition. At this time, his assistants can be called forward and recognized.)
