Tonight our Pack has some boys who have worked hard since joining Cub Scouts. Will the
following boys (names) and their parents please come forward to take on the colors and
spirit of Cub Scouting? (Parents paint their son’s face or you or Cubmaster can paint
as committee member reads)
Akela:
BLUE is from the sky. The paw print of the Bobcat on your forehead is the spirit of
the Bobcat. This reminds you to do your best on the Cub Scout Trail.
YELLOW is from the sun. The marks under your eyes will help you see the light of the Cub Scout trail and they symbolize the bright spirit of Cub Scouting.
WHITE is for purity. He mark on your nose helps you know right from wrong as you go along the Cub Scout trail.
RED is for courage. The mark on your chin reminds you to always speak the truth.
GREEN stands for the spirit of nature. The marks on each cheek will guide you to live in harmony with the great outdoors.
Remember your markings of this night, new Cubs, and have fun along the Cub Scout trail.
