Candle Opening/Closing
Note:
With the room lights turned out, the Cubmaster lights a candle.
Opening
Cub Scouts, this candlelight represents the spirit of Cub Scouting, lighting our way through life.
This flame also represents danger. You have learned about the danger of fire and how to prevent it. Let's remember what we have learned so we will always use fire wisely and safely, not only as boys, but later on as men.
This light of Cub Scouting fives us warmth and good cheer. Make sure it is never allowed to run wild and destroy lives and property. Let's always be fire detectives."
Closing
Throughout our meeting this evening, this candle which represents the Spirit of Cub Scouting has burned.
Look steadily at it for a moment. Now close your eyes. The image remains with you. Open your eyes. Now we blow out the light. As the image of the light remains in our memory, so will the Spirit of Cub Scouting stay with us.
This evening of fun and Cub Scouting will not soon be forgotten.
