This Is My Flag

Cubmaster:
This is my flag, the flag of the United States of America, home of liberty, land of opportunity, where men of all races, creeds live in peace and friendship together.

Leader 1:
(Turns red light on flag) The red of my flag is the lifeblood of brave men ready to die or worthily live for this, our country.

Leader 2:
(Turns white light on flag) The white of my flag is for purity, cleanliness of purpose, thought and deed.

Leader 3:
(Turns blue light on flag) The blue of my flag 1. for faith and loyalty, like the eternal blue of the star-filled heavens.

The Cub Scout promises to "Do hip duty to his country." Ours is different in many ways from other countries. We would like to review for you some of the things that are different but which make this the greatest country in the world.

First Cub:
We call it the United States, and we're bound together by our Constitution end our language, yet in many ways we're a group of separate kingdoms.

Second Cub:
We practice more than 25O different religions and observe thousands of different hunting laws, tax laws and labor laws.

Third Cub:
Our land grows, palm trees and pines; redwoods and beach plum; vanishing key deer and whooping cranes.

Fourth Cub:
We catch shrimp and sell stocks; live in lean-tos, skyscrapers, and stucco bungalows.

Fifth Cub:
Our people say "you all" and "youse.

Sixth Cub:
We are a very diverse land, bur these are some of the things that make the United States great.

Seventh Cub:
Will everyone stand and join with us in the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag?
