Thank You Ceremony

2 Comments

I found this ceremony in some old program helps. I thought it would go well with the Cub Scouts Give Thanks supplemental program theme for April.

Thank You Ceremony

Let the Cub Scouts prepare eight large placards, each with a large letter painted on it to match the initial letter of each verse. As each verse is recited by a Cub, the proper letter is displayed so that at the end of the eight verses, the words “Thank You” are visible to all.

Cub 1: “T- stands for teacher, ours bear the test, as a Pack – we promise ‘We’ll do our best.’ “
Cub 2: “H – is for helpful, which we try to be as each helps the other in the highest degree.”
Cub 3: “A – for advantages we all enjoy, we try to be grateful and wisely employ.”
Cub 4: “N – is for nation whose future depend, on all of us in the pack who want to be friends.”
Cub 5: “K – is for knowledge we’re going to need. We’ll work hard to gain it and hope we succeed.”
Cub 6: “Y – is for youth all over the land. God bless and keep us and steady our hand.”
Cub 7: “O – for opportunity around everyone. We”ll grasp and hold tightly until we have won.”
Cub 8: “U – stand for usefulness, we like to serve. We do what we can all praise to deserve.”

    I liked this a lot but I did change some of the wording to work better with the boys. I felt they would understand the meaning more. Here is it:

    T- stands for teacher, ours bear the test, as a Pack – we promise ‘We’ll do our best.’
    H – is for helpful, which we try to be as each helps the other in the highest degree.
    A – is for advantages we all enjoy, we try to be grateful and wisely employ.
    N – is for nation whose future depends on all of us in the pack who want to be friends.
    K – is for knowledge we’re going to need. We’ll work hard to gain it as we grow to succeed.
    Y – is for youth all over the land. God blesses us and guides our hand.
    O – for opportunity all around, a good deed to be done isn’t hard to be found.
    U – stands for usefulness as we find ways to serve. Parents can help us with this learning curve.

    This sounds great! I plan on using this to close out the boys skits at Blue and Gold followed by a big “THANK YOU PARENTS!”
