Scouting's Bottom Line

Have Scout and Parent come forward to receive Bobcat and Wolf badge

What happens to a Scout? For every 100 boys who join Scouting, records indicate that:

Cubmaster:

• Rarely will one be brought before the juvenile court system
• Two will become Eagle Scouts
• Seventeen will become future Scout volunteers
• Twelve will have their first contact with a church
• One will enter the clergy
• Five will earn their church award
• Eighteen will develop a hobby that will last through their adult life
• Eight will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit badge system
• One will use his Scouting skills to save his own life
• One will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another person

With that I present to you your Bob cat Badge as your journey begins in Cub Scouts.

Scouting's alumni record is equally impressive. A recent nation-wide survey of high schools revealed the following information:

• 85% of student council presidents were Scouts
• 89% of senior class presidents were Scouts
• 80% of junior class presidents were Scouts
• 75% of school publication editors were Scouts
• 71% of football captains were Scouts

With that I present to you your Wolf Badge as your journey continues with Cub Scouts and you as Scouts continue to grow and learn continuing onto the Path of the Bear

• 68% of West Point graduates
• 70% of Annapolis graduates
• 72% of Rhodes Scholars
• 85% of FBI agents
• 26 of the first 29 astronauts

The Wolves badge has been awarded, with this allowing the Scouts to receive their Arrows showing their accomplishments through out the year as they worked on their requirements.

The Wolf badge must be earned first before any arrow points are awarded. A gold arrow point is awarded for the first 10 achievements or electives over the Wolf requirements. A silver arrow point is awarded for each additional 10 tasks completed. Since all arrow points are awarded after the Wolf badge is awarded.

Presents arrows to each Scout:

These young men have shown the truth of the old saying that ninety percent of success is perspiration. They have worked long and hard, some as long as two years, to achieve their goal. What they accomplished was not a better boy, but something far more valuable to the world today, better young men. In recognition of this achievement, we present them with their awards that are so highly thought of.

I want to congratulate all of you and your parents. The whole Pack is proud of your accomplishments and we're sure you will continue to Do Your Best.

Do Your Best

One of the most important things to learn in life is to put forth your best effort when doing something. That is why we have the Cub Scout motto. As a member of this Pack, I hope you will put forth your best effort for the good of the Pack and for your own good.
