Scout Oath Ceremony This informal Scout Oath ceremony takes place in the meeting room by the light of three candles, representing the three parts ofthe Scout Oath. Roll is called by the scribe; each boy stands, answers the roll call, gives his rank, and sits down. All stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, led by the Scoutmaster. Scoutmaster then makes brief comments on the significance of the parts of the Scout Oath, while referring to their visible symbols, the lighted candles. Candidates' names are called and the prospective Scouts step forward. The troop stands and the candidates face them. All give the Scout sign. The candidates dedicate themselves to the high ideals of Scouting by slowly repeating the Scout Oath. New members remain standing to receive badges. They receive congratulations and three rousing "Hows" from the troop. Ceremony ends. |
