September Pack Meeting Welcome New Scouts and Families

September Pack Meeting Welcome New Scouts and Families! Thank you to Den 7 , tonight’s greeter den & Den 2, hosts of the gathering activity.

Signs up! Two fingers are like the ears of Akela, listening but not talking. The two fingers stand for the two points of the Scout Oath: to help others and to obey the Scout Law

Opening Flag Ceremony Den 4 Scout Salute: two fingers to right brim or eyebrow

Scout Oath On my honor I will do my best To do my duty To God and my country And to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, Mentally awake, And morally straight.

Scout Law A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

September Core Value: A Scout is Courteous A Scout is polite to everyone and knows good manners, which is especially important while welcoming new members to our pack. . Opening Ceremony led by Den 8

Opening Prayer “May we always treat others with courtesy and respect, Knowing this is how Scouts should always act”
