Will the audience please rise?
(pause) |
Speaker’s commands should be given loud and clear.
Color guard waits at the rear of the room for the audience to stand and the room to get quiet. |
| Color guard, advance! |
US flag should be carried on the
marching right and in the lead of the procession. When the flag bearers reach the front
of the room, the US flag crosses first to the left, followed by the other flags crossing to the right of the stage when viewed
from the audience. Speaker’s eyes should follow the US flag until it is in position in the front of the room. Flag bearers and
color guards take position in front of room near flag stands. They stand at attention, facing the
audience. The flags are held vertically. |
| Scouts, salute! |
All scouts, with the possible
exception of the flag bearers, salute. |
Please repeat with me the Pledge
of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America.
And to the Republic for which it stands,
One nation, under God, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all. |
He begins the pledge with the
audience joining in. |
| Two! |
Salutes are dropped. |
| Color guard, post the colors! |
The US flag is placed in its stand; then the flag bearer and color guard salute it and step back into place. The pack flag
(or Texas flag) is then posted; its bearer and color guard salute it and step back into place. (The American flag is always posted or
raised first, and removed or lowered last). |
Please join with me in reciting
the Cub Scout Promise.
I, ____________, promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the law of the pack. |
Speaker raises the Cub Scout sign with the right hand. |
| Color Guard, dismissed! |
Flag bearers lead procession to
back of room, with speaker following last. |
