CROSSOVER CEREMONY

CUBMASTER-Tonight is a special meeting because we honor our second year Webelos and their 
parents. Will Webelos Scout(name) and his parents please come forward. (After each scout has been 
called up). These Scouts, parents, and Webelos leaders have brought honor to our pack as they have 
climbed the Cub Scout trail together. Thank you parents and den leaders forthe help and 
encouragement you have given your son. Thank you Webelos for your hard work and contribution to 
our pack. Our Webelos are now ready to go into the great brotherhood of Boy Scouting. With the 
help of his parents, he will soon start up the Boy Scout trail. Last month you received your Arrow of 
Light. This is the badge you have permission to wear as a Boy Scout. Arrow-of-light was the son of 
the mighty chief, Akela, of the webelo tribe.  These Webelos have done as Arrow-of-light did and 
have followed Akela. You have been faithful followers and now it is time to follow Akela into Boy 
Scouts. There are new leaders tnere who will help guide you along the Scouting trail. Listen to 
them.

METEU--When the mighty chief Akela spoke, the braves of the tribe would form a council ring 
around the fire. Akela told of the law of the tribe, that all young braves must complete certain 
requirements before they becomea Scouting Brave. They must go into the forest and learn from the 
wolf. Then they must go into the forest and learn from the bear. They learned the language of the 
ground and air, of the tracks and the
ways to food. The young braves must go into the forest and learn from the Great Manitou. They 
learned to trust the'Great Pathfinder' and to uphold the law 'live and help live.' Then it was time to 
take their place in the tribe.  You, too, have learned many things and it is time to take your place in a 
Boy Scout troop. Listen to what the winds say.

ALLOWAT--I am the North Wind. People say I am cold, but to you I will always bring the 
warmest of winds because you have been loyal Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts and have lived the 
Law of the Pack. 

NUTIKET--I am the South Wind. I wish you good scouting. Over the land I have carried stories of 
you and your experiences.  As Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts you have been happy, willing and 
fair - a credit to your den and pack.

KITCHKINET--I am the East Wind. I wish you well. I have spread the story of your fun and 
happiness in Cub Scouting with your pack and of how you have
lived up to the Cub Scout Promise and were fair and helpful.

METEU--I am the West Wind. I would like everyone to know that these graduating Webelos 
Scouts did not walk the Cub Scout trail alone. Each had the wonderful help and guidance of his 
parents. (PAUSE). Parents,  continue to help your boys go and grow!

ALLOWAT-- We will be with you forever. We wish you the best in your travels and experiences 
on the Scouting trail. Follow me! (Walk across the bridge leading Cub Scouts).
