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. |
