Lake Ridge, Va. –– Monday night Cub Scout Pack 1364 promoted 53 scouts to their next rank. Pack 1364 operates out of Antietam Elementary School, but is open to any age-eligible child in the community.
During the promotion ceremony, each den, a group comprised of between 6 and 8 boys, was called up individually to receive new handkerchiefs which the boys wear around their necks as part of their uniforms. Proud parents accompanied their children to be recognized by the assembly. Cub Scouts has five levels, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos 1 and Webelos 2 which are for boys from first to fifth grade.
“I challenge each of you to be an example for the boys below you” charged Cub Master Jeff Segal after the scouts had been promoted. The ceremony also featured a flag ceremony, several scout cheers, a skit and a song, all performed by the various dens.
Isaac, who was promoted from Bear to Webelos 1 said he enjoys the scouting program and plans to continue for as long as possible. “I worked hard and got a lot of belt loops this year. It was cool.” said Isaac.
Pack 1364’s next meeting will be July 16th at Lake Ridge Marina and new scouts are welcome to join. An RSVP is appreciated and details can be found at pack1364.org.
