ON-THE-AIR
(maybe this one is a keeper for this year?)
Equipment: Three handheld micro- phones (real or made of wood), badges and certificates to be awarded.
Personnel: Cubmaster, assistant, Webelos den leader, boys earning awards, and their parents.
CUBMASTER: “This is Station C-U-B-S reporting from the pack meeting of Pack _____. Tonight we have selected several of our new listeners for awards. They are to become official Bobcats. Let's welcome them now.” (Call forward Bobcat candidates and their parents.)
“Cub Scouts, will you please show that you're ready to receive your badges by joining me in the Cub Scout Promise. (Say Promise.)
“Fine. It is a pleasure to present, you Bobcat badges. (Give badges to parents to pin on boys’ shirts.)
ASSISTANT (in audience): “This is Station C-U-B-S mobile unit out on the Cub Scout trail. We have spotted several Cub Scouts who have reached the Wolf station. I’ll send them to your location.”
(Wolf candidates and parents go forward.)
CUBMASTER: “We are very glad that you have earned the 12 achievements to reach Wolf rank. I know your parents have helped you a lot so I will give them the honor of pinning on your new badges.” (Present badges)
Continue in the same fashion with arrow points and Bear awards. Webelos den leaders present activity badges and Webelos badges in the same way.
CUBMASTER: “This is Station C-U-B-S signing off the air but inviting you to stay tuned to the great Cub Scouting in Pack ______

ROCKET
The rocket is made by threading a straw with the launch line. Cub blows up a long balloon. He and the Cubmaster attach it to the straw with tape. The Cub then goes to the other end of the launch area and waits by his parent. Cubmaster then attaches the award to the balloon and releases the balloon. It rockets to the parent for the award to be given to the Cub.

Thought for the Day - (Each one of these can be done as someone thoughtfully walking onstage, saying his line and walking off) 1) Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you are a mile away from him and you have his shoes. 2 ) A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk I have a workstation... 3) I believe five out of four people have trouble with fractions. 4) If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead?" 5) Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? 6) What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men? 7) Employment applications and other forms often ask who should be notified in case of emergency. I think you should write: "The best doctor you can find."

I bet I can jump higher than a house...ever seen a house jump?
