- When all the ranks are on the stage together, Cubmaster: “Cub Scouts, you have earned your Bobcat Adventure. It is now my pleasure to pass to you the spirit of Cub Scouting. Before I pass it to you, please join me in saying the Cub Scout motto”
- After the Cub Scout motto, turn the lights off. Cubmaster: “Adults, please turn on your light and present the light to your Cub Scout.”
- Cubmaster: “Cub Scouts, this very special light is powered by Cub Scout spirit.”
- Cubmaster: “Congratulations Cub Scouts! The Cub Scout spirit has been passed to you, and you have earned your Bobcat Adventure. Will the audience please give our families a round of applause.”
- Distribute Bobcat belt loops and activity pins. Cub Scouts keep their tea light and return to their seat.
