Directions
Before the Ceremony
Leader: Raise the Cub Scout sign and wait for quiet and attention.
Then say, “As we close our meeting today, I’d like to share a final thought with you,” and read Leader Minute.
During the Ceremony
Just like in all sports competitions, there are some winners and some losers. In Cub Scouting, there are no losers as long as everyone follows the Cub Scout motto of “Do Your Best”.
Good sportsmanship involves the principles of winning humbly and not bragging. Good sportsmanship also involves losing gracefully. The most important thing is that every Cub Scout here participated, showed good sportsmanship, and most importantly live up to the Cub Scout motto.
