Also, your RT Commissioner has theme related ideas from the CS RT Planning Guide.

ALOHA
Great Salt Lake Council

Boys hold cards spelling "ALOHA" which is Hawaiian for good-bye. Each boy reads one of the parts and after the last one is read, all boys shout "Aloha."

  • A - We came together and had our fun. It seems as though we'd just begun.
  • L - We sang and danced and played some games. And had some fun with Hawaiian names.
  • O - We ate new foods and learned how Hawaiian children play and shout.
  • H - We dressed in grass skirts we had made. It was so fun we wish we could stay.
  • A - But now the time has come to say, "Aloha until another day!"

ALL        "ALOHA!"

The Meaning of the Promise Closing
Baltimore Area Council

Leader:    There are many things that are said.  Nothing is more meaningful than what we commit to in our lives.  Cubs Scouts are not an exception.

  •  (looking around) It’s just me - me, myself, and nobody else - I sign my name to it
  • My solemn work, my personal pledge, my sole commitment.
  • I may not be perfect but I will try my hardest,
  • To fulfill my obligations to my beliefs, my home, my community, and my forefathers.
  • To lend a hand to my neighbors - even those I don’t know yet.
  • To adhere to the approved guidelines of religious organization, state, school, and family.
  • These words are easy for an adult to understand, but for children of all ages to an easier wording. (Ask everyone to join in the Cub Scout Promise)
