Capital Area
Council
Because of books, we can travel anywhere in the world - or
the universe. We can travel through time to the distant past or ahead to the
unforeseen future. We can be anywhere in time or imagination. Thanks to books
we can have experiences that we would have no other way. We can visit the world
of witches and wizards, or we can examine microscopic organisms that live in our
world. We can learn new skills, receive instruction, gain knowledge, or just
relax and have a good laugh. So tonight, go home and celebrate books –
celebrate learning – celebrate life!
If you want to touch…
Southern NJ Council
There are times when a man gropes for words and nothing
seems to come. We get a little flustered taking tests, reciting poetry,
thanking our leaders, etc. But, if we take our time the words for all those
things soon come just as these words will come to help complete this message for
you.
If you want to touch the past:
touch a STONE.
If you want to touch the
present: touch a ROSE.
If you want to touch the
future: touch the life of a BOY.
Captain Of All Scouts
Southern NJ Council
Now may the great Captain of all Scouts Who created the
seas and all things that live therein And Who gave us dominion over them Be with
us till we meet again.
Another Closing Idea
Sam Houston
Area Council
Have the Cubmaster (or other well known leader) share
his/her favorite childhood book with the Pack. Explain why and read a part of it
to them - or all, if it isn’t too long.
