PROCEDURES

TROOP LEADER:
You have presented yourself before this troop and asked to be made Scouts. Is
this your wish now?

CANDIDATES: YES SIR!

TROOP LEADER: In this ceremony you will receive into this troop and into the brotherhood of
Scouting. Before you is a single, lighted candle. It represents the spirit of
Scouting. As you become Scouts you will learn more of the Scouting Spirit. The
law of the Troop is the Scout Law. It is known and followed by millions of
Scouts. You will learn and follow this law, too. The Senior Patrol Leader will
now recite for you the parts of this. Listen closely for I will soon ask you
whether you accept this law as your own.”

As the SPL recite the Scout Law the 12 candles lighted from right to the left of SPL.
(Refer to last page)

TROOP LEADER: You have heard the twelve points of the Scout Law. Do you accept this law as a
Scout and do you promise to do your best to live by this law?

CANDIDATES: WE DO.

TROOP LEADER: Scouts also live by another code. It is the Scout Oath. The Scout Oath describes
three duties that every Scout must accept. His duty to God and Country, his duty
to other people, and his duty to himself. I want you to make this promise
publicly for the first time. Repeat after me this Oath as I light three candles to
represent these three duties.

Candidates execute Scout Sign.

TROOP LEADER: On my honor,/ I will do my best/ To do my duty/ to God and my country, The
Republic of the Philippines/ and to obey the Scout Law,/ To help other people at
all times;/ To keep myself physically strong,/ Mentally awake./ and morally
straight.

Do you heard the Scout Oath. Do you accept the three duties it describes and do
you pledge yourself to learn and to follow the Scout Oath?

CANDIDATES: WE DO.

TROOP LEADER: Very well. We began in almost total darkness. Now in the light of these candles,
we can see one another well. So it is that the spirit of the Scout Oath and the
Scout Law lights our steps. I direct your attention to the flag of our country. As a
Scout, we have a special feeling about the flag. We know that it means. We
learned to take care of it. We love and honor the nation it represents. I ask you
now to face and pledge your allegiance to it. Repeat after me.

Candidates execute Scout Sign facing the Philippine Flag

CANDIDATES: I pledge allegiance/ to the flag of the Philippines,/ and to the Republic for which
it stands./ one nation under God,/ indivisible,/ with liberty, and justice for all.

Troop Leader calls the parents to put the neckerchief to their son.

TROOP LEADER: Now, you will recite this Investiture pledge as a commitment to your
responsibilities as a Boy Scout. Repeat after me.

VI. THE OUTFITINVESTITURE CEREMONY PROPER

The Outfit Advisor: “Senior Crew leader, bring the candidates forward.”
(SPL escorts the candidates in front of the stage, facing the Outfit Advisor,
back to audience. SPL stands in front).

Outfit Advisor: “You have presented yourself before this Outfit and asked
to be made Scouts. Is this your own wish?”

Participants: “Sir, yes sir!”

Outfit Advisor: “In this ceremony you will be received into this Outfit and
into the world brotherhood of Scouting. Before you is a single, lighted
candle. It represents the Spirit of Scouting.
The Scout Ideals as contained in the Scout Oath and Law present a code for
living and a standard of conduct that must be observed by all members of
the Scouting Movement at all times. Scout spirit is living every day in
accordance with our Scout Ideals. You show it in the way you act and the
things you say and do in Scouting as well as in your daily life.

As you become Scouts you will learn more about the Scouting Spirit. The
law of the Outfit is the Scout Law. It is know and followed by millions of
Scouts. You will learn and follow this law, too. The Senior Crew Leader will
now lead the rededication of the Scout Oath & Law.

Participants pledge themselves to the Scout Oath and Law.

(The Lightning of 3 Main Candles which represents 3 Main Duty of a Scout

namely Duty to God and Country, Duty to Others and Duty to Self
followed by the lightning of 12 candles w/c symbolizes the 12 point of the
Scout Law, the 12 candles will be lit by 12 Scouts individually, one at a time
after it was mentioned.)

The SPL leads the Scout A, B, & C in reciting the Duties and lighting of the
three (3) main candles. Each Scout/Participant approaches the single
lighted candle and lit their candle and proceeds in the lectern/podium. Each
Scout/Participant reads their part before the audience.

SCOUT A: “On my honor, /I will do my best/ to do my duty/ to God and my

Country, the republic of the Philippines (lights the center candle)

On My Honor…Honor is your most precious and sacred possession in life.

It includes your good name, your integrity and good reputation. When you
commit yourself to the Scout Oath, you promise to live by its precepts in
order to give meaning and idealism to your way of life.

I will Do My Best… In everything you do, you promise to do the best you
can. If anything worth doing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well.
Doing your best is your personal challenge. Always strive to do your best in
everything you do.

To Do My Duty to God and My Country…We, who belong to the Scout

Movement believe in God. We may not all worship Him in the same way,
but we are one in our faith and belief that He is the supreme Being, our
Lord and Master. To do your duty to God, you must worship Him and follow
His teaching according to your own religious beliefs. You will find happiness
in life if you faithfully do your duty to God.

SCOUT B: “On my honor/ I will do my best to obey the Scout Law, and To
help other people at all times;/(lights left candle)

And to Obey the Scout Law… In trying to live up to the Scout Oath – you
will need the Scout Law to guide you. The twelve points of the Scout Law
are our norm of conduct as we travel along the Scouting trail through life.
Thus, you are asked to commit yourself to the Scout Oath and Law as your
way of life.
 To Help Other People at All Times… One reason why Scouting has
flourished in this country is because it has received the willing support of
the public. Scouting merits this support because Scouts have
demonstrated that they are useful members of society. This is evident
when Scouts perform rescue work in case of disaster – fires, earthquakes,
typhoons and floods. During emergencies anywhere, Scouts are always
among the first to volunteer for service and perform tasks which are
ordinarily belong to adults. In normal times, Scouts have shown that they
are ready to participate and even initiate community and service projects
that benefit the community. The spirit of service is in the heart of all true
Scouts.

SCOUT C: “On my honor/ I will do my best/ To keep myself physically

strong/ Mentally awake,/ And morally straight. (Lights right candle).

To Keep My Self Physically Strong…By now, you have learned certain

rules of health and hygiene in school which if observed will help you live a
healthy and happy life. Sound minds swell in sound bodies. If you want to
have an alert mind and be always ready to serve others, you must keep
yourself physically healthy and strong.

Mentally Awake… Being mentally awake reflects mental alertness and

mental health. It is not a enough that a Scout is physically healthy; he must
be mentally awake too. His reflexes, his responses, his movements must
be ready to respond to his needs and the needs of the situation.

And Morally Straight…A Scout always must be a model of moral

uprightness. His norm of conduct must be beyond reproach. His thought,
words and deeds should always reflect his high ideals and sound moral
values.

NARRATION/VOICE OVER OR ASSIGNED TO 12 SELECTED

The Outfit Advisor: “You have heard the words of the Scout Oath and the
twelve points of the Scout Law. Do you accept these three duties and the
twelve points of this law as a Scout?”

Participants: “Yes, we are!”

The Outfit Advisor: “Do you promise to do your best to live and pledge
yourself to learn and follow the Scout Oath & Law?”

Participants: “Yes, we are!”

Outfit Advisor: “Very well. We began in almost total darkness. Now in the
light of these candles, we can see one another well and have renewed
ourselves in the Spirit of the Scout Oath & Scout Law. Now, I shall call your
Senior Crew Leader to lead the recitation of the Senior Scout Code.

The Senior Crew Leader: to all our newly invested Senior Scouts, please
raise your right hand in Scout Sign and repeat after me:

THE SENIOR SCOUT CODE

As a Senior Scout Citizen,

I will live the Scout Oath and Law, the Scout Motto, and the Senior Scout Slogan;

I will be familiar with the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, especially
my rights and obligations as a Filipino citizen;

I will share in the responsibilities of my home, school, church, neighbourhood,

community, and country;

I will deal fairly and kindly with my fellowmen in the spirit of the Scout Law;

I will work to preserve our Filipino heritage, aware that the privileges we enjoy were
won by hard work, sacrifice, clear thinking, and faith of our forefathers;

I will do everything in my power to pass on a better Philippines to the next

generation.
The Senior Crew Leader: I shall now call our Asst. Senior Crew Leader for
the Presentation of the Scout Badge.

The Asst. Senior Crew Leader: My fellow Scouts, before you is the Scout
Badge. The Scout Badge is composed of the trefoil and the scroll with an
overhand knot attached to it. Each point of the three pointed trefoil, which
is the main part of the Scout Badge, represents the three points of the
Scout Oath, namely – duty to God and Country, Duty to Others and Duty to
Self.

The single band joining the three points of the trefoil symbolizes Unity and
Universal Brotherhood. The design and color inside the trefoil which is
derived from our flag have the same symbolism and meaning. The stars
further symbolize the ideals of faith, truth and knowledge, the foundation of
Scout Citizenship.

The Scroll with the Scout Motto turned up at its end is a symbolic reminder
of the eight point of the Scout Law, “A Scout is Cheerful.” The rope
attached below the scroll serves as a reminder to the Scout to do a good
turn to someone every day, the slogan being “Do a Good Turn Daily.”

As your personal commitment, do promise to depend and uphold the

highest traditions and noble ideals of the Scout Badge as member of the
World Organization of the Scout Movement and the Boy Scouts of the
Philippines?

Participants: “Sir, Yes, sir!”

The Asst. Senior Crew Leader: Very well, with that, I’m with you in this
endeavour. I shall now call our Outfit Scribe for the commitment to the
Scout Motto.

The Outfit Scribe: As previously mentioned in the part of the Scout Badge
is the Scout Motto, which is “LagingHanda” or “Be Prepared”. The motto
reminds a Scout of the meaning and purpose of his membership and the
training he gets from Scouting.

A Scout is being prepared and trained for responsible citizenship and

servant leadership. As he requires the necessary knowledge and skills in
Scouting, his mind is conditioned and he is able to offer the same
knowledge and skills not only for himself but in the service of others.
Scouting therefore, is a preparation and readiness to serve others, hence
our Scout Motto “LagingHanda.” Do you accept this motto as your own and
promise to live with it in your daily lives?

Participants: “Sir, Yes, sir!”

The Outfit Scribe: I am glad and happy to hear your commitment to our
Scout Motto. Now, I shall now call our Outfit Quartermaster for the
presentation of the Senior Scout Slogan.

The Outfit Quartermaster: The Senior Scout Slogan is “Once a Scout

always a Scout”. In the case maybe, our Slogan will be simple reminder
for all us, even though we ceased to be a fine young men - in this little
world, we will always be a Scout not only in uniform but more so in
thoughts, words and deeds. Do subscribe in the our Senior Scout Slogan?
Participants: “Yes, we are!”
The Outfit Quartermaster: Very well then, I am one with you, this slogan
– Once a Scout always a Scout, may we always be. I shall now call our Outfit
Treasurer for the commencement of the Scout Salute and the Scout Sign.

The Outfit Treasurer: My fellow Scouts, before us are the Philippine Flag
and the BSP Flag, and as sign of respect, let us execute the Scout Sign.

The Scout Sign is made with the right hand palm forward with forefinger,
middle and ring pointed upward, the thumb folded over the little finger.
The forearm forms a right angle with the upper arm which is horizontally in
line with the shoulder.

The three fingers pointing upward indicate the three components of the
Scout trefoil. They also signify that a Scout reaches upward to bigger and
nobler Ideals. The thumb and little finger joined together represent the
unity of the Scouting Movement and symbolize the bond of brotherhood of
all Scouts all over the world.

The Scout Sign is used by Scouts when he makes a solemn pledge, while
reciting the Scout Oath and Law, as well as the PanunumpasaWatawat. It is
also used as a greeting or recognition sign among Scouts and Scouts all
over the World. Ready front!

Fellow Scouts, Scout Salute! The Scout salute is made with the right handin
the Scout sign. The hand isbrought up smartly (taking the shortest
distance) with the forefinger touching the edge of the right eyebrow. If
wearing a brimmed cap or hat, the forefinger must touch the brim slightly
to side of the right eye. When in uniform, the salute is rendered as a sign of
respect to the flag and the National Anthem. It is also used between Scouts
and Scouters as a sign of courtesy and respect.

We shall now have the presentation of the Senior Scout Medallion to lead by
our Senior Crew Leader

The Senior Crew Leader: Fellow Scouts, before you is the symbolic
presentation of our Senior Scout Medallion.

THE SENIOR SCOUT MEDALLION / EMBLEM

It represents all that Senior Scouting stands for. The red double S
letter embossed in a field of gold and represented as a winding road leading
to the distant horizon symbolizes the exciting outdoor trails of life which a
Senior Scout must take in adventure filled journey to good citizenship. The
golden field upon which the double letter S is lain symbolizes those golden
values that every Senior Scout must strive to possess as he goes through
life. The trefoil on the emblem reminds him that, as a Senior Scout, he
belongs to a world-wide brotherhood of young people committed to a life of
selfless service to God, Country and Fellowmen.

The double S also represents the three (3) sections of the Senior
Scout programs namely the Land, Sea and Air Scouting. It symbolizes the
pathways traveled by Land Scouts as they wind their way through the
woods. It also symbolizes the red sails of sailboats that flaps in the wind as
Sea Scouts go into an adventurous voyage along the coast. So.too, does it
symbolizes the flight curvature of spaceships hurling into infinity as Air
Scouts set their sights on a highly challenging odyssey into the future. The
 double S is represented in the red for the courageous spirit that Senior
Scouts must exemplify on their joyful journey to a better life.

I shall now call our Assistant Outfit Advisor to lead the presentation of the
Scout Neckerchief and the Wooden Carabao Slide before our acceptance
and donning ceremony.

The Assistant Outfit Advisor: My fellow Scouts, before you is the Scout
Neckerchief and the Carabao Slide, allow me to present to you its
symbolism before the donning ceremony.

Our Neckerchief represents as the identity and basic uniform of a Scout…

The Universality of the Scout Movement Serves as many practical purposes
such as Bandage and tourniquet, Signal Flags during emergencies, In
absence of ropes, may also be joined together to be used as one and
Protects the head from the heat of the sun.

The Wooden Carabao Head as Slide… The symbol of hard work,

humility, perseverance and strength… An animal of burden which is so
valuable, an asset to the Filipino farmer. It Exemplifies kindness,
friendliness, hospitality, patience and persistence which are held highly by
every Filipino and Our national animal – that possesses “good character”,
which also render selfless service to all. You may now prepare yourselves

X. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE GUEST SPEAKER

THE EMCEE: Congratulations to everyone! Now, it’s time for us to reaffirm

the values that we commit to fulfill, with that, allow me to introduce to you
our Guest Speaker for this afternoon. He/She is no other than
 _____________________________________________, (designation) The Emcee
introduces the Guest Speaker.

XI. THE INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

The Guest Speaker delivers his/her Speech.

Having been a witness with this kind of ceremony is indeed an inspiration in

itself, what else could I ask for? Now, my beloved Scouts, my message for
you today is a just gentle reminder from the movie Spider Man, recalling
the scene when the old dying Uncle Ben reminded the young Peter Parker,
that with “Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”. Another
remarkable line in the same movie series is when Pater Parker was breaking
up with his dream girl MJ and said “Sometimes to do what is right, we
have to give up the things we want the most, even our dream”.
Now, what have these messages got to do with our Investiture Ceremony?
The moment you decided to join the Scout Movement, you already have
acquired the Scouts’ “Great Power”, having the ability to train oneself in
Scout Craft for Skills and Self Reliance, Citizenship and Character Building.
Another great power that comes within is the very good side of human
thought, which is service, the opportunity to serve other people, be of
service to our neighborhood, community and country. Having all these
powers within comes great responsibility, having great sense of
responsibility is an outward sign of servant leadership, trustworthiness and
self-discipline. You may find it difficult to stick and fulfill our Oath and Law,
especially during tough times, and may come across compromising
circumstances. When this time comes, always be reminded that a Scout has
a positive outlook in life, he often look at the bright side of things instead of
the gloomy ones – seeing the glass of water as half full rather than half
empty. As the eight point of the Scout Law reminds us – A Scout is Cheerful,
despite of difficult situations, he manages to keep his temper and whistle at
life’s challenges.

Now, to end, my message let me share with you another practical guide as
we traverse our great journey called life... The tale is all about the Parable
of the Pencil. One day the Pencil Maker shares 5 most important lessons in
life with his pencils. First, always be reminded that as pencil, whatever you
do will always leave a mark. Secondly, you can always correct the mistakes
you made. The third one is always remember that what matters most is
what is inside you. The fourth one, always remember that in life, you will
undergo painful sharpening which will make you a better pencil. Lastly, is to
be the best pencil that you can be and allow yourselves to be held and
guided by the hand that holds. God Bless us all, Mabuhay KayongLahat,
Congratulations and Thank you very much!
The Emcee thanks the speaker and calls a Parent or Guardian (a member of
the Institutional Scouting Committee) to give the Closing Remarks.

XII. THE CLOSING REMARKS

First, I would like to extend my warmest greetings and congratulations to

everyone, especially to our parents and guardians, Scout Officials and my
beloved Scouts. As I carefully observe the ceremony, it was really an eye-
opener and enlightenment at the same. A very timely call to renew our
desirable customs and traditions, morale values and character through
 Scouting. Having your commitment to the Scout Ideals shall help
strengthen the moral fiber of our society, with the Scouts as future servant
leaders.

I would just like to summarize my remarks in two challenging rules – rule

#1 is to try live up with the ideals of the Scout Oath & Law, with much
courage and perseverance – rule #2, during tough times and challenging
years try not to compromise rule #1. And God, our great Scoutmaster will
help you to do it. Again, congratulations and happy Scouting.

XIII. THE CLOSING PRAYER

Let’s bow down our heads, join us and be with our God’s loving presence.

God.” Make me clean in thought, in words and in deeds.
Lord, make us REVERENT; Teach me to love You with all my heart, with all
my mind and with all my strength.
Lord, my Scouting started with You, let my Scouting end with You, the Great
Scoutmaster of all. All these we pray in your most holy name. AMEN.
