community.

dedicated individuals as they march with pride on this day’s special event.

the community.

VII. INVESTITURE CEREMONY

EMCEE: The next part of the program honors the candidate scouts officially into the scout and guide family. There
is no “right way” for scouts to be invested, as long as each scout has a chance to make her promise and receive
both pins and neckerchief. This part welcomes new members to the brotherhood and sisterhood.

Let us start with the candle lighting ceremony.

A. LIGHTING OF THE CANDLES

 EMCEE: This Candle flame represents the sisterhood and brotherhood bond that you all share. From the
experienced Senior Scout to the youngest ranked scout, pass on the flame of sisterhood and brotherhood---from
one to another. You will all now be moving from one level of scouting to another. From Junior Girl Scouts to Senior
Girl Scouts. From Boys Scouts to Senior Boy Scouts.

(10 GSP and 12 BSP will walk towards the stage to light their candles consecutively. Each will recite each scout
law)

Scouts before we end this event, I would like you to hear this simple yet very moving statement from a popular
superhero, Spiderman, which I quoted “With great power comes great responsibility”

Scouts, the pin and the badge and the name given to you as Senior Scout will never be a recognition or an award
but a BIG RESONSIBILITY to carry on. Today, you will not be a normal student anymore but an individual of Honor,
Integrity, Trust, and Discipline. May you keep this in your minds and in your hearts. You are a scout and forever be
a SCOUT!

These individuals deserve a very big applause us.

To end this event, may I request everybody to please stand for the exit of colors followed by the recessional of the
new Senior Scouts.

EMCEE: This has been your master of ceremony for this event. Thank you very much and have a good night!

This marks a milestone in your lives as scouts and is a mark of progress for both you and your leaders. You as
Scouts in your council are moving forward as a small group just as the whole Philippine Scout organization is
constantly moving forward. It is a joyful journey you are following together and find that the greatest joy of the journey
is the friendship of working together, playing together and growing together.
