Need a show stopper!!!!


Recommended Posts

HELP!! I just heard that my new cubs families are missing the pomp from our awards. They are not happy with the ceremonies in the Program Helps. I need a show stopper for this months awards. Please give me some fantastic ideas like the flaming neckerchief ceremony I used at last years cross over.

The monthly awards don't need to be "show stoppers". If you try to make every ceremony over the top you will quickly run out of ideas, resources, & start repeating yourself way to often.

 

You just need to make the awards FUN. Use whatever your theme for the meeting is and run with that. This month we have our Holiday Pot Luck Pack Meeting. The awards (we don't have many in Dec) will be in baggies attached to ornaments on the Christmas Tree. A bunch of clear glass ornaments were donated by a Pack family member. I think we will paint the boys name, level & year on the ornament then attach his awards. When they come up with their den, & parents, each boy will find his own ornament on the tree. At the end of the presentation each den will do their den cheer (of course the G-R-R-E-A-T Tigers will be the LOUDEST!).

 

The awards that should be "show stoppers" are the rank awards & graduation. If you have people complaining about the ceremonies, announce a new Pack position - Ceremonies Chair!

At our district roundtable, they had a really good idea. They took balloons , put a slip of paper in them with the list of awards that they boys earned for the month, blew them up and attached them to a stick. The boy's name was wrote on the balloon and they were all placed in a vase. The boys was called forward and give his ballonn to pop. Then he read it and was given the awards.
