Service Stars

[JillKB 10]

Has anyone seen any ceremonies or readings that can be done when presenting service stars to cubs?

All I've ever seen is at the end of the school year, the cubs get their stars prior to moving up with all the other awards. Just make sure you get the correct backign for cubs: yellow.

Yes... but I am looking for some kind of ceremony to use when presenting.(This message has been edited by JillKB)

I haven't seen one. Try making one up. Perhaps find out one or two things the den did and read them off when presenting to the kids.

 

However, we don't do service stars. The cost is part of it, then there is the disc to consider. The other problem is the clutch used comes off very easy and the pin gets lost. Quite often another scout has it embedded in their shoe.

 

I think there a great idea though, perhaps if it had a pin clasp instead.

Of all the awards I've seen presented in Scouting, these probably receive the least fanfare. I have seen them presented at Courts of Honor and Blue and Gold banquets, but they usually go up, receive their service star, and sit down. Come to think of it, I don't remember ever seeing a veteran recognition being presented. Perhaps the pomp and circumstance is reserved for those...(This message has been edited by sherminator505)
