Scouting4Ever 11 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Last year I just handed out the yellow beads as they earned them as Wolves. This year I want to try and do better when they earn the red as a Bear. What do you do when handing out Immediate Recognition Beads? Link to post Share on other sites
Scoutfish 16 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Nothing real special. We hand them our during pack meetings. The DL does explain what the are for and how the scout worked had and earned them. WE do something a bit more involved when rank is earned and go all out during crossover and graduation ceremonies Link to post Share on other sites
Adam S 10 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Immediate Recognition beads are supposed to be exactly that, they should be given out by the Den Leaders when the scouts earn them, it should not be waiting for a Pack Meeting... Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1616 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Either at the next Den Meeting, or the next Pack meeting. I would favor the Den Meeting, where you would have a small opening and closing ceremony, and lots of neat stuff in between, yes? The Pack meeting gets crowded with minutiae and can be a slow going thing for the Cubs, make that different and for BIGGER awards. Oh, and give'm a "round of applause (clap in a circle)" or "a big hand!" (open the hand up wide above your head). Link to post Share on other sites
qwazse 4349 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Personally, I haven't met a kid who remember the beads, so less fuss more fun is the way to go. I'd suggest a short song at the den meeting, but folks might call that hazing. Link to post Share on other sites
