ajscrm 10 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 We have a number of boys that are aging out this year and want to recognize them for all of their years of scouting and support to our Troop. I'm looking for some established "aging out" ceremonies to perform during Courts of Honor. Anyone know of some? Link to post Share on other sites
Narraticong 15 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 What a cool, and caring, idea! Scouting is really more about the fun, adventure, and brotherhood of these young men than it is about the elusive Eagle. Think of all the boys who have had their character influenced by Scouting. Who gained a lifteime love for the outdoors. Who have gone on to become upstanding citizens who participate in their government. All without ever wearing an Eagle. As one who does wear the Eagle, I think it's a great idea to have a ceremony at the end of each year for those aging out. Ken Link to post Share on other sites
frank10 12 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 At exactly noon on Pete's 18 birthday the scout gathered around his tent, removed his gear from the patrol site and yelled "And don't come back". Still brings a tear to me eyes. But might not be what your looking for.. Link to post Share on other sites
bbender 21 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Perhaps you recognize them not for the end, but the new beginning, and have an investiture ceremony for your new Assistant Scoutmasters? Link to post Share on other sites
emb021 16 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The BSA used to have some kind of "scout citizen" ceremony for scouts aging out at 18. This was back in the 1930s/40s. Not sure if its on-line at the USScouting website. Link to post Share on other sites
