Scout Oath
On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

Continuing the journey: Crossover to the next chapter

Crossover ceremonies are a way for the pack to say goodbye to our Arrow of Light (AOL) Scouts as they cross the bridge onto the next chapter.

The scouts will individually cross an actual bridge, thus leaving the Cub Scouts. They will either be welcomed by a BSA Troop on the other side where they will continue their journey in scouting or by family should they choose not to continue with scouting at this time.

Following the ceremony, a meal is a shared with family and friends of the scout and is usually a pot-luck style meal.

  • Welcome to Crossover!
  • The leaders gather at the start of the ceremony.
  • Cub Master Jen explaining the symbolism of Crossover.
  • Decorations highlighting the various activities enjoyed during the AOL’s time as a Cub Scout.
  • Decorations highlighting the various activities enjoyed during the AOL’s time as a Cub Scout.
  • Campfire place settings.
  • Congratulations! (Not to imply that scouting is a piece of cake!)
