Leader or SPL: Will the following Scout(s) and their parents please come forward:
________________________________________________________________________
st
By the time a Scout achieves his 1
Class Rank he should have mastered all of the skills in
st
the Scout Handbook (hold a handbook aloft). Wearing the 1
Class badge does not just show
that he has passed certain tests. (With Emphasis) There should be no past tense implied. On
the contrary, the badge strongly declares, “I can, right here and right now!” So what can our
st
1
Class Scouts do? First, He is an outdoorsman. He knows how to camp, swim, hike, use
woods tools safely, build a fire, use a campstove, and find his way with a map and compass.
He’s spent at least 20 days and nights camping out in a tent he pitched on a site he selected.
Many of those times he planned his own menu and cooked his own food. He can tie the
knots and lashings necessary to build his camp.
st
The 1
Class Scout is comfortable with Nature. He can identify local animals and plants,
including poisonous plants. He understands the causes of water, land and air pollution, and
has worked to safeguard the environment.
st
The 1
Class Scout has begun to learn about citizenship-something that will be stressed
further if he works on his citizenship merit badges. He knows what it means to be part of a
family, a community, and a nation. he knows how our Nation came to be, and understands
it’s symbols. Importantly, he has discussed his rights and responsibilities as a citizen. He
understands how to treat, handle, and respect the flag.
st
The 1
Class Scout embodies the Scout motto, “Be Prepared”. He knows how to treat
fractures, head injuries, hypothermia, convulsions, lacerations and abrasions, frostbite, burns,
muscle cramps and knocked out teeth.
st
Finally a 1
Class Scout is now in a position to lead his troop and fellow Scouts.
st
The leader and SPL now present the badges, pins and cards to the new 1
Class Scout(s).
Each Scout in turn repeats the following:
_______________________________________ please repeat after me:
nd
I am a First Class Scout. (pause) My badge includes the Tenderfoot and 2
Class badges put
together. (pause) I am now a complete Scout. (pause) I am committed to continuing to lead
my life (pause) using the Scouting ideals such as the Law and Oath as my guide.
