Webelos II Bridging Ceremony over to Boy Scouts - April 20, 2009
On April 20, 2009, three Webelos from ABS Pack 25 "bridged" over to the ABS Boy Scout Troop 21. The Bridging Ceremony was held at Big Springs Park in Athens, AL. The ceremony began with Jake as the Color Guard Caller and Ben as the Flag Bearer during the Color Guard Advance. The Pledge of Allegience was led by Andrew. Scout Oath was led by Alexander. Dayton led the troop in reciting the Scout Law. After a prayer led by Garret, Mr. Calvert, Troop Committee Chair, welcomed the Troop and the Pack to the ceremony. Then, Mr. Eric Roth, Cubmaster of Pack 25, gave a farewell speech to the Webelos from his pack and removed the Webelos neckerchief and shoulder loops from their uniforms. Then each Webelo was called to cross the bridge over to Troop 21 from Pack 25. After each Webelo crossed over the bridge they were welcomed by Gary Boyd, Scoutmaster of Troop 21. The Boys Scouts from Troop 21 presented Dalton, Corbin, and Sam with their new Boy Scout neckerchief and shoulder loops. Then Dalton, Corbin, and Sam repeated the Scout Oath with Troop 21. Each part of the Scout Law was stated during a candle lighting ceremony. Then the ceremony ended with a prayer. Congatulations Dalton, Corbin and Sam!
