Investiture Ceremony Proper. Lets all welcome (The Session Leader) Outfit Advisor to
formally officiate our ceremony.
The Outfit Advisor: Senior Crew leader, bring the candidates forward. (SPL escorts the
candidates in front of the stage, facing the Outfit Advisor, back to audience. SCL
stands in front).
Outfit Advisor: You have presented yourself before this Outfit and asked to be made
Scouts. Is this your own wish?
Outfit Advisor: In this ceremony you will be received into this Outfit and into the world
brotherhood of Scouting. Before you is a single, lighted candle. It represents the Spirit
of Scouting.
The Scout Ideals as contained in the Scout Oath and Law present a code for living
and a standard of conduct that must be observed by all members of the Scouting
Movement at all times. Scout spirit is living every day in accordance with our Scout
Ideals. You show it in the way you act and the things you say and do in Scouting as
well as in your daily life.
As you become Scouts you will learn more about the Scouting Spirit. The law of the
Outfit is the Scout Law. It is know and followed by millions of Scouts. You will learn and
follow this law, too. The Senior Crew Leader will now lead the rededication of the
Scout Oath & Law.
(The Lightning of 3 Main Candles which represents 3 Main Duty of a Scout namely Duty
to God and Country, Duty to Others and Duty to Self followed by the lightning of 12
candles w/c symbolizes the 12 point of the Scout Law, the 12 candles will be lit by 12
Scouts individually, one at a time after it was mentioned.)
The SPL leads the Scout A, B, & C in reciting the Duties and lighting of the three (3)
main candles. Each Scout/Participant approaches the single lighted candle and lit
their candle and proceeds in the lectern/podium. Each Scout/Participant reads their
part before the audience.
I will Do My Best In everything you do, you promise to do the best you can. If
anything worth doing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well. Doing your best is your
personal challenge. Always strive to do your best in everything you do.
SCOUT Mendoza: On my honor/ I will do my best to obey the Scout Law, and To help
other people at all times;/(lights left candle)
And to Obey the Scout Law In trying to live up to the Scout Oath you will need the
Scout Law to guide you. The twelve points of the Scout Law are our norm of conduct
as we travel along the Scouting trail through life. Thus, you are asked to commit
yourself to the Scout Oath and Law as your way of life.
To Help Other People at All Times One reason why Scouting has flourished in this
country is because it has received the willing support of the public. Scouting merits this
support because Scouts have demonstrated that they are useful members of society.
This is evident when Scouts perform rescue work in case of disaster fires, earthquakes,
typhoons and floods. During emergencies anywhere, Scouts are always among the
first to volunteer for service and perform tasks which are ordinarily belong to adults. In
normal times, Scouts have shown that they are ready to participate and even initiate
community and service projects that benefit the community. The spirit of service is in
the heart of all true Scouts.
To Keep My Self Physically StrongBy now, you have learned certain rules of health
and hygiene in school which if observed will help you live a healthy and happy life.
Sound minds swell in sound bodies. If you want to have an alert mind and be always
ready to serve others, you must keep yourself physically healthy and strong.
Mentally Awake Being mentally awake reflects mental alertness and mental health.
It is not a enough that a Scout is physically healthy; he must be mentally awake too.
His reflexes, his responses, his movements must be ready to respond to his needs and
the needs of the situation.
And Morally StraightA Scout always must be a model of moral uprightness. His norm
of conduct must be beyond reproach. His thought, words and deeds should always
reflect his high ideals and sound moral values.
EMCEE: The Scout Law. Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind,
Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent. (Each Scout/Participant
approaches the center stage, lit their candle and recites each point of the Scout
Law).
A Scout is Trustworthy (Martinez) A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises.
Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can always depend on him.
A Scout is Cheerful (Roa) A Scout looks for the bright side of life. He cheerfully does
task that come his way. He tries to make others happy.
A Scout is Thrifty (Serrano) A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves
for the future. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses his time
and property.
A Scout is Brave (Fria) A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has courage
to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at him or threaten him.
A Scout is Clean (Mariquit) A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes
round with those who believe in living these same ideals. He keeps his home and
community clean.
The Outfit Advisor: You have heard the words of the Scout Oath and the twelve points
of the Scout Law. Do you accept these three duties and the twelve points of this law
as a Scout?
The Outfit Advisor: Do you promise to do your best to live and pledge yourself to learn
and follow the Scout Oath & Law?
Outfit Advisor: Very well. We began in almost total darkness. Now in the light of these
candles, we can see one another well and have renewed ourselves in the Spirit of the
Scout Oath & Scout Law. Now, I shall call your Senior Crew Leader Esmas to lead the
recitation of the Senior Scout Code.
The Senior Crew Leader (Esmas): to all our newly invested Senior Scouts, please raise
your right hand in Scout Sign and repeat after me:
I will live the Scout Oath and Law, the Scout Motto, and the Senior Scout Slogan;
I will be familiar with the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, especially my rights and
obligations as a Filipino citizen;
I will share in the responsibilities of my home, school, church, neighbourhood, community, and
country;
I will deal fairly and kindly with my fellowmen in the spirit of the Scout Law;
I will work to preserve our Filipino heritage, aware that the privileges we enjoy were won by hard
work, sacrifice, clear thinking, and faith of our forefathers;
The Senior Crew Leader: I shall now call our Senior Crew Leader Mendoza for the
Presentation of the Scout Badge.
The Asst. Senior Crew Leader (Mendoza) : My fellow Scouts, before you is the Scout
Badge. The Scout Badge is composed of the trefoil and the scroll with an overhand
knot attached to it. Each point of the three pointed trefoil, which is the main part of
the Scout Badge, represents the three points of the Scout Oath, namely duty to God
and Country, Duty to Others and Duty to Self.
The single band joining the three points of the trefoil symbolizes Unity and Universal
Brotherhood. The design and color inside the trefoil which is derived from our flag have
the same symbolism and meaning. The stars further symbolize the ideals of faith, truth
and knowledge, the foundation of Scout Citizenship.
The Scroll with the Scout Motto turned up at its end is a symbolic reminder of the eight
point of the Scout Law, A Scout is Cheerful. The rope attached below the scroll
serves as a reminder to the Scout to do a good turn to someone every day, the slogan
being Do a Good Turn Daily.
Senior Crew Leader (Mendoza): Very well, with that, Im with you in this endeavour. I
shall now call our Scout Martinez for the commitment to the Scout Motto.
The Outfit Scribe (Martinez): As previously mentioned in the part of the Scout Badge is
the Scout Motto, which is LagingHanda or Be Prepared. The motto reminds a
Scout of the meaning and purpose of his membership and the training he gets from
Scouting.
A Scout is being prepared and trained for responsible citizenship and servant
leadership. As he requires the necessary knowledge and skills in Scouting, his mind is
conditioned and he is able to offer the same knowledge and skills not only for himself
but in the service of others. Scouting therefore, is a preparation and readiness to serve
others, hence our Scout Motto LagingHanda. Do you accept this motto as your own
and promise to live with it in your daily lives?
The Outfit Quartermaster (Cananea) : The Senior Scout Slogan is Once a Scout always
a Scout. In the case maybe, our Slogan will be simple reminder for all us, even though
we ceased to be a fine young men - in this little world, we will always be a Scout not
only in uniform but more so in thoughts, words and deeds. Do you subscribe in the our
Senior Scout Slogan?
Participants: Sir Yes sir!
The Outfit Quartermaster: Very well then, I am one with you, this slogan Once a Scout
always a Scout, may we always be. I shall now call Scout Matta for the
commencement of the Scout Salute and the Scout Sign.
Scout Matta: My fellow Scouts, before us are the Philippine Flag and the BSP Flag, and
as sign of respect, let us execute the Scout Sign.
The Scout Sign is made with the right hand palm forward with forefinger, middle and
ring pointed upward, the thumb folded over the little finger. The forearm forms a right
angle with the upper arm which is horizontally in line with the shoulder.
The three fingers pointing upward indicate the three components of the Scout trefoil.
They also signify that a Scout reaches upward to bigger and nobler Ideals. The thumb
and little finger joined together represent the unity of the Scouting Movement and
symbolize the bond of brotherhood of all Scouts all over the world.
The Scout Sign is used by Scouts when he makes a solemn pledge, while reciting the
Scout Oath and Law, as well as the PanunumpasaWatawat. It is also used as a
greeting or recognition sign among Scouts and Scouts all over the World. Ready front!
Fellow Scouts, Scout Salute! The Scout salute is made with the right handin the Scout
sign. The hand is brought up smartly (taking the shortest distance) with the forefinger
touching the edge of the right eyebrow. If wearing a brimmed cap or hat, the
forefinger must touch the brim slightly to side of the right eye. When in uniform, the
salute is rendered as a sign of respect to the flag and the National Anthem. It is also
used between Scouts and Scouters as a sign of courtesy and respect.
We shall now have the presentation of the Senior Scout Medallion to lead by our Sct.
Gomez
Scout Gomez: Fellow Scouts, before you is the symbolic presentation of our Senior
Scout Medallion.
The double S also represents the three (3) sections of the Senior Scout programs
namely the Land, Sea and Air Scouting. It symbolizes the pathways traveled by Land
Scouts as they wind their way through the woods. It also symbolizes the red sails of
sailboats that flaps in the wind as Sea Scouts go into an adventurous voyage along
the coast. So.too, does it symbolizes the flight curvature of spaceships hurling into
infinity as Air Scouts set their sights on a highly challenging odyssey into the future. The
double S is represented in the red for the courageous spirit that Senior Scouts must
exemplify on their joyful journey to a better life.
I shall now call our Scouter De Leon to lead the presentation of the Scout Neckerchief
and the Wooden Carabao Slide before our acceptance and donning ceremony.
Scouter De Leon: My fellow Scouts, before you is the Scout Neckerchief and the
Carabao Slide, allow me to present to you its symbolism before the donning
ceremony.
The Wooden Carabao Head as Slide The symbol of hard work, humility,
perseverance and strength An animal of burden which is so valuable, an asset to
the Filipino farmer. It Exemplifies kindness, friendliness, hospitality, patience and
persistence which are held highly by every Filipino and Our national animal that

prepare yourselves and accept your charge as we request your parents and
guardians to lead the Neckerchief Donning Ceremony.
The Outfit Advisor: May we request all parents and guardians to don the neckerchiefs
of their sons as symbol of acceptance in the Scout Movement.
The Outfit Advisor: And now for the official acceptance, let us all welcome our
