For the past years, Scouting has always been a partner of the
Department of Education in stilling the desirable values and character
of our beloved students. We shall start this year with high hopes as we

culture of peace as we ground our students for Skills & Self Reliance,

breed of future leaders of our society. Once again, on behalf of (name

advanced, Thank you very much and Mabuhay KayongLahat!

Emcee: Thank you very much ___________________, for such a wonderful

words of welcome and opening our ceremony this afternoon. We shall

(The Session Leader) Outfit Advisor to formally officiate our ceremony.

VI. THE OUTFITINVESTITURE CEREMONY PROPER

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. SPL stands in front).

Outfit Advisor: You have presented yourself before this Outfit and
asked to be made Scouts. Is this your own wish?

Participants: Sir, yes sir!

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 known 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.

Participants pledge themselves to the Scout Oath and 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.
SCOUT A: On my honor, /I will do my best/ to do my duty/ to God and
my Country, the republic of the Philippines (lights the center candle)

On My HonorHonor is your most precious and sacred possession in

life. It includes your good name, your integrity and good reputation.
When you commit yourself to the Scout Oath, you promise to live by
its precepts in order to give meaning and idealism to your way of life.

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.

To Do My Duty to God and My CountryWe, who belong to the

Scout Movement believe in God. We may not all worship Him in the
same way, but we are one in our faith and belief that He is the
supreme Being, our Lord and Master. To do your duty to God, you
must worship Him and follow His teaching according to your own
religious beliefs. You will find happiness in life if you faithfully do your
duty to God.

SCOUT B: 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.

SCOUT C: On my honor/ I will do my best/ To keep myself physically

strong/ Mentally awake,/ And morally straight. (Lights right candle).
 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.

The Outfit Advisor: You have heard the words of the Scout Oath and

and the twelve points of this law as a Scout?

Participants: Yes, we are!

The Outfit Advisor: Do you promise to do your best to live and

pledge yourself to learn and follow the Scout Oath & Law?

Participants: Yes, we are!

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 to lead the recitation of the Senior
Scout Code.

The Senior Crew Leader: to all our newly invested Senior Scouts,
please raise your right hand in Scout Sign and repeat after me:

THE SENIOR SCOUT CODE

As a Senior Scout Citizen,

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;

I will do everything in my power to pass on a better Philippines to the next

generation.

The Senior Crew Leader: I shall now call our Asst. Senior Crew
Leader for the Presentation of the Scout Badge.

The Asst. Senior Crew Leader: 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.

As your personal commitment, do promise to depend and uphold the

highest traditions and noble ideals of the Scout Badge as member of
the World Organization of the Scout Movement and the Boy Scouts of
the Philippines?

Participants: Sir, Yes, sir!

The Asst. Senior Crew Leader: Very well, with that, Im with you in
this endeavour. I shall now call our Outfit Scribe for the commitment to
the Scout Motto.

The Outfit Scribe: 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?

Participants: Sir, Yes, sir!

The Outfit Scribe: I am glad and happy to hear your commitment to

our Scout Motto. Now, I shall now call our Outfit Quartermaster for the
presentation of the Senior Scout Slogan.

The Outfit Quartermaster: 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 subscribe in the our Senior
Scout Slogan?
Participants: Yes, we are!

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 our Outfit Treasurer for the commencement of the Scout Salute and
the Scout Sign.

The Outfit Treasurer: 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 isbrought 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 Senior Crew Leader

The Senior Crew Leader: Fellow Scouts, before you is the symbolic
presentation of our Senior Scout Medallion.

THE SENIOR SCOUT MEDALLION / EMBLEM

It represents all that Senior Scouting stands for. The red double S
letter embossed in a field of gold and represented as a winding road
leading to the distant horizon symbolizes the exciting outdoor trails of
life which a Senior Scout must take in adventure filled journey to good
citizenship. The golden field upon which the double letter S is lain
symbolizes those golden values that every Senior Scout must strive to
possess as he goes through life. The trefoil on the emblem reminds him
that, as a Senior Scout, he belongs to a world-wide brotherhood of
young people committed to a life of selfless service to God, Country
and Fellowmen.

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 Assistant Outfit Advisor to lead the presentation of
the Scout Neckerchief and the Wooden Carabao Slide before our
acceptance and donning ceremony.

The Assistant Outfit Advisor: 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.

ScoutThe Universality of the Scout Movement Serves as many
practical purposes such as Bandage and tourniquet, Signal Flags

THE EMCEE: Congratulations to everyone! Now, its time for us to

reaffirm the values that we commit to fulfill, with that, allow me to
introduce to you our Guest Speaker for this afternoon. He/She is no
 other than _____________________________________________, (designation)
The Emcee introduces the Guest Speaker.

XI. THE INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

The Guest Speaker delivers his/her Speech.

Having been a witness with this kind of ceremony is indeed an

inspiration in itself, what else could I ask for? Now, my beloved Scouts,
my message for you today is a just gentle reminder from the movie
Spider Man, recalling the scene when the old dying Uncle Ben
reminded the young Peter Parker, that with Great Power Comes
Great Responsibility. Another remarkable line in the same movie
series is when Pater Parker was breaking up with his dream girl MJ and
said Sometimes to do what is right, we have to give up the
things we want the most, even our dream. Now, what have
these messages got to do with our Investiture Ceremony? The moment
you decided to join the Scout Movement, you already have acquired
the Scouts Great Power, having the ability to train oneself in Scout
Craft for Skills and Self Reliance, Citizenship and Character Building.
Another great power that comes within is the very good side of human
thought, which is service, the opportunity to serve other people, be of
service to our neighborhood, community and country. Having all these
powers within comes great responsibility, having great sense of
responsibility is an outward sign of servant leadership, trustworthiness
and self-discipline. You may find it difficult to stick and fulfill our Oath
and Law, especially during tough times, and may come across
compromising circumstances. When this time comes, always be
reminded that a Scout has a positive outlook in life, he often look at
the bright side of things instead of the gloomy ones seeing the glass
of water as half full rather than half empty. As the eight point of the
Scout Law reminds us A Scout is Cheerful, despite of difficult
situations, he manages to keep his temper and whistle at lifes
challenges.

Now, to end, my message let me share with you another practical

guide as we traverse our great journey called life... The tale is all about
the Parable of the Pencil. One day the Pencil Maker shares 5 most
important lessons in life with his pencils. First, always be reminded that
as pencil, whatever you do will always leave a mark. Secondly, you can
always correct the mistakes you made. The third one is always
remember that what matters most is what is inside you. The fourth
one, always remember that in life, you will undergo painful sharpening
which will make you a better pencil. Lastly, is to be the best pencil that
you can be and allow yourselves to be held and guided by the hand
that holds. God Bless us all, Mabuhay KayongLahat, Congratulations
and Thank you very much!
The Emcee thanks the speaker and calls a Parent or Guardian (a
member of the Institutional Scouting Committee) to give the Closing
Remarks.
XII. THE CLOSING REMARKS

First, I would like to extend my warmest greetings and congratulations

to everyone, especially to our parents and guardians, Scout Officials
and my beloved Scouts. As I carefully observe the ceremony, it was
really an eye-opener and enlightenment at the same. A very timely call
to renew our desirable customs and traditions, morale values and
character through Scouting. Having your commitment to the Scout
Ideals shall help strengthen the moral fiber of our society, with the
Scouts as future servant leaders.

I would just like to summarize my remarks in two challenging rules

rule #1 is to try live up with the ideals of the Scout Oath & Law, with
much courage and perseverance rule #2, during tough times and
challenging years try not to compromise rule #1. And God, our great
Scoutmaster will help you to do it. Again, congratulations and happy
Scouting.

XIII. THE CLOSING PRAYER

Lets bow down our heads, join us and be with our Gods loving
presence. Dear Lord, we thank thee, for gracing our Outfit Investiture
Programme. As this ceremony comes to an end, we humbly beg for
your guidance.

country and to our fellowmen.

Lord, make us REVERENT; Teach me to love You with all my heart, with
