Masters of Ceremony
 To our Scout Officials, Council Scout Executive, My beloved Scouts, Parents and Guardians,
distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen – Good Morning.
First, I would like to extend my warmest welcome and greetings to everyone here at the CAA National
High School - Annex. Being the Institutional Head, it is indeed an honor and pleasure for to welcome
you all and officially opens this year’s 4thOutfit Investiture Ceremony 2019 followed by a Advancement
Camp.
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
formally accept new members in Scouting, with promise to nurture a culture of peace as we ground our
students for Skills & Self Reliance, Citizenship Training and Character Building. All these shall raise-up
new breed of future leaders of our society. Once again, on behalf of CAA National High School – Annex,
please accept our warmest welcome, congratulations in advanced. Thank you very much and Mabuhay
Kayong Lahat!
Emcee: Thank you very much Ma’am Delos Santos for such a wonderful welcome and opening remarks
for our ceremony this morning. We shall now have our Outfit Investiture Ceremony Proper. Let’s all
welcome (The Session Leader) Outfit Advisor to formally officiate our ceremony.
VI. THE OUTFIT INVESTITURE CEREMONY PROPER by Sctr. JOSEPH A. JABEGUERO
Sctr. JABEGUERO: “Senior Crew leader, bring the candidates forward.” (SCL escorts the candidates
in front of the stage, facing the Outfit Advisor, back to audience. SCL stands in front).
Sctr. JABEGUERO: “You have presented yourself before this Outfit and asked to be made Scouts. Is
this your own wish?”
Participants: “Sir, yes sir!”
Sctr. JABEGUERO: “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.
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 12candles 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 Honor…Honor 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
Country…We, 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 Strong…By 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 Straight. A 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.
NARRATION/VOICE OVER OR ASSIGNED TO 12 SELECTED SCOUTS/PARTICIPANTS
EMCEE: The Scout Law. Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient,

Sctr. JABEGUERO: “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?”
Participants: “Yes, we are!”
Sctr. JABEGUERO: “Do you promise to do your best to live and pledge yourself to learn and follow
the Scout Oath & Law?”
Participants: “Yes, we are!”
Sctr. JABEGUERO: “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.
Sctr. GALLOGO: 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, neighborhood, 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.
Sctr. GALLOGO: I shall now call our Asst. Senior Crew Leader for the Presentation of the Scout Badge.
Sctr. GONZALES: 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!”
Sctr. GONZALES: Very well, with that, I’m with you in this endeavor. I shall now call our Outfit Scribe for
the commitment to the Scout Motto.
Sctr. CABIAS: As previously mentioned in the part of the Scout Badge is the Scout Motto, which is “Laging
Handa” 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 “Laging Handa.”
Do you accept this motto as your own and promise to live with it in your daily lives?
Participants: “Sir, Yes, sir!”
Sctr. ARBANIEZ: I am glad and happy to hear your commitment to our Scou tMotto. Now, I shall now call
our Outfit Quartermaster for the presentation of the Senior Scout Slogan.
Sctr. CABIAS: 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
our Senior Scout Slogan?
Participants: “Yes, we are!”
Sctr. CABIAS: 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.
Sctr. GONZALES: 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 fore
finger, 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 Panunumpa sa
Watawat. 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 hand in 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 Senior Crew Leader.
Sctr. Guatlo: 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.

VIII. THE DONNING OF THE NECKERCHIEF by the Parents and Guardians

Sctr. MICHAEL M. LANDRITO: “By the authority vested in me by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines,

XIII. THE CLOSING REMARKS by Sctr. TRIXIA A. PALMOS

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. AsI 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 totry 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.
