Your patrol's cooking area is the kitchen and the patrol dining table is your dining room. The living room is the area in front of your patrol site. Scouts, when we go to our camporee, and later when we are in summer camp, let's remember that our campsite is our home.

In that way, we can show our pride as Americans and our determination to live as free men. That's why I hope that if your family owns a US Flag, you will fly it proudly on Flag Day this year. What is important though, is that you are aware that our flag was born very soon after we became an independent nation, and that millions of men have fought for the flag as our symbol of freedom. It's not very important that you know a lot about our flags history. It wasn't until 1912, 135 years later, that the flag became standardized. You can see pictures of some of them in your handbook. If you remember your flag history, the result was that a lot of different flags appeared during the Revolutionary War. The Continental Congress which made the laws in those days, specified that the flag would have 13 stripes, alternating red and white, and 13 white stars on a blue field.īut that was all the description they gave. Another question, why do we celebrate Flag Day on June 14th.īecause it was on that day in 1777 we got our first official US Flag. Who can tell me what day falls on June 14th? That's right it's Flag Day. Let's all remember that and give a warm welcome when our new Scouts join. to make the promises of Scouting fun and adventure come true for them as well as for older Scouts. I'm sure the graduating Webelos Scouts mean to be loyal to our troop. If you can remember your days as a Webelos, you'll remember that Webelos means "We'll be loyal Scouts". Perhaps each of you could be a buddy to one of the new Scouts to get them started right in Scouting. So I would like all of you - and especially you older Scouts - to go out of your way to help the new kids. Some of you will look like giants to them and if they are a little timid, they are going to be a bit afraid of you. If you ignore them, make fun of them, or haze them, some of them are going to drop out in a hurry. How you treat them during their first couple of meetings and outings with us will determine whether they stay in the troop. It goes without saying that I expect you Scouts to give them a warm welcome. It won't be long now before we'll be adding several new Scouts to this troop - the Webelos Scouts who will be graduating from Cub Scouting.
