Here is what you do. Go to your bathroom or another room with a mirror. Look at yourself in the mirror as much as possible while reading. Try to memorize at least five different lines. Listen to yourself! Try to make your voice conversational while you read. The key is to HEAR what the induction sounds like in your own voice. When you actually read the script in front of the club it will sound natural and more like a speech than a reading assignment.
However, if you read the same script each time your club members will know it, and they will pay an appropriately diminishing amount of attention each time you read it. Instead, just say what is in your heart to a new member about joining Rotary. How about starting with talking about Rotary or about your club?
Then, you might challenge a new member with what they need to do as a new Rotarian. If you want a great list for suggestions for new member requirements, go to Rotary Club Central New Members. The Scout comes forward and the Scoutmaster or other leader gives them the Scout handshake with their left hand, simultaneously presenting the badge attached to the corresponding card with their right hand.
After the presentations, the Scoutmaster proceeds with their Scoutmaster Minute. Providing Additional Information An effective compliment to presenting a badge of rank is the descriptive text on the back of the corresponding BSA Rank Advancement card.
Right before or after the badge is presented, a leader can read this verbatim. In keeping with the guidelines for presenting ceremonies that are free-flowing and personal, a brief rank-related, or for merit badges, merit badge-related anecdote or ad libbed comment can contribute to making the presentation more personal.
The set of Insignia Cards contain a colorful reproduction of each rank and are available from the Supply Division. When a Scout is given a position of responsibility in the Patrol Leaders Council, the troop depends on their willingness, dedication, and skills. This responsibility is a significant step in practicing leadership, and a formal installation ceremony helps communicate to the Scout and their troop how special this opportunity is.
As with any ceremony, each troop can personalize their presentations in anyway they choose. The troop flag in a stand is positioned up front at the center.
The current senior patrol leader calls the newly-elected senior patrol leader forward. They grasp the flagpole with their left hand. Right after all the prerequisites have been completed and it is determined a new boy or boys are serious about joining the troop, a special ceremony can be scheduled, during the meeting or as part of a special gathering.
At the end of these ceremonies, it is customary to present the new Scout with any of the following items or combination thereof: a troop neckerchief, unit and council insignia, their patrol medallion, shoulder loops, a troop T-shirt, a troop hat, a Boy Scout Handbook, etc.
If the troop members each have their own personalized Scout Stave stored at the meeting site, they can retrieve them prior to commencing the ceremony, and the new Scout can also be presented with theirs at the appropriate time. Joining Ceremony 1 This simple ceremony can take place right after the Opening Ceremony, or towards the end of the meeting. Have all the items to be presented laid out and assign individual leaders to distribute them at the appropriate time.
Would the following individual s please come forward name s. It gives me great pleasure to officially welcome you to our troop. Those leaders assigned specific items proceed distributing them to the new Scout s. Joining Ceremony 2 The room is illuminated by a single candle on a table at the front of the room.
Also on the table are two log candelabras, one holding three candles, and the other twelve. The troop is lined up along two sides with junior leaders and adult leaders standing behind the table.
