SETTING:
[Room is darkened except for
the red, white, and blue candles. One Scout is assigned to extinguish each
of them.]
SCOUT 1: As I put out
this white candle, representing purity, may we be ever mindful of the
obligation that a Scout is clean. He is clean in body and thought, stands
for clean speech, clean sports, clean habits, and travels with a moral
crowd.
SCOUT 2: As I put out
this blue candle, representing loyalty, may we be ever mindful of the
obligation that a Scout is loyal. He is loyal to all to whom loyalty is
due: his Scout leaders, his home, his parents, and his country.
SCOUT 3: As I put out
this red candle, representing courage and sacrifice, may we be ever mindful
of our obligation that a Scout is brave. He has the courage to face danger
in spite of fear, and to stand up for the right against the coaxing of
friends and the jeers or threats of enemies, and defeat does not down
him.
MC: This court of honor
is now closed.
