Best Wolf Rank Ceremony ever?

[CNYScouter]

I have been asked to put together the Wolf Rank Ceremony for our Cub Pack.

 

What is the best ceremony for Wolf (or any Cub Scout Rank you have seen?

 

And if you could pass along a script that would be great also.

 

Thanks

The best ceremonies are sometimes the simplest.

 

When I was CM the "painted face/arm/hand" ceremony was usually a good one for wolf.

 

Google search it and modify it to fit your Pack.

[ScoutNut]

Yep, they like to be painted.

 

Any of the "magic" ceremonies (glowing, changing colors, foaming "bones", etc) go over big also, especially if they have never seen them before.

 

[CNYScouter]

I have never heard of foaming "bones".

 

How do you make these?

[ScoutNut]

From the "Bobcat Bones" ceremony. Baking soda is the powdered bones of the Bobcat, Wolf, Bear, whatever. Vinegar is the "magic water" from someplace special. When mixed together, if the Scouts are truly worthy, the spirit of the Bobcat, Wolf, Bear, whatever, will be released.

 

I use one container for the entire den, instead of a small container for each Scout. Less chance of the Scouts getting anything on themselves.

 

Practice at home to get the optimal amount of baking soda vs vinegar to get a result that is easy for everyone to see, but not all over the floor (does not take a lot of each).

Sounds like a lot of fun.

 

How do you make the bones? Do you dust chicken bones or press form the baking soda into bones somehow? More info please.

It appears the ScoutNut said the baking soda was the "powdered bones." So perhaps these were pre-smashed and prepared by Meteu the Medicine Man in his Lodge on the Deleware River.

Although figuring out a method making it like actual bones would be cool.
