The Cub Scout ceremonies were developed to provide lodges the ability to assist Cub Scout Packs in conducting appropriate ceremonies marking the transition from a Cub Scout earning their Arrow of Light badge and transitioning to the Scouts BSA program. These are nationally approved ceremonies that are to be performed by Scouts wearing the Scout uniform. These ceremonies may be freely used by any Scouts BSA troop or representative, district or council. If an Order of the Arrow lodge, chapter, or ceremony team is invited to perform, these ceremonies are the only ones authorized to be used.
