Equipment: Large cardboard rocket ship - divide into 8 parts plus a fuse.

Sayings written on back of each.

Den Leader: The Cub Scouts of Den ___ drew up plans for a rocket so they could take a safe trip into space. Now they are going to build the rocket for you in case you want to go along with them on this journey into outer space. Here they come with their parts! (Boys enter one at a time and repeat their lines in order.)

C: is the part we build on, and it stands for courtesy in Cub Scouting and all through life.

U: is next. This part stands for unity, because united we are strong.

B: is then added. That stands for bravery in all our thoughts and all our deeds.

S: is next and that stands for safety.We learn about safety and apply it to everything.

C: adds some more and it stands for church – the one of your choice.

O: is building this stronger. It stands for outdoor life which is fun and healthy.

U: is near the finish and stands for usefulness to ourselves and to others.

T: is the nose that guides us. It stands for truth in all things.

Den Leader: Anyone knows the fuse is necessary to light and send this rocket on its way. (DL puts the fuse to the first Cub.) We are on our way. Everything’s a-ok.

Ready for lift-off! Fire! (Cub Scout #8 leads and they walk off stage, still keeping the parts in the proper order.)
