SKIT: POT OF BLUE AND GOLD
QUIZ SHOW
Characters: Quizmaster and Dumpty,
both in street clothing; one Cub Scout in
uniform; two boys in security guard uni-
forms.
Props: Pot of blue and gold, labeled "Pot
of Blue and Gold"; box with a key; enve-
lope.
QUIZMASTER: Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen. This is the Pot of Blue and Gold
Quiz Show where everyone can win. As you
know, we have a contestant from last week
who won the silver lining and is now trying
for the Pot of Blue and Gold. Please wel-
come back Mr. Cub Scout. (Boy in Cub
Scout uniform comes on stage.) Mr. Dumpty,
please bring in the questions.
DUMPTY (enters carrying "locked" box, es-
corted by two guards): Here you are, Mr.
Quizmaster.
QUIZMASTER: As you can see, we keep
our questions under lock and key. Now,
Mr. Cub Scout, please reach in the box and
select a question.
CUB SCOUT (reaches into box and looks
puzzled): The box is empty!
QUIZMASTER: Impossible! Can you ex-
plain this, Mr. Dumpty?
DUMPTY: Yes, Mr. Quizmaster. You have
the only key, so I couldn't put the questions
in the box.
CUBMASTER Oh, I forgot. (Pulls envelope
from pocket.) You can go now, Mr. Dumpty.
(Dumpty and guards exit.) Are you ready,
Mr. Cub Scout?
CUB SCOUT: I am always prepared!
QUIZMASTER: Good. You must answer
three questions to win the Pot of Blue and
Gold. The first one is: What is the best part
of Cub Scouting?
CUB SCOUT: That's easy! The fun at den
and pack meetings!
QUIZMASTER Correct! Now, the second
question. Who was the founder of the Boy
Scouts?
CUB SCOUT: Oh, I know that—Lord
Baden-Powell.

Decorate as desired.
QUIZMASTER That's right. Just one more
correct answer and you win the grand prize.
Who does the Cub Scout follow?
CUB SCOUT: The Cub Scout follows
Akela!
QUIZMASTER Congratulations! You have
just won the Pot of Blue and Gold, and all
the fun that goes with Cub Scouting. (The
two exit arm in arm, with the Cub Scout car-

THE THIRD BRANCH OF CUB
SCOUTING LEADER RECOGNITION
The blue and gold banquet is an excel-
lent time to recognize the pack's adult lead-
ers.
Equipment: Three tree branches, each
approximately two feet long; binder twine
or cord; Leader Appreciation Certificates,
No. 33755.
Personnel: Chartered organization repre-
sentative; leaders to be recognized. (You
might honor all leaders or only those with
two, three, or four years of service.)
CHARTERED ORGANIZATION REPRE-
SENTATIVE (ilashing two branches togeth-
er): You have heard many times that Cub
Scouting is a family program. To be suc-
cessful, our pack needs active, concerned
parents as well as boys. So here I have
those two elements—one branch represent-
ing the boys and one the parents. But it
won't stand, will it?
That's because one element is missing. I
will add it now. (Makes tripod by lashing
third branch to the others.) Now our tripod
is complete—boys, parents, and leaders.
As Webelos Scouts who have earned the
Engineer activity badge know, a triangle is
a very strong structure.
Our pack is strong, too, because our
leaders are dedicated and faithful. And so it
is a pleasure to honor them tonight.
{Speaks briefly about the service of each
leader while presenting the certificate. Ends
by calling upon the pack to give the leaders
three big "Hows!")

("Theme of Brahms s "Cradle Song")
CLOSING SONG. The song above,
which is sung to the tune of
Brahms's "Cradle Song," was writ-
ten by Ernest Thompson Seton, an
early leader of the Boy Scouts of
America. His Woodcraft Indians—
boys who were in an organization
that preceded the BSA—sang it at
their meetings.
FEBRUARY PACK LEADERS' MEET-
ING. The pack's adult leaders should meet
about a week before the banquet to check
final details and to outline den and pack ac-
tivities for March.
Conduct the Unit Leadership Enhance-
ment that bests meets the needs of your
pack.
