Review the online activity information which covers:
What is a moving on ceremony?
When they’re ready to move on from Cubs to Scouts, people usually complete their Moving On Award (Cubs to Scouts).

Preparing for the ceremony
The ceremony usually involves both the Cub Pack and Scout Troop

The moving on ceremony
What a moving on ceremony looks and feels like is up to you.

Celebrate
A moving on ceremony should celebrate a Cub Scout’s time in their Pack.

Welcome
A moving on ceremony is also about welcoming a new Scout to their Troop.

Journey
Finally, a moving on ceremony should remind everyone that Scouts is a journey.

Instructions

What a moving on ceremony looks and feels like is up to you. Maybe you have old traditions that have been handed down, or maybe the Pack and Troop would like to start something new together. There’s no one way to get it right, as long as you include the main features: celebrate, welcome, and journey. If you get really stuck, we’ve included one example – but this is a great chance for everyone in your Group to create something special and meaningful together.

An example ceremony is included in the attachment file.

An alternative ceremony could be:
1. Cubs stand in their Sixes, Cub Leaders stand at one end of the hall, Scout Leaders and Scouts stand at the other end of the hall.
2. Flag Bearers to be positioned together by Scout Leaders,
3. Cubs moving up to Scouts will be called up by Cub leader and asked to go round and shake the hands of all the cubs then the Cub leaders/Helpers.
4. Cubs will then be presented with the moving on award by Cub Leader. (Cub Leaders to say a few words).
5. The New Scouts will then walk to the Scout Leader/s and shake their hands and the Scouts hands and join the Scout Patrol. (Parents can take pictures whilst this all happens)
