Description

This is the most common meaning of "investment" within Scouting. It is a ceremony where a new member, whether a Beaver, Cub, Scout, or Explorer, is formally welcomed into the Scout movement. During the investiture, the new member makes their Scout Promise. This is a commitment to do their best, to do their duty to God and the King, to help other people, and to keep the Scout Law. There are different versions of the Promise that members can choose from to reflect their personal beliefs.

The ceremony is a significant moment in a Scout's journey, marking their official entry into the worldwide family of Scouts. It is often a proud moment for the new member and their family, who may be invited to attend. The new member is typically presented with their Group scarf (neckerchief) and badges, including the World Membership Badge.
