Wolf to Bear Graduation

CM: Hey ASM, where’s that rope

ACM: Rope? What do you need a rope for?

CM: Don’t you remember? If you’re going to hunt for BAHR, you need a rope.

ACM: A BAHR hunt?! Well, you’ll need more than just a rope to catch a BAHR! You’ll need motivation!

CM: That right, but I think we can help you. Everybody up.

Begin clapping and sing the following song.

Goin' on a BAHR hunt.

I'm not afraid.

Goin to catch a big one.

What's that up ahead?

Mud!

Can't go over it.

Can't go under it.

Can't go around it.

Gotta go through it. [Make sloshing sounds and move hands as if slogging.]

Following verses:

Sticks. [Snap fingers.]

Tree. [Make gestures climbing up and down.]

Gate. [Make gate-opening gestures.]

River. [Make swimming gestures.]

Cave. [Go in it and find bear. Reverse all motions quickly to get home.

During the song, Tim is searching all over gym for Bears, on last verse, he finds them, puts rope around them and brings them up front – one at a time.

CM: Would the parents of these new Scouts please come up and join their sons.

Wolves, you have worked hard on your journey thus far, but the journey is not over. You are now ready for a new challenge - that of the Bear. We will now present to you the scarf and handbook of the bear scout. Please present these to your sons.

Bears, congratulations and keep up the good work as you work on your Bear achievements.
