Star Scout: Scouts _______________(name), _______ (name), and ___________
(name), you are no longer First Class Scouts. Whether you realize it, by meeting your Star scout requirement you have left the group of those who merely receive Scouting. Tonight you will join a smaller and more significant group - those whose duty and privilege it is to give Scouting to others. As you receive your Star Scout badge, it must be with full realization that you are accepting with that badge the giving of leadership, guidance, and inspiration to younger Scouts.
Star Scout (to Scouter): These Scouts are prepared to take the service pledge with their Scout Oath.
Scouter: Fellow & scouts, you have left behind what may have been the receiving end of Scouting. Before you stretches a worthier, more mature part of your Scouting experience - the giving part. The merit badge trail holds much for a Scout who is earnest and courageous. If you follow this trail far enough, the highest Scouting goal will be yours. Somewhere along the trail you will find manhood in its finest form. Are you willing to accept the responsibilities as well as the privileges that accompany the Star Scout rank?
Candidates: I am.
Scouter: Then retake the Scout Oath. As you utter the words, let your heart repeat a pledge of service to the Scouts who follow where you lead. Scouts, attention! Scout sign. Repeat the Scout Oath.
Candidates: On my honor I will do my best ...
Scouter: Two! Your fellow Scouts congratulate you. You will now face our audience. (Pins badges.) The star I pin on you will always be a reminder of the star of service that will shine as a guide to lead you onward. (Gives Scout handclasp to each.) Congratulations.
