(Option) Indians enter to a drum beat.

Meteu: "We are gathered here tonight to honor those Webelos who have earned the Arrow of Light Award. Let us now summon the mighty chief, Akela, to present these awards." Drums beat, Akela enters from the back and stands at Meteu's right. Akela: "My heart is happy, for this night there are those among us who have traveled a long way on the Cub Scouting trail. They have met many new friends, learned many new skills and above all have lived up to the Cub Scout promise and Law of the Pack." "Before continuing this ceremony, let us introduce ourselves. I am Akela - mighty chief. This is Meteu - our medicine man. This is Nutiket - our guard. And this is Kichkinet - the guide of our tribe." Akela: "Oh great medicine man, call upon Wokanda, the Great Spirit above, for guidance -- that we may have wisdom, patience, and understanding as we fulfill our duties throughout this night and the tomorrow; and that each Cub Scout here may be inspired to continue along the path of Scouting." Meteu holds the arrows in honor to the four winds. Meteu: "My friends, let us pray in silence, each in his own fashion -- for only in silence can a man truly find himself." Pause for 10 seconds. Meteu: "The Arrow of Light is not easy to achieve. A boy joins Cub Scouting as a Bobcat. He is weak, frail, and does not fully understand what he is to do. He continues on and soon earns the rank of Wolf. He continues to grow and strive and eventually achieves the rank of Bear. Next the boy, having passed the tests of the tribe, becomes a young brave of the Webelos. He must now earn many activity pins in his quest for the Arrow of Light Award." Akela (or Nutiket): "The Arrow of Light contains an arrow and a sun. The sun may be cosidered a setting sun, signifying the end of the trail of Cub Scouting -- a journey well done. The sun may also be considered a rising sun -- the beginning of Boy Scouting with different adventures." Meteu: (or Kitchkinet): "Akela (Nutiket) has already told you that the Arrow of Light Award contains an arrow. The reason for this is that the arrow is a symbol of leadership. It is straight and its point is keen and when aimed high, its direction is onward and upward. This is truly symbolic of these boys who are about to take their first step in Boy Scouting." Meteu: "If a Webelos is brave and true, his arrow will be strong and straight and if his arrow passes the test, he will be judged worthy to receive the Arrow of Light. If your name be called, stand along with your parents, and await your guide to bring you before the mighty chief Akela." Meteu hands the arrows to Akela, Aketa then calls each Webelos. Akela (to each boy): "If it is your desire, you may cross over the bridge into the world of Boy Scouting." After all the Webelos have been called: Meteu: "It has been done, mighty chief Akela." Akela: "My brothers, as I leave in silence, let me congratulate you, for you have achieved the ultimate in Cub Scouting. But let me remind you to continue on -- for this is only the first plateau of the long trail in Scouting." As drums beat a steady rhythm, the Indians walk out of view.
