VI. THE OUTFIT INVESTITURE CEREMONY PROPER

The Outfit Advisor (Villas): “Senior Crew leader, bring the candidates
forward.” (SPL escorts the candidates in front of the stage, facing the
Outfit Advisor, back to audience. SPL stands in front).

Outfit Advisor (Villas): “You have presented yourself before this Outfit and
asked to be made Scouts. Is this your own wish?”

Participants: “Sir, yes sir!”

Outfit Advisor(Villas): “In this ceremony you will be received into this Outfit
and into the world brotherhood of Scouting. Before you is a single, lighted
candle. It represents the Spirit of Scouting. The Scout Ideals as contained in
the Scout Oath and Law present a code for living and a standard of conduct
that must be observed by all members of the Scouting Movement at all times.
Scout spirit is living every day in accordance with our Scout Ideals. You show
it in the way you act and the things you say and do in Scouting as well as in
your daily life. As you become Scouts you will learn more about the Scouting
Spirit. The law of the Outfit is the Scout Law. It is known and followed by
millions of Scouts. You will learn and follow this law, too.

The Senior Crew Leader will now lead the rededication of the Scout Oath &
Law. Participants pledge themselves to the Scout Oath and Law. (The
Lightning of 3 Main Candles which represents 3 Main Duty of a Scout namely
Duty to God and Country, Duty to Others and Duty to Self-followed by the
lightning of 12 candles w/c symbolizes the 12 point of the Scout Law, the 12
candles will be lit by 12 Scouts individually, one at a time after it was
mentioned.) The SPL leads the Scout A, B, & C in reciting the Duties and
lighting of the three (3) main candles. Each Scout/Participant approaches the
single lighted candle and lit their candle and proceeds in the lectern/podium.
Each Scout/Participant reads their part before the audience.

Senior Scout Christian Mark Mangubat: “On my honor, /I will do my best/ to

do my duty/ to God and my Country, the republic of the Philippines
(lights the center candle)

Emcee (Voice Over): On My Honor…Honor is your most precious and

sacred possession in life. It includes your good name, your integrity
and good reputation. When you commit yourself to the Scout Oath,
 you promise to live by its precepts in order to give meaning and
idealism to your way of life. I will Do My Best… In everything you do,
you promise to do the best you can. If anything worth doing is worth
doing at all, it is worth doing well. Doing your best is your personal
challenge. Always strive to do your best in everything you do. To Do
My Duty to God and My Country…We, who belong to the Scout
Movement believe in God. We may not all worship Him in the same
way, but we are one in our faith and belief that He is the Supreme
Being, our Lord and Master. To do your duty to God, you must
worship Him and follow His teaching according to your own religious
beliefs. You will find happiness in life if you faithfully do your duty to
God.

Senior Scout Gerald Peralta: “On my honor/ I will do my best to obey the
Scout Law, and To help other people at all times;/(lights left candle)

Emcee (Voice Over) And to Obey the Scout Law… In trying to live up to the
Scout Oath – you will need the Scout Law to guide you. The twelve
points of the Scout Law are our norm of conduct as we travel along
the Scouting trail through life. Thus, you are asked to commit
yourself to the Scout Oath and Law as your way of life. To Help Other
People at All Times… One reason why Scouting has flourished in this
country is because it has received the willing support of the public.
Scouting merits this support because Scouts have demonstrated that
they are useful members of society. This is evident when Scouts
perform rescue work in case of disaster – fires, earthquakes,
typhoons and floods. During emergencies anywhere, Scouts are
always among the first to volunteer for service and perform tasks
which are ordinarily belong to adults. In normal times, Scouts have
shown that they are ready to participate and even initiate community
and service projects that benefit the community. The spirit of service
is in the heart of all true Scouts.

Senior Scout Laarnie Tulaylay: “On my honor/ I will do my best/ To keep

myself physically strong/ Mentally awake,/ And morally straight.
(Lights right candle).

Emcee (Voice Over) To Keep My Self Physically Strong…By now, you have
learned certain rules of health and hygiene in school which if
observed will help you live a healthy and happy life. Sound minds
 swell in sound bodies. If you want to have an alert mind and be
always ready to serve others, you must keep yourself physically
healthy and strong. Mentally Awake… Being mentally awake reflects
mental alertness and mental health. It is not a enough that a Scout
is physically healthy; he must be mentally awake too. His reflexes,
his responses, his movements must be ready to respond to his needs
and the needs of the situation. And Morally Straight…A Scout always
must be a model of moral uprightness. His norm of conduct must be
beyond reproach. His thought, words and deeds should always
reflect his high ideals and sound moral values.

in the light of these candles, we can see one another well and have
renewed ourselves in the Spirit of the Scout Oath & Scout Law. Now,
I shall call your Senior Crew Leader to lead the recitation of the Senior
Scout Code.

The Senior Crew Leader ( JHA Sta. Cruz): to all our newly invested Senior
Scouts, please raise your right hand in Scout Sign and repeat after
me:

THE SENIOR SCOUT CODE

As a Senior Scout Citizen, I will live the Scout Oath and Law, the Scout
Motto, and the Senior Scout Slogan; I will be familiar with the
Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, especially my rights and
obligations as a Filipino citizen; I will share in the responsibilities of my
home, school, church, neighbourhood, community, and country; I will
deal fairly and kindly with my fellowmen in the spirit of the Scout Law; I
will work to preserve our Filipino heritage, aware that the privileges we
enjoy were won by hard work, sacrifice, clear thinking, and faith of our
forefathers; I will do everything in my power to pass on a better
Philippines to the next generation.
The Senior Crew Leader(JHA Sta. Cruz): I shall now call our Asst. Senior Crew
Leader for the Presentation of the Scout Badge.
The Asst. Senior Crew Leader (MV Salvado): My fellow Scouts, before you is the
Scout Badge. The Scout Badge is composed of the trefoil and the
scroll with an overhand knot attached to it. Each point of the three
pointed trefoil, which is the main part of the Scout Badge, represents
the three points of the Scout Oath, namely – duty to God and
Country, Duty to Others and Duty to Self. The single band joining the
three points of the trefoil symbolizes Unity and Universal
Brotherhood. The design and color inside the trefoil which is derived
from our flag have the same symbolism and meaning. The stars
further symbolize the ideals of faith, truth and knowledge, the
foundation of Scout Citizenship. The Scroll with the Scout Motto
 turned up at its end is a symbolic reminder of the eight point of the
Scout Law, “A Scout is Cheerful.” The rope attached below the scroll
serves as a reminder to the Scout to do a good turn to someone every
day, the slogan being “Do a Good Turn Daily.” As your personal
commitment, do promise to depend and uphold the highest
traditions and noble ideals of the Scout Badge as member of the
World Organization of the Scout Movement and the Boy Scouts of
the Philippines?
Participants: “Sir, Yes, sir!”
The Asst. Senior Crew Leader (MV Salvado): Very well, with that, I’m with you
in this endeavour. I shall now call our Outfit Scribe for the
commitment to the Scout Motto.
The Outfit Scribe (JS Maas): As previously mentioned in the part of the Scout
Badge is the Scout Motto, which is “Laging Handa” or “Be Prepared”.
The motto reminds a Scout of the meaning and purpose of his
membership and the training he gets from Scouting. A Scout is being
prepared and trained for responsible citizenship and servant
leadership. As he requires the necessary knowledge and skills in
Scouting, his mind is conditioned and he is able to offer the same
knowledge and skills not only for himself but in the service of others.
Scouting therefore, is a preparation and readiness to serve others,
hence our Scout Motto “Laging Handa.” Do you accept this motto as
your own and promise to live with it in your daily lives?
Participants: “Sir, Yes, sir!”
The Outfit Scribe (JS Maas): I am glad and happy to hear your commitment to
our Scout Motto. Now, I shall now call our Outfit Quartermaster for
the presentation of the Senior Scout Slogan.
The Outfit Quartermaster (MD Tabor): The Senior Scout Slogan is “Once a Scout
always a Scout”. In the case maybe, our Slogan will be simple
reminder for all us, even though we ceased to be a fine young men -
in this little world, we will always be a Scout not only in uniform but
more so in thoughts, words and deeds. Do you subscribe in our Senior
Scout Slogan?
Participants: “Yes, we are!”
The Outfit Quartermaster (MD Tabor): Very well then, I am one with you, this
slogan – Once a Scout always a Scout, may we always be. I shall now
 call our Outfit Treasurer for the commencement of the Scout Salute
and the Scout Sign.
The Outfit Treasurer (FR Alegre): My fellow Scouts, before us are the Philippine
Flag and the School Flag, and as sign of respect, let us execute the
Scout Sign. The Scout Sign is made with the right hand palm forward
with forefinger, middle and ring pointed upward, the thumb folded
over the little finger. The forearm forms a right angle with the upper
arm which is horizontally in line with the shoulder. The three fingers
pointing upward indicate the three components of the Scout trefoil.
They also signify that a Scout reaches upward to bigger and nobler
Ideals. The thumb and little finger joined together represent the unity
of the Scouting Movement and symbolize the bond of brotherhood
of all Scouts all over the world. The Scout Sign is used by Scouts when
he makes a solemn pledge, while reciting the Scout Oath and Law, as
well as the Panunumpa sa Watawat. It is also used as a greeting or
recognition sign among Scouts and Scouts all over the World. Ready
front! Fellow Scouts, Scout Salute! The Scout salute is made with the
right hand in the Scout sign. The hand is brought up smartly (taking
the shortest distance) with the forefinger touching the edge of the
right eyebrow. If wearing a brimmed cap or hat, the forefinger must
touch the brim slightly to side of the right eye. When in uniform, the
salute is rendered as a sign of respect to the flag and the National
Anthem. It is also used between Scouts and Scouters as a sign of
courtesy and respect. I shall now call our Assistant Outfit Advisor to
lead the presentation of the Scout Neckerchief and the Slide before
our acceptance and donning ceremony.
The Assistant Outfit Advisor (NS Llena): My fellow Scouts, before you is the
Scout Neckerchief and the Slide, allow me to present to you its
symbolism before the donning ceremony. Our Neckerchief
represents as the identity and basic uniform of a Scout…The
Universality of the Scout Movement Serves as many practical
purposes such as Bandage and tourniquet, Signal Flags during
emergencies, In absence of ropes, may also be joined together to be
used as one and Protects the head from the heat of the sun. The
Slide… The symbol of hard work, humility, perseverance and
strength… It Exemplifies kindness, friendliness, hospitality, patience
and persistence which are held highly by every Filipino– that
possesses “good character”, which also render selfless service to all.

VIII. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE GUEST SPEAKER

THE EMCEE: Congratulations to everyone! Now, it’s time for us to reaffirm

the values that we commit to fulfill, with that, allow me to call on
SCOUTER CRISELDA P. LIMPIADO to introduce to you our Guest
Speaker for this afternoon. (The Emcee introduces the Guest Speaker)

IX. THE INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

The Guest Speaker delivers his Speech.

Having been a witness with this kind of ceremony is indeed an inspiration in

itself, what else could I ask for? Now, my beloved Scouts, my message for you
today is a just gentle reminder from the movie Spider Man, recalling the
scene when the old dying Uncle Ben reminded the young Peter Parker, that
with “Great Power Comes Great Responsibility”. Another remarkable line in
the same movie series is when Pater Parker was breaking up with his dream
girl MJ and said “Sometimes to do what is right, we have to give up the things
we want the most, even our dream”. Now, what have these messages got to
do with our Investiture Ceremony? The moment you decided to join the
Scout Movement, you already have acquired the Scouts’ “Great Power”,
having the ability to train oneself in Scout Craft for Skills and Self Reliance,
Citizenship and Character Building. Another great power that comes within is
the very good side of human thought, which is service, the opportunity to
serve other people, be of service to our neighborhood, community and
country. Having all these powers within comes great responsibility, having
great sense of responsibility is an outward sign of servant leadership,
trustworthiness and self-discipline. You may find it difficult to stick and fulfill
our Oath and Law, especially during tough times, and may come across
compromising circumstances. When this time comes, always be reminded
that a Scout has a positive outlook in life, he often look at the bright side of
things instead of the gloomy ones – seeing the glass of water as half full
rather than half empty. As the eight point of the Scout Law reminds us – A
 Scout is Cheerful, despite of difficult situations, he manages to keep his
temper and whistle at life’s challenges. Now, to end, my message let me
share with you another practical guide as we traverse our great journey
called life... The tale is all about the Parable of the Pencil. One day the Pencil
Maker shares 5 most important lessons in life with his pencils. First, always
be reminded that as pencil, whatever you do will always leave a mark.
Secondly, you can always correct the mistakes you made. The third one is
always remember that what matters most is what is inside you. The fourth
one, always remember that in life, you will undergo painful sharpening which
will make you a better pencil. Lastly, is to be the best pencil that you can be
and allow yourselves to be held and guided by the hand that holds. God Bless
us all, Mabuhay Kayong Lahat, Congratulations and Thank you very much!

The Emcee thanks the speaker and calls a Scouter Amir M. Villas to give the
Closing Remarks.

X. THE CLOSING REMARKS

First, I would like to extend my warmest greetings and congratulations to

everyone, especially to our parents and guardians, Scout Officials and my
beloved Scouts. As I carefully observe the ceremony, it was really an eye-
opener and enlightenment at the same. A very timely call to renew our
desirable customs and traditions, morale values and character through
Scouting. Having your commitment to the Scout Ideals shall help strengthen
the moral fiber of our society, with the Scouts as future servant leaders. I
would just like to summarize my remarks in two challenging rules – rule #1 is
to try live up with the ideals of the Scout Oath & Law, with much courage and
perseverance – rule #2, during tough times and challenging years try not to
compromise rule #1. And God, our great Scoutmaster will help you to do it.
Again, congratulations and happy Scouting!

XI. THE CLOSING PRAYER

Let’s bow down our heads, join us and be with our God’s loving presence.
Dear Lord, we thank thee, for gracing our Outfit Investiture Programme. As
this ceremony comes to an end, we humbly beg for your guidance.
Lord, make us TRUSTWORTHY; so we can lead if we can be trusted.
Lord, make us LOYAL; always true and faithful to our God, to our country and
to our fellowmen.
 Lord, make us HELPFUL; teach us to follow what You said: “I did not come to
be served but to serve.”
Lord, make us FRIENDLY; a friend can only be a true friend when he does not
look after his self-interest but the welfare of his friends.
Lord, make us COURTEOUS; You always taught us to be gentle as doves and
to be meek as lambs. Lord, make us KIND; mercy can only be obtained if we
also show mercy to others.
Lord, make us OBEDIENT; our love is better expressed in our obedience to
Your laws, to the laws of our country and the Scout Oath and Law.
Lord, make us CHEERFUL; we can only understand the meaning of happiness
when we have learned to share with others.
Lord, make us THRIFTY; not a miser but one who understands that there is
always a tomorrow to prepare for.
Lord, make us BRAVE; not brave to inflict pain on others but brave to uphold
truth and to abhor lies; brave to do good and brave to avoid wrongs.
Lord, make me CLEAN; for You once said: “Only the clean of heart shall see
God.” Make me clean in thought, in words and in deeds.
Lord, make us REVERENT; Teach me to love You with all my heart, with all my
mind and with all my strength.
Lord, my Scouting started with You, let my Scouting end with You, the Great
Scoutmaster of all. All these we pray in your most holy name. AMEN.
