Before the meeting: 

  1. Identify someone in the armed services, active or retired, who can speak to the Cub Scouts about the values along with any mottos or oaths of their branch of service. 
  2. Ask the quest speaker for the proper way to address them by their rank and confirm the branch of military service.  
  3. Research the values, mottos, or oaths of the brank of service your guest speaker is a part of to be familiar with them and how they relate to the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners and share with them that a long time ago in the country of England there were warriors who fought for kings and queens, but they were not ordinary warriors, knights were special because they were expected to live by a code.  A knight was supposed to show bravery, strength, and skill in battle, to respect women, to defend the weak and the poor, to be generous to others and loyal to his lord, his family and his friends.   
  2. Today in England people can still become a knight but it is now a special recognition and title that can be presented to someone by the king or queen of England.  Both women and men are knights.  Women knights in England are referred to as dames.  
  3. In America we have modern day knights.  Men and women of our armed forces are expected to live by a set of values, they have a motto, and take an oath.   
  4. Introduce the guest speaker and have them discuss the values, motto, and oath their branch of service has. 
  5. Allow Cub Scouts and adult partners to ask questions. 
  6. Thank the guest speaker. 
  7. Ask Cub Scouts and adult partners what was similar between the Scout Oath and Law and what the guest speaker shared. 

After the meeting: 

  1. Send speaker a thank you note.
