Life - simple Ceremony

This Ceremony is meant for Life scouts.

Scoutmaster: Candidate, the heart has always been an emblem of courage, strength, and service to others. Indeed, it is the emblem of life itself. You are now entering the final steep and rocky trail that leads to the summit - the rank of Eagle Scout.

This Life Scout heart symbolizes the strength and courage that you will need to scale the final heights, at last to join the great brotherhood of Eagle Scouts.

It also reminds you to keep yourself physically strong, mentally awake, morally straight, and to be of service to others. Are you now prepared to meet these obligations?

Candidate: I am.

Scoutmaster: This court of honor finds you qualified for the rank of Life Scout. The rank of Eagle awaits you as you continue on the trail of scouting. As I present you this rank of Life Scout, may the red heart of the badge be a constant reminder of the fine things you have received from Scouting and of the fine things you carry in your heart as a pledge to Scouting and your fellow man.
