Core Features

As with the investiture ceremony, the transition ceremony should have core features that provide a memorable experience for all members of the Unit, particularly the transitioning Scout.

Transition ceremonies should:

Involve both the Scouts' previous Unit and their new Unit
Mark the journey from one Section to the next
Help inspire younger Scouts to continue their Scouting journey to the next Section
Be youth-led in a developmentally appropriate way
Not be drawn-out – 10 minutes is a good length of time for the ceremony itself
Help the new member feel part of something special!

Remember the overall symbolic framework One Program, One Journey: it’s recommended that you draw from your Section’s motto as inspiration for these ceremonies.

Joey Scouts: Discover adventure

Cub Scouts: Create the path

Scouts: Explore the unknown

Venturer Scouts: Look wide

Rover Scouts: Beyond the horizon
