Cuon Scout Group - Rover Scout Crew
Investiture Ceremony
MC: Next on our programme is the investiture ceremony for the Cuon Scout
Group – Rover Scout Crew. After today, these newly invested Rover
Scouts will take on the responsibility of guiding and mentoring the
younger Scouts. Hence, may I invite GSL Mr Latiff to invest these squires
into the Knighthood of Rovering.
Fellow Rovers will come forward.
GSL: Have you come with a desire to become a Rover Scout in our worldwide
Brotherhood?
Squires: I have.
GSL: In spite of any difficulties you have had in the past, are you now
determined to do your best to be honorable, truthful, clean in what you
think, in what you say, in all that you do?
Squires: I am.

GSL: Do you understand that service means that at all times you will be good-
natured towards all other people and will do your best to help them, even
though it may not be convenient or pleasant or safe for you, and that you
will expect no reward for so doing?
Squires: I do.
MC: In ancient times, it was the custom of those about to become Knights to be
laid with water, in token of the washing away of past misdeeds and as a
sign that they were determined to commence afresh. Our Rovers will now
in your presence show their commitment the same way as the Knights.
[Rovers move forward to wash their hands]
[Flag bearers bring out flag]
GSL: Are you ready to re-new your Scout Promise? Bearing in mind that you
are expected to interpret it not from a boy’s point of view, but from that of
an adult.
[Recite promise, left hand on flag, Scout sign on the right hand]
MC: By virtue of the authority vested in Mr Latiff as the GSL, he shall now dub
[names], as Rover Scouts.

[GSL begins knighting after everyone kneels, rovers rise after GSL places back the
sword]
GSL: I trust you on you honor to keep you promise and give you the buffet
which the knights of old received to remind you, as it did them, that you
have one tender point, namely your Honor, nothing should be more
quickly left than an imputation against it. With the invited guests as our
witnesses, I welcome you into the Fellowship of the Open Air and Service.
[Rovers March Off]
[The candidate advances and at the same time two Rover Scouts step forward with
the Group Flag in their hands and lowers it between the Rover Leader and the
candidate, who takes hold of the flag with his left hand and makes the Scout sign
with his right]
Candidate: On my honor, I promise that I will do my best,
To do my duty to God, and the Republic of Singapore,
To help other people, and
To keep the Scout Law.

[The Rover Scout Leader then takes the new Rover Scout by the left hand and gives
him a buffet on the left shoulder with the right hand, saying:]
Leader: I trust you on your honor to keep your Promise and give you the buffet
which the knights of old received to remind you, as it did them, that you
have one tender point, namely your Honor; nothing should be more
quickly left than an imputation against it.
[After which, the Rover Scout Leader presents him with the Scout Badge. The unit
closes in round the new Rover Scout, shaking him by the hand and giving him a
welcome]
