About Scouts

Welcome to the 4th Radlett Scout Troop

Investiture Ceremony

The Investiture ceremony is one of the most important events in a Scout's life and should be treated with respect. It is vital that you are well prepared and aware of the ceremony procedure.

Sometime before the ceremony, your Scout Leader will chat with you about the meaning of the Promise and Law, talk through the ceremony with you and ask if you have any questions.

The ceremony procedure is as follows:

The Troop will be brought to Attention standing at the Alert
Your Patrol Leader will bring you forward to stand in front of the Scout Leader
You will be asked by the Scout Leader if you understand the importance of the Promise and Law and if you wish to formally join the 4th Radlett Scout Troop
The Scout Flag will be lowered
The Scout Leader will place his left hand on the flag and you will place your left hand on the flag
All Scouts and Leaders will make the Scout Sign You will be asked to say the Scout Promise
