We would love for you to record your Scout in full uniform (Class A) reciting the pledge of allegiance, Scout Oath, Scout Law and an invocation. Please film the video on landscape and in good lighting. Make sure it is quiet in the background as well. We will then be taking the videos submitted and creating our opening ceremony. We can't wait to see the videos you create. 

Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, November 12, 2022.
