The chairman asks the senior patrol leader to call the names of the new Tenderfoot Scouts. While he is calling the names, two Scouts place a large tenderfoot badge cutout on the wall. This should be placed so that the spotlight, when trained on the Scout receiving the award, it 'will cast his shadow on the badge.
The Scouts who have been called line up at one side of the room or stage. The member of the court of honor who is presenting the Tenderfoot Scout padges steps forward and makes a few appropriate remarks about this rank. The Scoutmaster calls the name of the first Scout to be recognized. He comes forward and steps up on a box or raised latform. The house lights go out and the spotlight comes on. This is a great moment for this Scout every eye is on him as he faces the audience.
The senior patrol leader or scribe helps the scoutmaster who makes the presentations by haveing the badges handy. The Scouter pins the Tenderfoot badge on the pleat of the left pocket and gives the Scout handclasp with the left hand. The scout salutes, the Scouter returns the salute, and the Scout steps down and proceeds to the opposite side of the room or stage, where he stands at attention until all awards for this rank have been made. House lights go on. The audience then gives a rousing round of applause.
Mothers of these Boy Scouts are now called to the age, and each Scout presents his mother with the miniature Tenderfoot badge. Everyone applauds ; mothers and Scouts return to seats. This same procedure is repeated for other ranks, with the appropriate badge placed on the wall.
