Cubmaster says:
Living Circle Ceremony Great Salt Lake Council I remember learning this ceremony at my first Den Meeting at Mrs. Kneale’s house in September 1957. We still teach it to our dens. CD Based on an Indian custom, the living circle may be used alone or as a part of another ceremony. It reminds a Cub Scout of the fine friendships he is making in Cub Scouting. Hold out your left hand—palm down, and thumb out.
Hold the thumb of the boy on your left and form a connected circle. 
Then say the following as a football team may do after a time out or entering the filed at start of the game. Phonetic spelling of Akela Action Say Raise the circle AH Lower it KAY Raise it LA Lower it WE’LL Raise it DO Lower it OUR Raise it BEST! Release Hands
When we think of being loyal, we think of standing by our country, and our state. We are loyal to our church and our family. We are loyal to our school. When we join Cub Scouts, we pledge our loyalty to our Pack and Den. In all Scouting, the Scout Law and Scout Oath guide the Scouts to help the unit (Pack or troop) go and the unit (Pack or Troop) Pack helps the Cub Scout grow. That’s the key with loyalty. It’s not a one-way street. Your Den and Pack are only as good as you make them. You get out of Scouts what you put in. You give loyalty to those to whom loyalty is due, and they will return loyalty to you. A SCOUT IS LOYAL http://www.macscouter.com/scoutmaste Scouts, what's the second point of the Scout Law? That's right, "A Scout is loyal. " Our Scout handbook explains that a Scout is loyal to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school and nation. I'm going to add one more thing to that list - a Scout is loyal to his team. The team might be his patrol or sports team. Your patrol or soccer team can't be as good as it should be if you goof off a lot or constantly complain about your teammates or your patrol leader or coach. A winning patrol and a winning team, must have a winning attitude. That means that every member must be willing to do his part and not spend time griping because the patrol's plans or the game are not going his way. That doesn't mean that you have to be close friends with everybody in your patrol or team or even like all of them. But it means that when you join, you commit yourself to the success of the patrol or the team and pledge to give it your best effort. In Scouting and sports, it's teamwork that makes winners. So whenever you're with your patrol or sports team, remember, "A Scout is loyal". Scoutmaster Minute - Loyalty http://voluntoldscouter.blogspot.com/ Two famous generals of the Civil War were Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman. Grant, though the younger of the two, and junior to him at West Point, was Sherman’s Commander. As general of the Union Army, Grant commanded several other generals, but he knew that he could trust Sherman with the most difficult tasks. While some Generals needed line-by-line instructions, Sherman only needed to know the objective. Grant could trust him with the details of getting the job done. Grant knew that the only thing to prevent Sherman’s completing the task was a musket ball with Sherman’s name on it. That musket ball didn’t exist. Sherman finished his difficult and unpopular task, and Grant accepted Gen Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House in April of 1865, ending the Civil War. These two men remained loyal to each other throughout their lives: “The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.” – US Grant
General Ulysses S Grant Gen Wm. T. Sherman “Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.” – Gen Wm Sherman I am reminded of another general, in a land far from the battlefields of Tennessee, Virginia and South Carolina, from a time long before. His name was Moroni, and you are all familiar with his struggle against the armies of Lamanites and disloyal Nephites. Like General Grant nearly 2,000 year later, he said, “I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country.” Loyalty is a noble characteristic. As you get older, you will confront some serious choices. When you are faced with a difficult choice, ask yourself, “How will this choice demonstrate my loyalty to my friends, my family, my nation, my Church and my God?” Let it be said of you that you chose to be loyal, like Generals Grant, Sherman and Moroni.
And now may the Great Master of all Cub Scouts Guide and guard our footsteps For today, for tomorrow, And for all the tomorrows to come.
We must stand together – with these four circles. They are powerful forces in our lives, and yet without them, we are unable to sustain life. We must harness the strength and the energy these forces provide for peace in our world. We must find the spiritual power that enables the forces and use it to intensify our own struggle for peace. Each of us carries an energy, and combined with the energies of our friends, our family, our neighbors, our world, we can become one body and one heart striving for peace. And we must continue this path as the sun and the moon and the winds and the earth continue in their paths in the great circle of life. THE AMERICAN’S CREED Santa Clara County Council I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, Justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I, therefore; believe it is my duty to my country to love it; respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. GIVE THEM THE CUB SCOUT SALUTE !!! Great Salt Lake Council 
We will find many heroes within the community this month. Some of them will be the adults that we know. Some of them will be Cub Scouts or even the Boy Scouts. We will search throughout the neighborhood to find someone that would be interested in coming to share some of the things that helped them determine their own destiny. We will also look at our young friends that might be the future leaders of tomorrow, those that show leadership qualities that will put them in positions throughout their lives to become the president of a company or even the United States. We have highlighted some of the heroes that we find in our neighborhood. Our policeman, the firefighters that risk their lives every time they suit up. The mail man is also trained to watch out for the emergencies that might come his way while delivering the mail. The neighbor that would open his door to a young child that might need some help out on the street could be a hero also. We also will be highlighting the women that will be in the lives of the Cub Scouts. They would be the den leaders and perhaps the Cubmaster. Then there is the one special person that is in most every boy’s life, his mother. We are using the cardboard stand-ups and placing a familiar face by enlarging the photo and attaching it in place of the original. Now we have created the “Super Hero” that we want to present. It, of course, could be any one of many people in your area that you have noticed a silent act of heroism that has not been mentioned before. There are many people that just go about their business daily that often respond at a moment's notice to help out someone in distress. We often read in the “Boy’s Life” magazine about the young men that have been prepared in a time of need when the call for help arises and what they have done to save a life. We hope that you will be able to search out some of these people and highlight them for the month.
