Chief Blackhawk: “Welcome Brothers and sisters, I am Chief Blackhawk of the Blackhawk Scout Tribe. We are gathered here today to pay special homage to those Cub Scouts (Boy Scouts) who took upon themselves to accept Blackhawks challenge. It is not an easy challenge, but those who were strong and able enough to sell $300 in popcorn will be braved tonight. “

You have shown great credit upon yourself and your pack. You have worked hard and deserve the braving feather. Therefore I now call you a brave in the Blackhawk Council Tribe.
