Make big letters (one per page - G,I,R,L,S,C,O,U,T,S) that your girls can hold up as they recite the lines associated with them. I created these letters with a print program on the computer. They were normal page size and I put a border around them. The lines were pasted on the back so that the girls could read them.
We use this letter ceremony with a candle and flag ceremony. However it can be done alone. When we were younger we had a big troop and doing all three parts allowed more girls to participate.
(Girls say letter parts while holding up the letters)
G is for the golden friendships we have made
I is for the interesting trails we have laid
R is for the roads we tread
L is for the loyalty in the Promise said
S is for the service in everything we do
C is for the courtesy often shown to you
O is for the oath we have spoken
U is for the unity close and unbroken
T is for the trefoil worn with pride
S is for the sisters far and wide
Leader:
What's it spell?
Girls response:
GIRL SCOUTS!
Leader or Girl:
Please form a friendship circle and we will sing the song (Make New Friends or When 'ere You Make a Promise are a couple of good ones) and end the ceremony with a friendship squeeze.
