This ceremony is broken down into 8 different parts. What we always did so that more girls could do things was one girl would light the candle while a different girl said the part.
Have everyone form a horseshoe with candles in the middle on a table or some sort of stand
Use white candle to light the other candles
#1 Leader or girl
The daisy is a symbol of the Girl Scout Movement, which was started by our founder Juliette Gordon Low and began in our country on March 12, 1912. Juliette Low's nickname was Daisy. You are following in her footsteps as you become a unique and caring influence in today and tomorrow's world.

Sing a song here (It's a Small World is a good one)
Note: We placed our colored votive candles in a glass dish that had potpourri in the bottom and placed the white taper candle in the center of this in a candle holder. The glass dish was actualy a fancy quiche plate and this made it look all the nicer.
I know they are doing away with the 5 worlds, but you could probally adapt this cermony some way. Our girls loved to do this cermony and we did it often and always included it as part of our troops own Court of Awards.
