Ceremonies - Time to Celebrate Girl Scouting

They can celebrate major transitions, such as bridging to another level or getting your Girl Scout pin, commemorate your accomplishment when you earn awards, or simply make the beginning or end of your group's meeting special. You can also plan a ceremony around a theme, such as friendship or nature, which you wish to explore in thought, words or song. Whatever its purpose, every Girl Scout ceremony enables girls to share in a special part of Girl Scout history and create their own special memories. Here are 10 different types •Completing the steps to learn about the next level of Girl Scouts. of ceremonies – in Found pn VTK or in the Girl Scout handbook for each level.

First Four Brownie Meetings
Girl Scout Brownie Sample Meetings (Created by Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois) OBJECTIVE The goal of your first four meetings is to encourage the girls and adults to get to know each other and to learn to function as a troop. Girls will be introduced to the three Brownie Journeys—Brownie Quest, Wonders of Water, and A World of Girls. Girls will also prepare for their investiture and rededication ceremony. INTRODUCTION What follows are basic outlines for your first four Girl Scout Brownie meetings. They are designed to help you get started, and can be changed or modified to fit the needs and interests of the girls. In preparation for the girls’ investiture and rededication ceremony, the su ggested activities relate to the Girl Scout Promise and Law. Note: A few of the beginning activities are repeats of activities found in the Daisy Sample Meetings document. This is because Brownies are not much older than Daisies, and many of them may not have participated as Girl Scout Daisies. If some girls have already completed these activities, invite the girls to help lead the activities. RESOURCES - Suggestions include but are not limited to the following: Brownie Quest Journey Book and Facilitator Guide Wonders of Water “W.O.W.” Journey Book and Facilitator Guide A World of Girls Journey Book and Facilitator Guide The Girls Guide to Girl Scouting for Girl Scout Brownies GSUSA’s Ceremony page www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/ceremonies The girls Your ideas Other adults in your troop The internet HELPFUL HINTS Keep track of girls’ comments and ideas from throughout the meetings.

Brownie Beginnings with Becky "Grandma, Were You One of the First to Go to Brownies?" Asked Becky
Brownie Beginnings with Becky "Grandma, were you one of the first to go to Brownies?" asked Becky. Grandma laughed. "I'm not that old." She sat opposite Becky on the couch with her cup of tea. "But my grandmother was one of the first". "Tell me what it was like then," said Becky. She tucked her legs under her, hopeful Grandma would tell a story. Grandma sipped her tea, and placed her cup on its saucer. "Grandmother Joyce had a best friend called Muriel, who was Lieutenant Colonel Cossgrove's..." Becky butted in, "I know him – he started Girl Guides in New Zealand, didn't he?" "Yes. He was in the Boer War with General Sir Robert Baden Powell..." "Didn't he start Girl Guides in England?" "That's right. He started Boy Scouts first and Colonel Cossgrove did the same here. The Colonel's daughter Muriel wanted him to start a group for girls." "Your grandma's best friend?" "Yes. He listened to her and started the Girl Peace Scouts in 1908..." Becky leaned forward with her elbows on her knees. "The same time as in England?" "Actually, New Zealand was the first to start an all-girl group in the world." Grandma sipped her tea. "Muriel, Joyce and a group of their friends met at a school for their meetings." "Did they have a leader?" "Their scout mistress was Muriel's older sister, Katie. Like the boys they had an oath, a secret sign, a way of shaking hands and their own Scout Law. But unlike the boys they did not whistle – because back then it was 'unladylike'." Becky laughed.

Scouts Cubs Brownies
Scouts During January three of our scouts attended the Australian Jamboree in Brisbane. To the three boys concerned it was the highlight of their scouting lives. They not dniy met scouts from all over Australia and the Pacific region but found out what it was like to camp in a monsoonal downpour. They had many interesting stories and experiences to share with the troop on their return. It is hoped that other scouts will want to attend future Jamborees. Owing to the grave bush fire danger all camping had to be cancelled during Term I, so this restricted our normal activities and for the first time in many years there was no Stradbroke Cup to attend over the Easter BROWNIES weekend. However, we played host to a Back Row (left to right): Amelia Cambrell, Nichola Henderson, Kirri Pless, Jacqueline Storen, Linda Dulmanis, Patrol Leaders weekend held on the school Kirrily Smith, Genni Newnham, Meaghan McDowell, Fiona Shepherd. property.
