Last weekend was our troop's Investiture/Rededication Ceremony. I am so proud of the girls. They did an amazing job! We have 11 kindergarten and 1st grade girls, but only nine girls attended the ceremony. You won't believe it, but they planned the whole thing! Of course, the adults helped! But we just helped them make sure they covered all their bases. They chose the opening, designed and decorated a program for each guest, chose and practiced songs to sing during the ceremony (including a brand new one that they helped each other learn during the day), and divided up the patches and petals they had earned so that each girl could explain one to the guests during the ceremony. They decided by voting that they would serve cake for refreshments and even went to the store to get the ingredients and mixed it themselves. They even created the new banner above! Isn't it nice?
We have a lot to do before our next ceremony, when we get to bridge up to Brownies! We are in the process of selling Girl Scout cookies. We are attending a Thinking Day event, going on a tour of a Fire Station and learning about respecting authority, going to San Agustin, and going to the inaugural Earth Day Festival at the newest GS camp! So keep a look out for more Girl Scout posts coming soon.
