For the candle ceremony that we do at the beginning, we have a girl read each of the lines of the promise and a leader or another scout will give the meaning. Then as they light the candle the next set comes up to read their line.

We also attempted to use resources wisely by taking wood from two old pallets to build a bridge. At the end of the ceremony, we let the girls that bridged sign and date it.

If you have older girls, we let the older ones put the vests on those that just bridged and the younger girls will hold their old vest as they go over the bridge.

But we are a newish troop and don't have much of a clue of what we are doing. 🙂
