Investiture & Bridging Ceremony 2013

Today was a very exciting day for all of our new girls who were being invested into Girl Scout Troop 457, and for all our Brownies that were receiving their Brownie Wings and moving onto Juniors! The event started with a rainbow sand art craft, followed by refreshments for all! To begin the Ceremony, the girls introduced themselves and told a little bit about who they are. A few poems were read, we recited the Promise and lit 3 candles. After all of the new girls were invested, we recited the Law and lit 10 more candles. Each Brownie made her way up a tall staircase lined with rainbow balloons to receive her Brownie Wings and new Junior uniform! After cheers and dozens of group photos were snapped, we celebrated the event with cake! Hopefully this ceremony will be one that the girls of Troop 457 will remember forever! Congrats girls..you all did a great job during the ceremony!

Meeting #25 - First Meeting of the 2013 - 2014 Year

Today was the first meeting of the 2013 - 2014 year! The girls made their Kaper Charts, we planned the Investiture and Bridging Ceremony, and they designed their plates for our upcoming November and May camp outs. We took a bubble break and then made a Girl Scout promise and law bracelet. The Juniors had their first task as leaders - explaining and showing the Daisies how we end each meeting with our traditional Girl Scout circle.
