Every family has its own traditions - and the Girl Scout family is no different! Learn "fun" ways to share traditions common to all USA Girl Scouts with your group, then go in depth with the tradition of ceremonies. We'll explore how Girl Scouts at every grade level can plan their own ceremonies, from investiture to bridging and everything in-between: meeting openings and closings, flag ceremonies, awards, rededication (including pinning and membership stars), Scouts' Own, and Girl Scout special days.
