The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:

to serve God and my country,

to help people at all times,

and to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be:

honest and fair,

friendly and helpful,

considerate and caring,

courageous and strong, and

responsible for what I say and do,

and to

respect myself and others,

respect authority,

use resources wisely,

make the world a better place, and

be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Songs

Hello (p. 10 Girl Scout Pocket songbook)

Hello, hello, hello, hello,

We are glad to meet you.

We are glad to greet you.

Hello, hello, hello, hello.

Make New Friends (p. 96 – Melinda Carroll Pocket Songbook)

Make new friends but keep the old.

One is silver and the other’s gold.

Whene’er You Make a Promise (p. 6 Girl Scout Pocket songbook; p.161 – Melinda

Carroll Pocket Songbook) Whene’er you make a promise,

Consider well its importance.

And when made, engrave it upon your heart.

(4 Part round)

Brownie Smile Song (p. 67 – Brownie Quest Journey)

I’ve got something in my pocket.

It belongs across my face.

And I keep it very close at hand

In a most convenient place.

I’m sure you couldn’t guess it

If you guessed a long, long while.

So, I’ll take it out and put it on –

It’s a great big Brownie Smile!

The Journey Summit Song (p.32 – Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting - Brownie)

Discover, connect, take action.

Discover, connect, take action.

These are your three leadership keys,

You’ve been called to take the lead.

Courage, confidence, character.

Courage, confidence, character.

Now you’ve reached this mountain peak.

There’s a world for you to seek.

Joining your sisters for ever

Leaving your world much better.

Taking a journey both near and far,

A true Girl Scout is what you are.

Taps (p.130 – Melinda Carroll Pocket Songbook)

Day is done, gone the sun,

From the lake, from the hill, from the sky.

All is well, safely rest.

God is neigh.

Daylight Taps

Thanks and praise, for our days

‘Neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, ‘neath the sky

As we go, this we know,

God is neigh

Games and Ice Breakers Group Juggling

(New games or More New Games)

(small balls, bean bags, or other objects to juggle)

Call name and toss ball to that person. (Not a person opposite you or who has already been called.)

After all have received the ball, tell group to repeat in exact order, or to reverse, or use several objects at staggered times

Rabbit, Palm Tree and Elephant (New Games)

Participants in a circle with IT in center.

IT turns and points to a random person and says rabbit (or elephant or palm tree)

Person pointed at rapidly makes a rabbit face and lifts hands into paw position.

Persons on either side raise the arm nearest center person to form ears.

If someone is slow or wrong, they become IT. Otherwise IT tries again.

Elephant: center person makes a trunk. Either side use both arms to form big round ears.

Palm tree: middle person raises both arms to make fronds. People on either side raise arms and bend their arms (fronds) to side away from center person.

Instant Replay (New Games or More New Games)

Participants stand in a circle.

The first person moves into the circle, stating their name and making a large motion, such as a jumping jack, a pirouette, a deep bow, a big wave, etc. and then steps back.

All then echo the name and make the motion.

The next person steps forward with her motion and name.

All repeat the name and the motion until all have had a turn.

Spot the Lion (Let’s Play, Games for Girls)

(Strip of colored paper with tape)

Group in circle, with eyes closed to start.

Leader moves around circle pretending to place colored paper strip on back on each player, but putting paper on only one person.

Leader shouts, “Spot the lion.” Open eyes. Girls move about trying to see who has the paper strip. If she spots the lion, she sneaks back to circle.

If someone discovers she is the lion, then she roars. Everyone freezes. If she is the lion, anyone still in the circle is “eaten.” Otherwise the game continues.

Linda Lemon (Girlscouts.org)

How to play: Girls make a circle. Tell the girls they are going to the market to purchase something they like, but it must begin with the same letter as their first name. The first girl might say, "My name is Linda, and I am going to the store to buy a lemon." The next girl might say, "My name is Malia, and I am going to the store to get a mango and a lemon." Player three might say, "My name is Naomi, and I am going to the store to buy a nightshirt and a mango and a lemon." The last girl gets to name everything!

Variation: Play shopping bag upset. Have the girls change places and repeat the process from any place in the circle.

Story of Juliette Low Game (Shared with us by Peggy Wheeler)

Divide players into eight groups, each with sound effects:

Little Girls Stand and Giggle

Juliette Low Curtsey and say "Be my Friend"

Georgia

(the state)

Say "Hey, ye all"

Horses Say "Giddy-Up, Giddy-Up"

Lord Baden-

Powell

Bow formally and say "How do you do?"

London Sing phrase, "London Bridge is falling

down"

Boy Scouts Make scout sign and say "Be Prepared"

Girl Scouts Sing or shout “Yea Girl Scouts”

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Juliette Low, who lived in Georgia and loved to ride horses.

After she grew up she went to London where she met Lord Baden-Powell, who founded the Boy Scouts. She

was fascinated by the work he was doing. She studied with him for a while and decided to found a troop of

Girl Scouts for her little friends who liked to ride horses in Georgia. So Juliette Low said good-bye to the Boy

Scouts in London and came home with the idea that Lord Baden-Powell gave her. She formed a group of little

girls who liked to ride horses and be together in a group of Girl Scouts and they loved it so much that the idea

spread and now there are troops all over the world.

Aren't you glad that a little girl, named Juliette Low, from Georgia who liked horses, went to London and met

Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, and came home to start the wonderful world of Girl Scouts?

Note: This game is played somewhat like "Taxicab,” see Games for Girl Scouts. Each time the bolded words recur in the story, girls

will do sound effects as assigned. The reader can be a leader or another girl. The girls may wish to make signs for their groups or

even consider costumes. This is an ice breaker for meetings or when parents are there to participate.

CEREMONIES

Every Girl Scout meeting should have an opening and closing

ceremony. They provide a frame in which to work. An opening

signals to the girls that the meeting has begun and it is time to

get down to business. The closing allows the girls a special

moment at the end of meeting and to say good-bye. Both

ceremonies are usually very short and simple. They will mean

more if they are made up by the troop/group and varied from

meeting to meeting.

Any of the following ideas would be appropriate for either an opening or closing. Two or three

could be combined if a longer ceremony is desired.

1. Opening Ceremony 2. Flag ceremony. 3. Reciting of Promise and Law. 4. Have each girl give an example of how they observed the Girl Scout slogan "Do a Good

Turn Daily" since the last meeting. 5. Sing a song. 6. Recite a poem. 7. Friendship circle with linked hands. 8. Discuss a symbol of Girl Scouting and its meaning:

o Membership Pin - The Uniform o World Trefoil Pin - Trefoil Shape o World Thinking Day Symbol - Girl Scout Sign

9. Scout’s Own ceremony – whatever the girls decide to do

Possible Parts and

Considerations

o Opening

o Introduction or

welcome

o Song

o Poetry

o Quotes

o Promise and law

o Play

o Reflection sharing

o Decorations

o Invitations

o Closing

Make it girl led!

o Girls choose topic.

o Girls plan what goes on.

o Girls do it.

o Girl decide whether to do it again

For more ideas, check out the session outlines in the adult guides to each Journey. There is a planning sheet on

the GSUSA web page: http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/ceremonies/ceremony_planner.pdf.

Special Closings

1. Clean-Up (Good for young girls) o The children skip about the room arranging everything neatly, singing to the tune

of "London Bridge." Weave the magic in and out, in and out, in and out, Weave the magic in and out, we are Girl Scouts. We have tidied everything, everything, everything, We have tidied everything, we are Girl Scouts.

o Finally, the girls line up before the leader who asks, "Is everything finished?" o The children answer: "Everything." o The leader asks: "Is nothing left?" o The children answer: "Nothing!" o The leader says: "Then be gone!" o (Leader can wave a special "good-bye wand" as girls silently tiptoe out.)

2. Magic Tunnel - When hats and coats are on, the Girl Scouts stand in two lines facing each other, raising their arms and holding hands to make an arch. The two farthest from the door go under the arch, then the next two, etc. The tunnel diminishes until the last two go.

3. Good-Bye Song - Tune: "Good Night Ladies" o Good-Bye (name of level...repeat 3 times) o It's sad to see you go. o Note: Can be sung while doing the Magic Tunnel (above).

4. Spread Arm Good-bye Circle - Extend arms sideways at shoulder level, drop halfway to sides, step one pace in and hold hands not with the people on either side of you but with the person next to them. Every other person will be holding hands and the arms will make an interesting zig zag pattern. Sing a good-bye song.

5. Friendship Circle with Friendship Wish - Girls stand in circle with arms crossed right over left and grasping the hands of the person on either side. A designated person starts the passing of the friendship wish by thinking a silent wish and then symbolically passing the wish to the person on her right by squeezing her hand. That girl then thinks her own silent wish and continues the "squeeze". This is repeated until the "squeeze" has gone around the entire circle. When the originator receives the "squeeze" she says, "God Bless the Girl Scouts and Girl Guides everywhere. Goodbye". The girls drop their hands and leave in silence.

Hint: So that the location of the "squeeze" can be identified, have each girl extend her right foot as she passes on her wish.

FLAG CEREMONY

Honoring the American Flag A flag ceremony is a way of showing love and respect for one's country. Flag ceremonies may be used for:

Opening or closing meetings Opening or closing special events Beginning or closing a day Honoring a special occasion or special person Retiring a worn flag

Flag ceremonies may take place in meeting rooms, in outdoor settings, in large auditoriums, on stage, even on

horseback. All flag ceremonies share one thing in common—respect for the flag.

Terms Used in a Flag Ceremony

The color bearer (or flag bearer) is the person who carries the flag. There is one color bearer for each flag used in the ceremony.

The color guard is a team that guards the flags. Any even number of guards may be used, but usually four or six girls are sufficient.

The Girl Scout in-charge (or caller) is a designated Girl Scout who announces or calls each part of the ceremony.

Possible Commands for a Flag Ceremony

"Girl Scouts, attention." Used to announce that the flag ceremony is to begin.

"Color guard advance." This signals the color guard to advance with the flags, or advance to pick up the flags.

"Color Guard, post the colors." This directs the color guard to place the flag in flag standards, or to attach the grommets to a flag pole rope.

"Color guard, honor your flag." The color guard salutes the American flag.

"Please join us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance." (Followed by an appropriate song, quotation or poem, if so desired.)

OR

"Color guard, honor your flag." The color guard salutes the American flag.

"Color guard, retire the colors." This asks the color guard to remove the flag from standards, or to lower the flag, detach from the rope, and fold prior to being dismissed.

"Color guard, dismissed." The color guard leaves in formation, with or without the flag.

11

"Girl Scouts dismissed." Girls may leave in formation or be at ease where they have been standing.

Flag Ceremony Guidelines

Keep it simple. Emphasis should be on respect for the flag rather than on the commands or techniques. Ask these questions when planning:

1. Who will carry the flag? 2. Who will be the color guards? 3. Who will give the directions for the ceremony? 4. What song will be sung? Who will sound the pitch and start the song? 5. Will a poem or quotation be included? Who will say or read it? 6. After the Pledge of Allegiance, will the Promise and the Law be said? 7. In what order will the parts of the ceremony take place? 8. When will the group practice? 9. Where will the flags be placed at the end of the ceremony?

When carried with other flags, our flag is carried on the marching right.

When carried with a line of flags, our flag should be in front of the center of the line.

Do not carry the flag flat. The blue section must always be higher than the bottom of the stripes.

Civilians salute the flag by holding their right hand over their heart.

Everyone should salute the flag whenever it is passing by, is being raised and when it is being lowered.

The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.

When displayed on a stage or other type of elevated platform, our flag is displayed on the speaker’s right (audience’s left). Any other flag should be placed on the left of the speaker of to the right of the audience.

It is the custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on building and on flag staffs in the open. However, the flag may be displayed twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.

Our flag should not be allowed to touch the ground, floor and anything else beneath it.

When the flag is too worn or damaged to be a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

When flown with flags of other countries, they must all be on separate poles of the same height and all flags should be about the same size. In peace time, international usage prohibits displaying one flag above another country’s flag.

Our flag should be at the center and the highest point of the group when a number of flags of states or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed form staffs.

IN 1942 CONGRESS ADOPTED THE FLAG CODE AS A SET OF

SUGGESTIONS TO MAINTAIN RESPECT FOR THE FLAG WITH OUT

INHIBITING ITS WIDESPREAD USE.

The Great Kaper Question

A Kaper is a job that needs doing! This is true at meetings, events, camping or any time there is a need to divide up jobs. Having a Kaper Chart ensures everyone knows what to do and when. It also makes sure all the girls are taking turns with responsibilities and helps to give each girl a chance to participate.

The Kaper chart is a handy tool used for Girl Scout meetings and activities. In troop meetings, it

can be used to clarify which individual, pair, small group, or patrol is responsible for completing a specific job. When used for camping or at events, it saves time and directs everyone to specific jobs and clarifies the “when and who.” Because charts are made according to the needs of the group, it can be useful at any age level.

Involve the girls when making the meeting place chart. They can choose the theme and help make it. Girls can look at the meeting Kaper when they arrive so they know what will be expected of them for that meeting.

Here are some examples of charts. You may want to show the girls some examples of charts and then let them

use their imaginations to create a theme and chart that suits your troop.

This is a great exercise in Discover, Connect, and cooperative learning!

Healthy Snacks In a fast food world, it is important for girls to learn the WHAT, HOW and WHY of healthy eating.

Troop snacks are a good time to introduce and encourage girls to enjoy, prepare and serve healthy

snacks. Plenty of fruits and vegetables along with whole grains and a funny name or two should

delight the girls.

Have girls involved in deciding on having snacks, planning, preparing and serving snacks. After a

discussion with the girls, have them decide whether to serve snacks at meetings. The girls can also

discuss and decide how to provide drinks, plates, napkins and cups.

You might have the girls decorate a “snack basket” with cut out pictures or their drawings of healthy snacks. The basket

can be a box, pail, or other container. The girl who is responsible for snack next meeting will take the basket home as a

reminder. You can attach information to the basket about the number of servings needed, a copy of the snack rotation

the girls come up with and any food allergies to be considered in providing snacks. You will also want to inform the

parents and guardians about the need for troop snacks to be healthy ones.

Sample Recipes

Ants on a Log Celery stalks Take a stalk of celery and fill the center with peanut butter. Peanut butter Place raisins on top. Raisins NOTE: you can also use cream cheese, Cheez Whiz and chocolate chips. Troop’s Own Trail Mix Supplies: Large container, with cover if you want to shake the mixture, or store it out-of-doors. Ladle or large spoon for mixing and serving. Cups or closable plastic bags for servings.

Ask each child to bring ½ to 1 cup of an ingredient for their trail mix. The troop may want to start with a package of cereal as a base for the trail mix. Add all the ingredients to the large bowl and shake or mix. Scoop out individual servings into closable plastic bags or cups.

Avoid chocolate chips or other melt-able ingredients, especially if the weather is warm or you will be in the sun.

Examples of ingredients the girls can bring are:

Breakfast cereals including whole grains, either sweetened or unsweetened

Raisins

mini pretzels

M&M’s

diced dried fruit – apricots, pineapple, bananas, apples, dates

coconut flakes

nuts – check for allergies from girls’ parents or guardians

sunflower/pumpkin seeds

butterscotch or carob chips

GORP - An acronym for "good old raisins and peanuts," GORP is a camping trip staple. More Snack resources: Power snacks, Agent of Change, Adult Guide pages 32-33

Creating and Maintaining a Safe Space

The Girl Scout Research Institute has found that for girls, being emotionally safe

is as important as being physically safe. It also found that when girls feel

emotionally or physically threatened, their quality of life was impaired.1

Ideas shared by other GS Volunteers

Welcome every girl Be positive Use Ice breakers

Treat girls fairly and equally Intervene with bullying or isolating behaviors

Vary activities to appeal to a variety of girls and a variety of learning styles

Help girls adhere to their group agreement

Accept girls for who they are Maintain confidentiality (when appropriate)

Listen to their stories

Truly get to know each girl Make sure meeting place is safe,

accessible and comfortable
