Friendship Circle with Wish Passing

Girl Scouts in a Friendship Circle.

Girls cross their arms right over left, holding each other's hands. Designate a person to start the wish. Have that person make a wish and then squeeze the hand of the person on her left. As each girl does this, she also slides her right foot forward to signify that she had made her wish. This continues around the circle until everybody has had a turn. At that time everyone says, "Good night, Girl Scouts," turns under her right arm, drops hands, and leaves.

Note: When expecting a new girl in your troop you can leave the circle open, stating there is always room for one more Girl Scout. Also, by leaving the circle open you are thinking about Girl Scouts and Girl Guides who can't be with you. First form your circle. Then say, "Our circle symbolizes the unbroken chain of friendship with Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world. Now we will open our circle, making a space for a Girl Scout who could not be with us tonight, We always have room for a sister Girl Scout."
