| BRIDGING TO SENIORS-2 The speaking parts can be split up into a few more parts if you he more girls available. This ceremony can be adapted to bridge girls into Adult Scouting with a few wording changes. SENIOR SCOUT: Tonight we Seniors celebrate with these Cadetts who are ready to bridge into Senior Girl Scouting. It is our aim during this evening to see that you have a glimpse into the different options of the Senior Girl Scouting program and that we can get to know each other. We know that you have prepared yourselves well and will want to use your ecperiences to extend your knowledge and to explore new interests. We now too, that you will adhere to the belief in the Girl Scout Promise and Law which underlies the activities in the Senior program. May we all repeat the Girl Scout Promise and Law together (Girls recite Promise and Law). SECOND SENIOR SCOUT: There are so many worlds to explore! There is the world of yourself, partly known, but still full of mysteries and surprises. There is the world of people, like you and unlike you, girls and boys, men and women, little children and senior citizens. There is the world of the outdoors, and there are the worlds of laughter, beauty, career, and growing up to be a woman. THIRD SENIOR SCOUT: It now gives us much pleasure to present you with a gift to represent your bridging from Cadettes to Seniors. As your name is called, will you please come forwad to receive your gift (All girls receive a gift at this time). FOURTH SENIOR SCOUT: Let us be friends in everything of duty and of play and in whatever other deeds we do from day to day. Let us be kind and generous to those who cross our path and not allow ourselves to live in jealousy or wrath. Let us consider what we hve and how much we can spare to spread the sunshine with us to others everywhere. For, after all, our happiness to some degree depends on how we go about the task of comforting our friends. So let us follow friendliness with every step we take and do some worthy deed each day for someone else's sake. Close with an appropriate song. GIFT IDEAS: Daisies, Yellow Roses, Personalized I.D. pin, Membership star, Part of Senior Uniform, Certificate, Bridging Patch. |
