Ashes Ceremony

FOUR SPIRITS OPENING
Obtain silence with a raised hand. Each entered from the appropriate compass point and said their reading.
North: I am the spirit of the North where the great game of Guiding began.
South: I am the spirit of the South and I spread the love of Scouting & Guiding to the world.
East : I am the spirit of the East and I spread the friendship of Scouting & Guiding to the world.
West: I am the spirit of the West and I spread the worth of Guiding & Scouting to the world.
All: Together we join in the fire of friendship.
ASHES CEREMONY
Ashes taken from a campfire are sprinkled into the flames of the next campfire. The next morning, when the ashes are cold, they are stirred and each Scout takes some along to mix with her next campfire. "We carry our friendship with us in these ashes from campfires with other comrades in other lands. May the joining of the dead fires with the leaping flames symbolize once more the unbroken chain that binds Scouts and Guides around the world. With greetings from Scouts of the United States, Guiders from Canada, England, and New Zealand, and everywhere."
If more than one Scout brings ashes to the same campfire, the lists are pooled, with the dates and places of all campfires recorded and passed on. It is traditional that only those present at the ceremony carry away ashes from that ceremony.
"Each of you present here will receive a portion of these campfire ashes to keep the chain of sisterhood continuing forever. We hope you will carry these ashes further on the journey around the world, and share them again and again."

Girl Scout Cookie History

Girl Scout Cookies® had their earliest beginnings in the kitchens and ovens of our girl members, with mothers volunteering as technical advisers. The sale of cookies as a way to finance troop activities began as early as 1917, five years after Juliette Gordon Low started Girl Scouting in the United States. The earliest mention of a cookie sale found to date was that of the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, which baked cookies and sold them in its high school cafeteria as a service project in December 1917.
In July 1922, The American Girl magazine, published by Girl Scout national headquarters, featured an article by Florence E. Neil, a local director in Chicago, Illinois. Miss Neil provided a cookie recipe that was given to the council's 2,000 Girl Scouts. She estimated the approximate cost of ingredients for six- to seven-dozen cookies to be 26 to 36 cents. The cookies, she suggested, could be sold by troops for 25 or 30 cents per dozen.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Girl Scouts in different parts of the country continued to bake their own simple sugar cookies with their mothers. These cookies were packaged in wax paper bags, sealed with a sticker, and sold door to door for 25 to 35 cents per dozen.

Chocolate Thin Mint Pizza Supreme

Ingredients
1 pkg. (18 oz.) refrigerated chocolate chunk cookie dough
½ pkg. (19 cookies) Girl Scout Thin Mints
½ cup white chocolate morsels
Vanilla ice cream, optional
Method
Press cookie dough evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. (Dough will barely cover the pan.)
Break Thin Mints into halves or thirds; press cookie pieces into dough, covering evenly.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Place white chocolate morsels into a small self-closing bag. Microwave the bag of morsels on MEDIUM HIGH (70% power) for 40 to 50 seconds or until melted.
Snip one corner (about 1/8 inch) off the bottom of the bag. Hold bag tightly at top and drizzle white chocolate stripes over top of pizza.
When cool, cut pizza into 8 or 10 wedges. If desired, top each serving with a scoop of ice cream.

Ingredients
1 18.25-ounce package Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix
3 tablespoons shortening, melted
½ cup cake flour, measured then sifted
1 egg
3 tablespoons water
Non-stick cooking spray
Coating
3 12-ounce bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
6 tablespoons shortening
Method
Combine the cookie ingredients in a large bowl, adding the water a little bit at a time until the dough forms. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the dough to just under 1/16 of an inch thick. To cut, use a lid from a spice container with a 1 ½ -inch diameter (Schilling brand is good.) Arrange the cut dough rounds on a cookie sheet that is sprayed with a light coating on non-stick spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the wafers from the oven and cool completely.
Combine chocolate chips with peppermint extract and shortening in a large microwave - safe glass or ceramic bow. Heat on 50 percent power for 2 minutes, stir gently, then heat for an addition minute. Stir once again, and if chocolate is not a smooth consistency, continue to zap in microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Use a fork to dip each wafer in the chocolate, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl so that the excess chocolate runs off, and then place the cookies side-by-side on a wax paper - lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm.
Makes 108 cookies.

Cookie Facts: In 1951, Girl Scout Cookies came in three varieties: Sandwich, Shortbread, and Chocolate Mints (now known as Thin Mints). With the advent of the suburbs, Girl Scout Cookies were also sold by girls at tables in shopping malls. By 1956, Girl Scouts sold four basic types of cookies: a vanilla-based filled cookie, a chocolate-based filled one, shortbread, and a chocolate mint. Some bakers also offered an optional flavor.

Cookie Fact: During World War II, sugar, flour, and butter shortages led Girl Scouts to begin selling Girl Scout calendars to raise money for their activities.

Cookie Fact: Thin Mints are the most popular Girl Scout Cookie and the third most popular cookie sold in the United States, behind only Oreos® and Chips Ahoy®.One out of every four boxes of cookies sold by the girls is Thin Mints. The second most popular cookie was the coconut, caramel and chocolate confection ABC calls Caramel deLites.

Cookie Fact: ABC Bakers has been making Girl Scout Cookies since 1938, making it the oldest and most experienced of the three suppliers licensed by Girl Scouts of the USA

Legend has it that Baden-Powell would always take a small amount of ashes from the campfire and spread these ashes into the next campfire Ashes taken from a campfire are sprinkled into the flames of the next campfire. The next morning, when the ashes are cold, they are stirred, and each Guide or Scout takes some along to mix with her/his next campfire. If more than one Guide/Scout brings ashes to the same campfire, the lists are pooled, with the dates and places of all campfires recorded and passed on. It is tradition that only those present at the ceremony may carry the ashes from that ceremony

Vegetable Pizza

Ingredients
2 (8-ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (1-ounce) package dry Ranch-style dressing mix
1 cup fresh broccoli, chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped cauliflower
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Method
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Roll out the crescent roll dough onto a 9x13 inch baking sheet, and pinch together edges to form the pizza crust.
Bake crust for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Once finished cooking, remove crust from oven and let cool 15 minutes without removing it from the baking sheet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and dry Ranch dressing. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust. Arrange broccoli, tomato, green bell pepper, cauliflower, shredded carrots, and Cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer. Chill for one hour, slice and serve.

Ingredients
2 apples,
2 teaspoons of butter
Brown cinnamon and sugar
Method
Peel off the first inch of the apple’s skin.
Remove 3/4 of the core but leave some at the bottom so the filling doesn’t drip out. Fill the empty part of the core with brown sugar, cinnamon and a teaspoon of butter.
Put each apple on a double piece of foil and bring the foil corners to the top, twist and seal. (Do all of this ahead of time and you’ll be less likely to stab yourself.)
Place each apple on the edge of the grate or just touching the edge of the coals for 45-60 minutes.
When the apple is done it should feel soft when you squeeze it.

Famous Girl Scouts: "I think the most enduring lesson I was taught through my experiences of being a Girl Scout was that I was a member of a larger community. I out-grew my uniforms and badges years ago, but the memories of visiting nursing homes or organizing Earth Day tree plantings or my summers camping with girls from all different backgrounds will stay with me always."
--Natalie Merchant, Musician & Girl Scout Alumna
"I feel successful for achieving the career I set out as a goal to achieve. It's very satisfying from a personal, professional, and social standpoint. Flying in space makes it so satisfying. It says it all."
- -Jan Davis, Astronaut & Girl Scout Alumna
"The thing I received from Girl Scouts more than anything else was a sense of real teamwork and working for the community, helping others, and it was not competitive. I remember working as a group to achieve a goal or to help the community. There was a great sense of accomplishment in that."
- -Cathy Rigby, Olympic Gymnast and TV Commentator & Girl Scout Alumna

Girl Scout Fact: A redesigned Girl Scout trefoil was officially launched in 1978 and a three-year campaign to acquaint the public with this new, contemporary identity of Girl Scouting was launched.

CHAIN OF FRIENDSHIP
I’d like to bring an end to strife
and peace on earth to see.
But all I have is one small life,
All I can give is me.
I cannot make all nations join
In peace in every land
But, I can reach out to one friend
An understanding hand.
If each of us, would just reach out,
One hand in friendship plain,
We soon would stretch across the earth,
In one unbroken chain.

In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.
-Margaret Thatcher-

Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
-Charlotte Whitton-

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
the other is gold.
