CEREMONY CELEBRATION

Our troop meeting this week entailed a combination of ceremonies to honor our girls from last year and our new girls from this year. It is a Girl Scout tradition to hold ceremonies for special events~ Flag Ceremony, Bridging, Investiture, and Rededication. This troop meeting was the first time our troop had any of these ceremonies and the girls did great!

Any under shirt or bottoms may be worn with the vest or sash. Please encourage your Girl Scout to wear their uniform to every troop meeting and any Girl Scouting event.
