Girl Scout Ceremonies
Ceremonies mark special Girl Scout activities throughout the year. They can celebrate transitions such as bridging to another level, getting your Girl Scout pin, or commemorating accomplishments when awards are earned. Whatever its purpose, every Girl Scout ceremony enables girls to share in a special part of Girl Scout history and create their own special memories.
Following is a list of some of our leaders' favorites. Please click on the ceremony to get more details.
There are hundreds available by searching the web.
