Grow A Girl Scout Troop (Trail Mix Ceremony)
Girl Scouts come in all colors, from all races around the world. Every Girl
Scout is a sister no matter where she is from, no matter the language she
speaks, no matter the color of her skin. God loves variety, and Girl Scouts are
the colors of the rainbow. (M & M CANDIES)
We have a promise and a law. On our honor, we try to do our best to be fair and
square. (CHEX CEREAL)
Some of us are tall, and some of us are small. When we get together, size
doesn't matter at all. (PRETZEL THINS AND MINI MARSHMALLOWS)
Sometimes we are nutty. We love to joke and play. We'd love to put a Girl Scout
smile into everyone's day. (NUTS) *ask about allergies first
Sometimes we are quiet and thoughtful. We have special gifts of love and caring
to give in service to those who need our help. (GOLDFISH CRACKERS)
When we get together, we seem to make circles. We may sit in circles, play
circle games, make a Friendship Circle. You could say that we are well-rounded.
(CHEERIOS)
When we are busy planning a project, or doing a craft, we pop around until we're
done. (POPCORN)
Girl Scouts respect all living things. The earth is our home and we want to keep
it safe for everyone. (ANIMAL CRACKERS)
Girl Scouts are "chips off the old block". Girl Scouting began in 1912. Since
then we all have been part of an old tradition, and are proud to be part of the
future. (BANANA CHIPS or CHOCOLATE CHIPS)
We get a kick out of wearing our uniforms, learning new things, helping others,
and being together with our friends. (KIX CEREAL)
Young Girl Scouts may be hard to resist because they are fresh, sweet and new.
But the older scout maybe more fun, because she has more experience. (RAISINS)
Welcome to Troop ______ I hope we will have a wonderful year!
