We had 12 new Guides enrolled this week. We started the evening out by practising for our ceremony, and then the parents came and we had the real thing. First, we did a splendid march into horseshoe. Then the new Guides came up and each read a line from the Guiding Law while lighting a candle. When all the candles were lit and the Law had been read, the girls all came up and sang On My Honour behind the candles. Honestly, I don't think any choir could have done better. You were brilliant!
Then each new Guide said her Promise, got her enrollment pin, her certificate and her bookmark, and went back to the horseshoe. We said Taps and then it was time for cake and punch.
Thank you so much to all our wonderful helpers, and welcome to all our new Guides!
For next week
Next week, we are doing our Peace Badge. Most of you attended Remembrance Day ceremonies at your schools on November 11th, so we will be working on peace songs, some craft projects, and some discussions. This badge is part of your first program section You and Guiding.
Please don't forget your dues. Dues help pay for things like badges and cake and craft supplies!
