Investiture & Rededication Ceremony (adults, great for SU)

All:   We, the members of Girl Scouts of the United States of America, united by a belief in God and by acceptance of the Girl Scout Promise and Law, Do dedicate ourselves to the purpose of inspiring girls with the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, and service that they may become happy and resourceful citizens.

       We are grateful for this opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the service of the youth who will guide the world in the years to come.

1st person:  Grant us joy and satisfaction in Girl Scout leadership and give us the imagination to see the world through the eyes of the girls we lead. 

2nd person:  Grant us the vision of what these girls we lead may become

3rd person: Give us the patience and wisdom to guide the very young ones in the paths of simple goodness according tio their understanding.

5th person:  Help us to bind them together with strong ties of love and understanding, with fun and activity and accomplishments so they will return to us year after year.

6th person:  Grant that we may nurture in them awareness of the sisterhood of women, and the challenge of the great adult world before them.

7th person:  Do not let them fall away, but rather increase in number, for these are their most significant years.
