Candlelight Rededication

Materials: 9 candles, 3 for promise, plus six for value statements

Leader: Today (or tonight) we came in silence as we rededicate ourselves to Scouting. We light three candles signifying the three parts of our Promise as together we renew it.

All: On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

Leader: Our opportunity comes to us through value - the right to grow through our experience in the Promise and Law. This candle becomes a bright as we realize our golden opportunities. (light candle)

Adult: On my honor I will TRY. I cannot succeed if I do not try. So I will try, I may not always succeed but I will grow with every new experience as I put into practice the Promise and Law.

Leader: Our goal is to help girls be good citizens today and active citizens tomorrow. (light candle)

Adult: I am proud of God and my country. And on my honor I will try to serve God, my country, and help people at all times to the best of my ability.

Leader: The Scout loves her country and has knowledge of it's relationship to the world. (light candle)

Adult: All women are sisters. We learn that there are many likenesses in all people, but where there are differences we gain exciting opportunities of understanding.

Leader: The pathway of Girl Scouting grows broader and other people become involved. (light candle)

Adult: Others need me. It is good to know that I have skills and knowledge, which can make someone else happier.

Leader: Opportunities to develop into a more capable person are given to the Girl Scout as she assumes her role in the troop and in her patrol. (light candle)

Adult: I am a link in the golden chain of Girl Scouting. It can be no stronger than each link.

Leader: Each Scout is an individual and by keeping herself forever fit, she is better ready to serve others and to enjoy everyday living. (light candle)

Adult: It is my privilege to keep myself physically fit, to live with kind thoughts and unselfish deeds and to keep myself morally strong.

Leader: And so the light grows brighter as it now fills this room and these hearts with the flame of accomplishment.

Pin new leaders, having them each repeat the Promise, if desired.
