Investiture and rededication ceremonies can be done in various ways, and the two can be easily combined for established troops wishing to welcome new members.

Here are a few reminders and ideas:
1. Investiture takes place the first time a girl or adult joins GSing.

The person being invested:

1) Says the GS Promise
2) receives the appropriate GS pin; and
3) is welcomed into GSing.
 

 

Saying the GS Promise can be done individually or as a group, depending on the age of the person(s) being invested. Investiture should be a special time, not a scary one.

 

At this time, Daisies may also receive their beginning certificate.

The girl should understand (as much as possible for her age level) that when she is invested, she is agreeing to subscribe to the values and principals of the GS Promise and Law.

If you have girls/adults rededicating and investing at the same ceremony, do the rededicating first - then those girls and adults can assist with investiture.

3. Be sure that everyone receives and wears only the appropriate GS Pin:

	Daisy GS Pin	worn only by Daisy GSs (age 4/5/6 or Pre-K & Kindergarten)
	Brownie GS Pin	worn only by Brownie GSs (1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade)
	GS Pin - traditional (eagle) - contemporary (three faces)	worn by Junior, Cadette, Senior and Adult GSs
