Investiture Ceremony Poem

These golden trefoils in my hand
Upon our new GS we will bestow
But first the meaning that the trefoil bears
The spirit of our Promise we must know

Three gold leaves that the trefoil wears
Threefold the Promise that it bears
To serve God and your country dear
To bring others hope and cheer

And everyday in every way
The GS Law learn to obey
And yet another message too
These three gold leaves should bring to you

There are three ways each girl should grow
Three sides of life each Scout should know
Your body is the temple of your soul
Oh, GS build it strong and straight and fair

In God’s great out-of-doors your kingdom lies
Health and happiness await you there
In beauty, too, in this great land
Our Father made so fair
Seek long for Beauty, and even more
Make beauty where no beauty was before
