A table is set up with one large green candle in the center. Five candles are on either side of the green candle. (Use two each or red, orange, yellow, blue and purple.)
Introduction:
This green candle is a symbol of the Girl Scout movement which was started by our founder, Juliette Gordon Low and began in our country on March 12, 1912. Juliette Low’s nickname was Daisy. By joining Girl Scouts of the USA you are following in her footsteps as you become a unique and caring influence in today and tomorrow’s world. These candles represent the five Worlds of Interest which make up the Girl Scout program.
Girl Scout #1 (Recite while lighting the red candles)
The red candles are for the World of Well-Being, which helps
young women understand themselves, their values, needs,
emotions and strengths, while also being aware of what it takes
to be physically fit.
Girl Scout #2 (Recite while lighting the orange candles)
The orange candles are for the World of Today and Tomorrow
which lets a young woman look into the how and why of things,
solve problems and recognize the ways in which her present
interests can build future ones.
Girl Scout #3 (Recite while lighting the yellow candles)
The yellow candles are for the World of the Out-of-Doors.
Explorations in this world can help a young woman to
appreciate her natural enviroment and to take actions to protect
and preserve her world.
Girl Scout #4 (Recite while lighting the blue candles)
The blue candles are for the World of People. This world can
help a young woman to build pride in her own heritage, while
appreciating the uniqueness of each culture and the common
themes of all cultures.
Girl Scout #5 (Recite while lighting the purple candles)
The purple candles are for the World of the Arts. This world
can help develop a personal appreciation for the many art
forms and things of beauty in the world around us.
ALL: From the light of the five worlds, may your Girl Scout years be ever bright.
