Gift Ceremony

Contributed by Debbee DeWitt

Now we have one more thing to give you - a tiny little box.

The wrapping may be a bit wrinkled and the ribbon may not be quite perfect - but its whats INSIDE that counts!

Just like the dime, you have to put something with it to make it really worthwhile.

Now, you won’t be receiving all of your gift at one time. We hope to give it to you over a period of many years, in small doses and as painlessly as possible!

We want to give you Girl Scouting!!!

With this gift we also give you our hopes that you will learn from it, grow with it, work with it, use it everyday, enjoy all of it and keep it with you for the rest of your life!

Now, New Girl Scouts and Old Girl Scouts alike, let us all join together in the Girl Scout Promise.

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.

As we’re sure you have already noticed the little gift that we just gave to you was wrapped in Gold paper and tied with Silver ribbons - This is to remind you of all of the Wonderful, Wonderful Friends you are going to make this year. As the Song goes, Make New Friends but keep the old.. .. .. One is Silver and the other is Gold!

And now as we share our first ever All-Stott Friendship Circle, we will pass the squeeze around the circle, and as we do, we will all think about all of our special Girl Scout Sisters right here at Stott and around the world and all of the fun and excitement that awaits us this year!
