Ceremonies are an important part of your Frontier Girls troop. They serve a variety of purposes such as
1. To acknowledge in a formal way work that has been done
2. To impress upon people the purpose and meaning of the Frontier Girl program.
3. An opportunity to thank parents and volunteers.
4. To recognize advancement or commitment.
When planning your ceremonies, keep the following tips in mind:
- Try to involve all the girls if possible.
- Plan ahead. What supplies will you require? Who is doing/saying what?
- Delegate responsibility
- Use imagination and showmanship
- Improvise, use what is available, low cost & easy to find
- Gather ideas . Use the promise, creed, motto, flag, poems, skits, songs, symbolism, candles etc.
- Keep it simple, keep it fun
- Try to make each ceremony unique in some way.
Below are links to a variety of scouting ceremonies that are great to use as templates to adapt for your Frontier
Girls Ceremonies. These ceremonies are not meant to be used as is and some will not be applicable to our
program at all, but they are still a great way to get some inspiration for your own ceremony. Remember, the
best ceremony has not been written yet. Feel free to write your own. As you create your ceremonies, we hope
you’ll never lose sight of the fact that recognition in Frontier Girls can be fun as well as meaningful. If you need
help planning a ceremony please contact the Frontier Girls Headquarters.
