from Laura  Riesenberg :Girl Scout Badge Script Ceremony

" I found this simple but cute ceremony.....they recommend making posters for each letter...one girl could read and one hold the poster so everyone would have a part....a few girls would have to hold posters twice, but I think that is fine!

B Stands for Badges to be given today. What is a badge? An outward sign of an inner accomplishment. The scrap of colored material is not nearly so important as the job that was done to earn it.

A stands for Awards given at this Court of Awards ceremony. Here we are not rewarded for the badge itself but for what the badge represents. It means new knowledge, new skills learned, and new opportunities to be of service to others.

D stands for Deeds. Good deeds to be done now and in the future for family, friends, and the community. Good deeds done with the knowledge and skills acquired through the badges.

G Is the Girl in Girl Scouts and the growth we achieve through living the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

E is for Eagerness and Energy necessary to earn badges. Badges do not come easily and they should not, or their value would be small. Badges present challenges and satisfaction in accomplishment.

S stands for so many things. Service to others, Self-Development, and most important, Self-Respect -- the way you feel about yourself as a person.

Leader: Now I will present each girl with the badges she has earned. I know how eager they are to wear them and it is with great pride that I present their badges to them.
