Investiture and Rededication

An investiture ceremony welcomes new girls or adults into Girl Scouting. It can be a very memorable and meaningful step for girls as they becomes Girl Scouts.  Although a majority of girls will be Daisies when they invest, girls can and do join Girl Scouts at all ages.  An investiture is appropriate for any new members.


A rededication ceremony allows girls and adults who have already been Girl Scouts to reaffirm their commitment to Girl Scouts as outlined in  the Girl Scout Promise and Law and to reflect upon the meaning of Girl Scouting in their lives. 

Investiture and Rededication ceremonies are usually held at the beginning of a Girl Scout year.  Many troops/groups have a joint investiture and rededication ceremony each year.  A ceremony can be anything your girls want it to be.  Formal ceremonies have their place, but my girls once held their ceremony in a maze at Girl Scout camp.  It was one of the most memorable ceremonies the troop ever held.
