Girl Scout Traditions
Passed on for many generations are Girl Scout traditions.
Ceremonies
Ceremonies are an integral part of Girl Scouts and are used to mark special events and celebrations. Flag ceremonies, bridging ceremonies, and award ceremonies are celebrated often. Check out the Girl Scouts website for more detail.
Swaps
A Girl Scout swap is a small momento shared between 2 girls that meet at an event. When attending a state or national encampment, it has been tradition to bring a supply of swaps to distribute to new friends you have made. Also check out our swap board inside the GH house!
Songs
At troop meetings, around the campfire, or at International jamborees, songs are a long time tradition of scouting. The Internet is a great place to locate the favorites and there are published books and CDs available at Girl Scout shops. Invite older girl scouts to pass down camp songs or check out youtube to help your troop learn songs!
