Intro:
Let’s make the Girl Scout sign and say the Girl Scout Promise together. Would anyone like to lead it? 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. *Members may substitute for the word God in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs.
Icebreaker:
Have each girl state their name and their favorite food. If you like that one too, jump up and down!
