Bridging Sparks to Brownies
(Adapted for GGC)
Stacy
Vista, California
Mary, Jr. Troop 770, McKean,
Pennsylvania: I asked for this a couple
weeks ago and Sallie Zeil sent me a copy. I will paraphrase the
ceremony here. The original came from Stacey in Vista, CA
- Paint a large box (from a range top) like
an oven. Call it the Little Brownie Bakery, with dials
and a rainbow.
- Cut a door on each side and a large hole
in the back. On one door was a recipe for a Brownie. Some
of the ingredients were a Spark, Brownie Promise, fun,
new friends, songs, games. The recipe said to "spend
a year slowly preparing your Spark by adding the above
ingredients and when the time is right, check for a
desire to learn new things, sprinkle with magic (glitter
or I might use confetti) add one last hug and pop in the
oven".
- Before each girl stepped into the oven,
she said her Promise, was sprinkled with glitter and got
a hug. Inside she put on her sash and when the timer went
off she stepped out the other side as a Brownie. Leaders
could also wear aprons and oven mitts.
