Ceremony Planning Worksheet

Girl Scouts of DuPage County Council
Naperville, Illinois
With all the talk of "does someone have a
ceremony for . . .?", I thought I'd post something that has
helped our girls plan their own ceremonies. I've used it with
Brownies, Juniors, and Cadettes. Give each girl her own copy. The
worksheet has the following:
- Name of Ceremony
- Purpose or Theme
- Date of Ceremony
- Time
- Place of Ceremony
- Length
- Who will attend?
- How will the ceremony begin?
- What songs, poems, quotations will be
included?
- What activities will be included in the
main part of the ceremony? Will people speak? Will badges
or other awards be given?
- How will the ceremony end?
- Who will do each part?
- Who will record the ceremony for your
troop's archives or records?
- What decorations or props are needed?
- Who will bring the items?
- Item(s) Who will bring them?
- What refreshments will be served?
- Who will bring them?
- What will refreshments cost?
- Who will pay for them?
- When will a rehearsal be scheduled for the
ceremony?
