is lit on the other side of the globe, a leader recites
the Aim of Girl Guides.
- Tenderfoot Guides to be
enrolled will have the small candles.
- Guides will take turns
reciting each Law - As a Law is read, a white candle is
lit and placed in the plasticine and when finished, they
will encircle the globe.
- The same is done with the
Objectives - a blue one is lit and placed in between the
white candles.

Leading towards the achievement of meeting the Aim
The keeping of the Promise
Let these flames show you the way.

honour"
