Investiture and rededication ceremonies can be done in various ways, and the two can be easily combined for established troops wishing to welcome new members.

Here are a few reminders and ideas:
1. Investiture takes place the first time a girl or adult joins Girl Scouting.

The person being invested:

1) Says the Girl Scout Promise
2) receives the appropriate Girl Scout pin; and
3) is welcomed into Girl Scouting.

Saying the Girl Scout Promise can be done individually or as a group, depending on the age of the person(s) being invested. Investiture should be a special time, not a scary one.

At this time, Daisies may also receive their beginning certificate.

The girl should understand (as much as possible for her age level) that when she is invested, she is agreeing to subscribe to the values and principals of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

If you have girls/adults rededicating and investing at the same ceremony, do the rededicating first - then those girls and adults can assist with investiture.

3. Be sure that everyone receives and wears only the appropriate Girl Scout Pin:

	Daisy Girl Scout Pin	worn only by Daisy Girl Scouts (age 5/6 or Kindergarten)
	Brownie Girl Scout Pin	worn only by Brownie Girl Scouts (1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade)
	Girl Scout Pin - traditional (eagle) - contemporary (three faces)	worn by Junior, Cadette, Senior and Adult Girl Scouts
