Several kinds of ceremonies have become part of the Girl Scout tradition. These include:

Investiture - to welcome new members into Girl Scouting
Rededication - members renew their commitment to the Girl Scout Promise and Law
Court of Awards - Girls receive recognition for special accomplishments
Bridging - Girls celebrate passage form one level of scouting to the next
Patrol Leader Installation - signifies acceptance of responsibility to the patrol and the troop

Other types of ceremonies that sometimes take less planning, or may even happen spontaneously:

Flag Ceremony - to honor the Flag of our Country
Opening/Closing - the beginning or end of a meeting
Scouts Own - a quiet ceremony with a theme expressing feelings or ideas
Campfires - for fun, friendship, or to celebrate a happy experience
