Dime Ceremony
Contributed by Debbee DeWitt
Rededication
We have something we want to give each of you girls tonight - A bright, shiny new dime!
Now, a dime doesn’t do much by itself. You have to put it with something in order for it to be useful.
Put 25 cents with it and you have enough for an emergency phone call.
Put 40 cents with it and you might have enough to buy a candy bar or a pack of gum.
You can save more dimes, put it all in the bank and let it make more money in interest.
You could take this dime home, throw it in a dresser drawer and not use it at all.
You could even lose it before you get home!
Now, I want you to tell me, how many pennies does it take to equal this one dime?
Right, it takes 10 pennies - 10 very equal and important parts. Well when you take the 10 parts of the Girl Scout Law and add it all together, it equals Girl Scouting!
I will do my best to be
honest and fair
friendly and helpful
considerate and caring
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others
respect authority
use resources wisely
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout
because.. .. .. ..
WE ARE GIRL SCOUTS!!!
