Fly-Up and Cross the Bridge

Flag ceremony
Brownies form a Brownie Ring
Brownie Leaders read:
You’ve been in Brownies and you’ve earned
Your wings of sunlight gold.
You’re ready now for Junior Scouts
New adventures you’ve been told.

Brownies may sing any song. There are several in the handbook.

Then they may recite the Girl Scout Promise.

Brownie Leaders say:
B - means to BE prepared for any new surprises
R - means you’re READY when the unexpected rises
O - you’re flying OUT of the ring that has held you close so long
W - means that you’ve earned your WINGS and you’ll be greeted with a song
N - means NO ONE can deny how much we really care
I - is for the INTEREST shown by leaders everywhere
E - is for the ENERGY and EVERY little thing

You’ve put them all together and made this BROWNIE RING!

All ages of Girl Scouts recite the Girl Scout Promise and Law. One by one the Brownies leave the ring. Each is met by her leader who pins her wings on her and greets her with the Girl Scout handshake. A Junior Scout steps forward and takes the Brownie by the hand and leads her to the Junior leader who pins the Girl Scout pin on her, and greets her with the Girl Scout handshake.

Junior Girl Scouts read together:

J - means you’re JUST the one we’ve needed all these days
U - is for the UPS and downs - you’ll have them along life’s way
N - just means we won’t say NO to religion, nor to race
I - means INTERNATIONAL - Girl Guides in a far off place
O - is for the OPEN hearts and hands we extend to you
R - means that we REALLY want you to try to like us, too.

Junior Leader reads:

Juniors you’ll be for three short years.
Make the most of each day that goes by.
Be cheerful and helpful and do a good turn, >br> And greet each Girl Scout with a "Hi!"

Ceremony may end with the singing of an appropriate song followed by "Taps."
