Opening or Closing Candle Ceremony

Equipment: Table, small candle, match

Leader: Now, scouts, let's all gather around the table. I'm Going to turn out all the lights. (Extinguish lights) I want you to think about the darkness. Now, I'm going to light this small candle (light candle). This one tiny flame makes the room seem quite cheerful again. That's just the way it can be with a ___________(Girl Scout/ Brownie/ Cadette/etc). You aren't very big but you can light up your home and make the people around you a little more happy if you keep the Girl Scouting spirit alive. DO YOUR BEST!

Scouts: We'll do our best!!!
