Tree of Knowledge

Prepare in advance a tree trunk with five branches. This can be a real tree, or a tree drawn on posterboard and hung on the wall. You will also need construction paper leaves with activities girls have done to earn awards written on them.

Perform flag ceremony and opening remarks or song.

This is the Tree of Knowledge. The tree trunk represents the World of GSing. Each branch represents one of the Five Worlds of Scouting. The leaves represent the knowledge and skills we acquire as we branch out and explore each of the five worlds.

At this time, girls can come forward and place on the tree leaves representing different activities they did to earn awards. Then each girl can receive her awards. These might be presented on real or construction paper branches.
