Virtual Advancement Ceremony

This week we had our advancement. We pretty much did what we would normally do during a regular ceremony, except that it was all online. 

 Time Activity Materials
7 pmWelcome, opening 
7:10 pmThe ceremony:
  • Year pins: we did the year pins first. A Guider read the list of names and a family member pinned the pin on their Brownie's uniform.
  • Brownie Advancement pins: A Guider read the names of the advancing Brownies, and a family member pinned the pin on their Brownies uniform.
Pins/badges dropped off in advance, or printed versions as stand-ins.
7:20 pm CampfireGoogle Slides/PowerPoint presentation with the lyrics.

My co-Guider had dropped off packages with craft supplies and all of their badges and pins. She also included a paper headband cover, for each girl that said "Brownie" on it, and the advancing Brownies got Guide ones as well. Once they had received their advancement pins, they switched their Brownie headband for their Guide headband. I will see if I can get the template and post it here.

For the campfire I made a Google Slides presentation with all the words, and shared my screen so that everyone could see them. Everyone was muted except for me so that there wasn't an echo. It was a little bit weird singing 40 Years on an Iceberg and not being able to hear them repeat after me, but overall everyone seemed to enjoy it.

The ceremony and campfire went quite smoothly, and we were done in forty minutes. Honestly, it was a lot less chaotic than our usual ceremony.

Girl Guide Colouring Pages

 Here are some colouring pages that I made based on the new GGC clipart. There are four different designs, all in one file for easy downloading.  GGC Colouring Pages Disclaimer: The images that these are based off are owned by Girl Guides of Canada, I just traced them to turn them into colouring pages for personal/Unit use.

Promise Posters

 With Brownies being renamed to Embers, I anticipate that a lot of Ember Units will be looking for new resources with the new promise, law, and branch name. I've made these promise posters, which would make a great aid for teaching the promise, law and motto. I made one for each branch, in English and French. The font size is quite large, so they can be printed as a full page, or multiple per page to be a more convenient size.
