Next, we called each girl up to receive her badges and Cookie All Stars Certificates. The badges were in cookie envelopes with a sheet attached listing what was inside (everyone receives lots of badges and challenge crests).
Once all the 1st and 2nd year Guides had received their awards, we called up the 3rd year girls individually. All girls received the Guide Challenge Pin and 3 received the Lady Baden-Powell Challenge (a 4th girl earned this Challenge, but was not present). The girls were called up, received their badges, pins, certificates, and a green gift bag. They then had to remain standing in a line while each of the other Guides came up one at a time and added an item to their bag, explaining what it was for (the bags became a "Guiding Survival Kit" to prepare them for Pathfinders). After all the items had been placed in the bags, our Junior Leader presented each girl with a blue flower and a green flower, and the girls then rejoined the horseshoe.
At the end of the ceremony, we called up our Junior Leader and presented her with the Girl Assistant Certificate for all of her help this year. Parents and guests were then thanked for coming and cupcakes and juice were served.
