Have a group of 6 members stand at the front of the room. Each will hold a card that spells out BADGES. They should hold thier card face down until it is their turn to speak. (Print the script for each letter on the back of the card)
Leader: Welcome, everyone, to our badge ceremony! Tonight marks a special moment for each of us, as we come together to celebrate the dedication, effort, and achievements of our members. Let’s begin by spelling out the word that represents our collective journey.
[The members raise their cards one by one, forming the word BADGES.]
Person 1 (holding up the letter B): “B stands for Badges. These badges symbolize our hard work and dedication in learning and growing.”
Person 2 (holding up the letter A): “A stands for Attitude. It’s about having a positive mindset and believing in ourselves as we tackle new challenges.”
Person 3 (holding up the letter D): “D stands for Discover. Throughout our journey, we’ve discovered new talents, interests, and knowledge that have enriched our lives.”
Person 4 (holding up the letter G): “G stands for Growth. With every badge earned, we’ve grown not just in skills and abilities, but also in character and confidence.”
Person 5 (holding up the letter E): “E stands for Empowerment. Through badges, we’ve empowered ourselves to take control of our learning and shape our own futures.”
Person 6 (holding up the letter S): “S stands for Self-confidence. Each badge we earn boosts our self-confidence and reminds us of our capabilities.”
Leader: As your leader, I know the work you have put into each badge you earn. I know you are eager to wear them and it is with great pride and feeling of accomplishment that I present them to you today. (Call each member forward to make the presentations.)
[The ceremony continues with the members receiving their badges and celebrating their achievements with applause and smiles.]
Leader: Before we bid farewell, I want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of tonight’s ceremony. Your hard work, perseverance, and determination have paid off in ways that words cannot fully express. As you leave here tonight, remember to hold onto the sense of accomplishment and camaraderie that we’ve shared. Congratulations, and may your badges serve as a reminder of your incredible journey.
