Ribbon Investiture Ceremony
The wording for this ceremony may be adapted slightly dependin on whether you are a Frontier Girls troop or a Quest Club.
You will need 9 ribbons or streamers at least 10’ long in the following colors: red, orange, yellow, light green, dark green, light blue, dark blue, purple and pink. Keep ribbons rolled until needed. Divide the club in half and have kids face each other across a 8’ gap. As each piece of the creed is read, have one child walk over to a child on the opposite side (not necessary directly opposite) and hand them the end of the colored ribbon. As they walk back to their place they should unroll the ribbon as they go and hold on to the end. By the end of the creed you should have a spider web of ribbon crisscrossing between the two sides.
LEADER: As Quest Club members we live by the following moral code: I will be loving, treating others as I would like to be treated (red ribbon unrolls) I will be Joyful, finding the blessings in every situation. (orange ribbon unrolls) I will be Peaceful, respecting others opinions and beliefs. (yellow ribbon unrolls) I will be Patient, persevering toward my goals despite obstacles. (light green ribbon unrolls) I will be Kind, respectful to all and willing to help others at all times. (dark green ribbon unrolls) I will be Good, pure in all I do, think and say. (light blue ribbon unrolls) I will be Faithful to my God and loyal to family, friends, and country. (dark blue ribbon unrolls) I will be Gentle, taking special care of those weaker or less fortunate than I. (purple ribbon unrolls) I will have Self Control, using my time, materials, and talents wisely, and being accountable for my own actions. (pink ribbon unrolls)
Just as these ribbons bind these children together, so do the parts of our code intertwine and bind our lives as we work together to make this world a better place.
