Etiquette Badge


At our October meeting we had a very fancy tea party with a real silver tea set, linen napkins, and beautiful tablecloths. We learned how to sit like proper ladies, table manners, party manners, phone manners, audience manners, and we did it all in our pajamas and slippers! From properly buttering bread, to what happens when you need to burp was covered.

Then we had a candle lighting Investiture Ceremony, where we all lined up colored candles that represent a part of the Frontier Girl Creed. We each represented a piece and lit the candle. Then we took oaths promising to be faithful and true to the Troop, and to our Leadership positions.


Congratulations to Emma, Vanessa, Nathalie & Jaclyn for earning thier first service hearts!!
