Place: A garden, or lawn, or wide hall, or park.

Part I – Introduction

Troop Leaders (North Star and Morning Star) stand at the center of the garden or hall with the Magic
Carpet in front of them.

Step 1 – The Star Clusters by turns enter hopping and skipping and singing their rhyme songs until
they reach troop leaders. They quietly form a semi-circle around the Magic Carpet, stand at
attention and sing their respective songs.

Brave and helpful to all of you.

STARDUST

To help the people everyday

STARGLOW

Helpful, truthful wherever we go.

Helping people where trouble gleams.

STARRAY

e) Here we are the sparkling starrays


Giving help with a smiling face.

Step 2 – Morning Star comes forward, executes the Girl Scout Sign to North Star who returns it, and
then announces aloud:

“North Star, we have found a little Twinkler/little Twinklers


in the Starry Circle who want/wants to join our Stars”

Step 3 – (Morning Star then fetches the Twinklers who are hiding nearby some improvised cloud or
bush or plant) North Star “Let them come forward”.

Step 4 – North Star: “Tell me, why do you want to become a Star?”

Step 5 – Twinkler: “I want to bring light.” If more than one is to be invested, each one should give a
different answer , such as “I want to be truthful, helpful, obedient, etc.

Step 6 – North Star: “Stars are little children who brighten their homes with smiles and deeds.
Each Star has to make happy every day her mother, father, brother, or sister. She has to keep
Herself, brightly shining by being clean, truthful, and obedient. Do you want to become such a
Star in your home?”

Step 7 – Twinkler: “Yes, North Star, we do”

Step 8 – North Star: “Very well, Twinkler you have come to the right place. But before you join the
group, you have to make a promise. Will you say your promise now?”
Part II – Investiture

Step 9 – Twinkler with her right hand executes the Star Scout Sign, makes her Promise before the
North Star clearly and loudly but slowly.

Step 10 – North Star returns the sign with the Girl Scout Sign and then pins the Star Scout membership
pin on the left collar of the Star Uniform.

Step 11 – She then welcomes the girls to the troop with the Girl Scout Handshake and Sign, saying
“Welcome to the Star Troop No.____ of the _____ Council of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines.”

Part III – Follow-up

Step 12 – North Star: “Now you are now truly a member of the Star Scout Troop. But before your Star
Cluster can accept you, your mother will put on your Star Scout Cap”.

(Mothers or guardians should be given special seats in front of the circle to facilitate this part of the
program). The mother comes to the circle and puts the cap on her daughter.

Step 13 – North Star: “We welcome you to the Milky Way.” The Stars form a big circle around the
Magic Carpet, holding and then dancing to the song of their choice.
