Girls Scouts Court of Awards

Twice a year the girls have a 'Court of Awards' to give out any badges and patches they have earned, and this one doubled as a birthday party for the organization as well.  First, the troop leaders have to get organized...

This is the cake they had - 99 years so far!

Looks like a party about to happen...

We got a picture of the troop before they got started.

Here the girls are walking in behind the flag...

...and getting set up for the ceremony.

Things start with the flag salute...

...and everyone says the Pledge of Allegiance.

Next comes the Girl Scout Pledge...

...and a reading of the Girl Scout Law.

Then the girls all got lined up for the awards.

Kayl got a surprise - she had won an award at the Girl Scout Powder Puff (pinewood) Derby for "Best Christmas Spirit"!

That's the second year in a row her car has won a design award.

Here she is getting the badges she has earned.

And now for the party!
