Consistency-Start every meeting the same way....

         1. Friendship Circle
          2. Girl Scout Promise
           3. The Girl Scout Law
            4. Song
             5. The Friendship Squeeze

The girls love the opening ceremony, their favorite part is the squeeze at the end.  We stand or sit in a circle with arms crossed holding each others hands.  Pick one person to start, the scout squeezes the persons hand next to her. Then that person squeezes their neighbors hand and we continue until it makes it around the circle.
