10. The Captain gives the command "Color Guard forward, MARCH." The
Color Guard marches in front of the Captain and Troop who salute as the
Colors pass, make a right turn two paces in front of the Court of Honor
and march out.

position at the left of the leading file.
The Captain gives the commands:
"Right, FACE, MARCH!" or "Squads right, MARCH!"
"Column left, MARCH!"
and the Troop marches out. The Captain turns, salutes the Court of
Awards and passes out.

presentation of the Golden Eaglet.
ALTERNATE FORMS FOR SCOUT CEREMONIES
In the case of troops for which this formal procedure is not practical,
and for the better assistance of Captains and Councils who feel the need
of a more definite formulation of the Scout principles on these
occasions, the following ceremonies are suggested. They are designed to
meet the necessity for expressing at each stage of the Scout's progress,
recognition of her achievement up to that point and appreciation of her
future responsibilities.
1. Tenderfoot Enrollment
1. The Troop being assembled in any desired formation, the Captain calls
forward those who have passed the test.
Captain: "Scout ----, do you think you know what
it means to be loyal to God and your Country, to
help other people at all times, and to obey the
Scout Laws?"
Scout: "I think I do, and I will try my best not
to fail in any of them."
_This is repeated to each Tenderfoot._
Captain: "Are you ready to make your Promise with
your Troop?"
New Scouts (_together_): "Yes."
Captain: "Scouts of Troop ----, repeat your
promise."
_All salute and repeat the Promise._
Captain: "I trust you on your honor to keep this
Promise."
(_Here, when practicable, investiture of hat,
neckerchief, etc., takes place._)
_Captain then pins on Tenderfoot pin While
attaching it, she says:_
Captain: "This pin makes you a Girl Scout. It is
yours, so long as you are worthy of it."
_Captain dismisses recently enrolled Scouts to
their Troop position._
(_Here the Captain may add, if she wishes,
anything in her judgment applicable to the Troop
as a whole, or to the new Scouts individually._)
