Captain: "Commissioner ----, Scout ----, of Troop ----, of ----, has not only passed the twenty-one Merit Badge Tests required for the honor of the Golden Eaglet, but is, in the judgment of her Troop, fully worthy of it. We therefore recommend her to you for the decoration." Official: "What badges does Scout ---- offer?" _Captain reads the list Badges earned by the Candidate._ Official: "Troop ----, do you agree that Scout ---- has fairly won this decoration and that you are willing to have her represent you to your National Organization as your Golden Eaglet?" Troop (_together_): "Yes." Official: "Members of the Council, do you agree that Scout ---- has fairly won this decoration and that you are willing to have her represent you to your community as your Golden Eaglet?" Council (_rising if seated_): "Yes." Official: "Scout ----, you have won the highest honor in the gift of the Girl Scouts." "If the Scout life meant nothing more to you than a reasonable understanding of certain subjects, there would now be nothing more for the Girl Scouts to teach you; but I am sure that your training has not failed in this respect, and that you understand now, even better than the average Girl Scout, that your great principles of duty to God and Country, helpfulness to others, and obedience to the Scout Laws, are lessons that no Scout can fully learn as long as she lives. Do you agree to this?" Golden Eaglet: "I agree to it thoroughly." Official (_pinning on badge_): "I have the honor of naming you a Golden Eaglet, and in the name of the Girl Scouts I congratulate you heartily on your fine achievement." _Scout salutes or shakes the hand of the Official, as desired, and returns to her troop position._ _(Here the Official may address the audience at discretion)._ The accompanying diagram of suggested relative positions in Scout ceremonies lends itself equally to a small room, theatre, hall or open field. Whether the Scouts form a troop or even one patrol; whether they make use of strict military formation or informal grouping; whether the visiting Scout dignitaries are many or limited to one member of the local Council, the Scout bodies face each other, and the guest or guests of honor, equally with the general audience, can observe the Troop and the candidates easily from the side.
