Several Imstallation Ceremonies

SERVICE UNIT TEAM INSTALLATION CEREMONY


When service unit team members have been appointed and trained, an appropriate installation ceremony should be held to formally mark the beginning of their term of office.  The installation ceremony may be held at an annual service unit bridging and fly up ceremony or at the June service unit manager's meeting for adults.  The outgoing service unit manager or a representative from the council staff can conduct it.

The installation ceremony emphasizes the importance of the service unit team and the significance of their work.  The ceremony should be formal and conducted in a serious manner.
