Mission Ceremony
A mission ceremony is for the advancement of ninja boys or ninja girls to move up to the next level (white, yellow, green and blue). When Ninjas are ready to move to the next level, trainers will fill out an “Invitation to Mission Card.” At their mission, Ninjas will be evaluated on mastery of their skills and on The Creed.
