When kits become apprentice they do not have vigils, but for the warrior ceremony here is the procedure:
The Clan Leader calls a Clan Meeting to appoint a new apprentice and assign a mentor to him/her.The following Words are used, by tradition:Leader: (Kit), you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as (new name, ending with "paw"). Your mentor will be (name of warrior or medicine cat). I hope (name of warrior or medicine cat) will pass down all he/she knows to you.
The leader calls up the warrior he/she has chosen as a mentor.Leader: (Warrior), you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received Excellent training from (former mentor), and you have shown yourself to be (quality) and (quality). You will be the mentor of (apprentice), and I expect you to pass on all you know to (apprentice).
The mentor touches noses with the apprentice and the Clan greets the new apprentice by calling out his/her name. After this, the apprentice will usually go greet their family or go see to their mentor.
