You can edit these for certain ranks in your clan. These are basic guidelines on what a thread for a ceremony should look like.
Just more elaborate like a roleplay.

Apprentice Ceremony
Leader: From this moment on, until he/she has earned his/her warrior name, this apprentice will be known as [Kit Name + paw]. [Mentor's name], you will be mentor to [Apprentice]. You have shown yourself to be a warrior of [Virtue] and [Virtue]; I trust that you will pass these traits on to your apprentice.
(The part about virtues is optional, but most leaders in the book do that. For example: "Rubyheart, you have shown yourself to be a warrior of integrity and heart.")
