Bridging to Junior

As you are probably aware, Girl Scouting plays a major part in Sabrina's life. She started as a Daisy during her kindergarten year. Then became a Brownie during first through third grade. As she now approaches fourth grade, she recently "bridged" to a Junior scout.

Bridging in scouting is what Graduation is to traditional school. She bridged from Daisy to Brownie. And just last month, from Brownie to Junior. After being a Junior for 3 years, then comes Cadet, then Senior.

Here are a couple of pictures during the Bridging Ceremony held at Stough Canyon Park in Burbank last month. This first one is a picture of Bree still wearing their Brownie sash, which will be taken off. Then she crosses a bridge (there was a real bridge, but i can't locate that picture). And at the end of the bridge, she is given her Junior green vest (second picture).










I hope she stays as a Girl Scout as long as she can. When girls grow up, scouting becomes less "cool" and a lot of them just stop attending the activities. I expect that to happen to Bree, too, but i hope it's not in the near future.
