If you are interested in giving your girls a gift, you can find blog posts with ideas on what to give here.
In my last post, The 2021 Girl Scout Bridging Guide, I shared how leaders can safely conduct a Girl Scout bridging ceremony during the pandemic. Our girls have lost out on so much this past year, and the ability to host a bridging ceremony, no matter how different it may look than ones held in years past, is more important now than ever before. A return to normalcy is what all of us, both children and adults, yearn for.
Instead of spending hours researching, I am writing this post to lead you to the information you need in order to host a bridging ceremony for your troop’s level. All of the blog posts linked here have been updated, with broken links removed and new links added to give you a variety of choices while planning your Girl Scout milestone.
