Congratulations! You made it! Leading middle school girls was challenging, I know. Now that they are more mature and getting ready for high school, it is time for them to plan their Girl Scout Cadette to Senior bridging ceremony.
Planning a Girl Scout Cadette to Senior Bridging Ceremony
Because your girls are older, they will be having a lot of input as to what they want to do for their ceremony. Once a date and place has been determined, you will need one or two troop meetings to plan and practice for the ceremony.
Girl Scout Senior Gold Key Ceremony
Part of your Bridge to Senior ceremony is giving your troop a gold key. It is a Girl Scout tradition. This patch is something you can give your troop as part of their bridging ceremony.
