Girl Scout fun-ness

My oldest daughter is a Girl Scout. This was her first year and she was so happy to participate in it. She is a "Junior". Girls Scouts have six age levels: Daisy, Brownie, and Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador. Every other week during this school year she joined her friends and fellow Girl Scouts for fun and fellowship. In addition to the meetings which they made crafts, ate food, and giggled non-stop, she also participated in community gatherings. She also sang songs for nursing home residents, learned about different cultures, wrote stories, sold a billion cookies, and went to camp. It was a great first year in Girl Scouts! Today was the Bridging Ceremony and the awarding of badges. Girl Scouts move or "bridge" to the next level at the end of the school year. The entire troop and their families were there to support and participate in the festivities. I was so happy for Brianna. She received a green ribbon and a pin. She was so happy and proud. All the girls that were bridging crossed a little bridge and received a badge and a flower. Brianna didn't bridge, but it was fun to watch the other little girls celebrate their moving forward.
