The ceremony


Well as you can see in the picture, Darly DID cross over the bridge! But as you can also tell (if you look closely at the child) she did it under protest...or is that goofiness?


At any rate she did and so did the others. We had 5 girls "Bridge up" (or move up) to the next level of Girl Scouts. Two brand new Girl Scouts who were Invested and 3 girls who were Rededicated.


about the bridge...yes, originally I did plan to cut out rails and make it look more like a real bridge...but as the deadline got closer, I got lazy...slapped a coat of white paint on it and glued the daisies on. Everyone said that they liked it, so I went ahead and saved the parts to use next time too. The girls had a good time crossing the bridge a lot before we started (I had to re-attach one of the rails ...note to self: take extra staples next year!)

  2. Goofy is certainly better than stubborn! :-) Great job with the bridge (love the daisies) and I like the idea of "crossing over" as a metaphor for "moving up." Onward and upward...

  3. I like the bridge. It's very Partridge Family-ish. Maybe you can have Shirley Jones speak at the next one, not that any of the girls would know who she was. Nor most of the parents probably.

  4. She does look kind of cheeky crossing the bridge, but her face says she's secretly proud. :)

    Good bridge. :)
