"End your 2024-25 Girl Scout year with a BANG at our 2nd Annual
Trenton Bridging Event! Open to all from Sprouts becoming Daisy's to
Ambassadors bridging to Adults - you don't have to be bridging levels
to celebrate finishing a full year of Girl Scouting!
Join
us to celebrate starting a new journey and level of your Girl Scout
career by connecting with your Girl Scout sisters from all over New
Jersey at this ceremony by the Delaware River. Bridging is an
important transition in a Girl Scout's life. It's a defining moment
when a Girl Scout becomes aware of her achievements and is ready for
new adventures and responsibilities. Bridging ceremonies often utilize
a bridge as girls take literal steps toward the future.
For Girl Scouts, the act of crossing the bridge is both a physical and
symbolic step, as they have the opportunity to bridge levels six times
- Daisy to Brownie, Brownie to Junior, Junior to Cadette, Cadette to
Senior, Senior to Ambassador, and Ambassador to Adult. (Although we do
welcome the 'Un-official' Sprouts to become fresh brand new
Daisys!)
Girl Scout Daisies through Adults are welcome to
join us for a Girl Scout exclusive event after we march across the
iconic Trenton Makes Bridge (aka the Lower Trenton Bridge), with views
of Trenton in the distance, from Pennsylvania to the historic William
Trent House in Trenton, New Jersey. Drop off of those wanting to cross
the 1/2 mile bridge (0.6-mile walk in total) will be on the
Pennsylvania side of the Trenton Makes Bridge. Crossing from oldest to
youngest we will continue the ceremony with each level greeting the
next at the historic Trent House.
Fun, festivities,
refreshments, and more will complete the evening and be a sweet end to
your Girl Scout year! Look forward to fun yard games (with some relay
races), crafts (memory jars, kindness rocks, and friendship paracord
keychains), music, garden photo-zone, and congratulatory cupcakes! As
the evening gets darker make sure to look to the Trenton Makes Bridge
as it lights up in Girl Scout Green!
Bridging kits with
drawstring bags will be presented to all Girl Scouts that qualify in
bridging up to the next level! The bridging kit includes a
certificate, bridge fun patch, membership pin and tab, rainbow bridge
award, pencil, Brownie wings, and possibly a few additional goodies.
Sprouts bridging to Daisy will receive their Daisy pin, and
Ambassadors bridging to adults will receive their Adult pin. Girl
Scouts, past and present, from across New Jersey and around the nation
are invited to join us to participate in this special and unique
opportunity to celebrate themselves by experiencing a Girl Scout
Ceremony as they never have before!
**To be able to cross
the bridge you must be registered (Girl Scouts and Adults). All girls
that cross the bridge will receive a bridging fun patch. ***IF YOU ARE
NOT REGISTERED YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CROSS THE BRIDGE DUE TO
SAFETY PROTOCOLS.
