Who doesn’t love being recognized when they move to a new level? Whether it’s graduating from school or leveling up in a video game, we love that moment when we move toward new adventures and exciting possibilities! In Girl Scouts when girls make the transition to the next age level we call it bridging, and we love to mark this achievement with reflection, ceremonies, and of course an award!
When do girls bridge?
Traditionally, girls bridge from one level of Girl Scouts to the next either at the end of the troop year or the fall of the next troop year. Remember that girls advance to the next age level in Girl Scouts automatically when they enter that grade at school, regardless of if they complete the requirements for bridging or not.
