during Court of Awards Event
Audubon Elementary MPR
Mid-Peninsula Service Unit invites you to participate in our Bridging Event 2025. Let’s bring our troops together to fulfill the bridging requirements. This is a bridging event for Girl Scouts of all age groups and bridging levels!!!
The Bridging Requirements usually involves two parts: Pass It On and Look Ahead. In the first step, girls remember their favorite activities and share their skills with a younger troop. In the second step, they’ll meet with older girls to learn what’s in store for the next program grade level. Each troop will come prepared with an activity or skill they learned to Pass it On and Look Ahead. Here are some examples:
For Daisies: Bridge to Brownie Award
For Brownies: Bridge to Junior Award
For Juniors: Bridge to Cadette Award
For Cadettes: Bridge to Senior Award
For Seniors: Bridge to Ambassador Award
For Ambassadors: Bridge to Adult Award
Agenda
