Daisy Bridging

     A bridging ceremony is held when Daisy Girl Scouts "cross the bridge" to the next level - Brownie Girl Scouts.  It is one of the important milestones in Girl Scouting, and Daisy Girl Scouts should help as much as possible in its planning.  They can create invitations, decide which refreshments to serve, and offer ideas for the content of the ceremony.  You should also involve the troop parent committee (those parents who help out in the troop setting) invite the girls' families to attend.
     At the bridging ceremony, girls may receive the following insignia and awards:

Bridging to Brownies award patch
One-year membership star
Daisy Ending Certificate
