On May 24th the girls participated in a bridging ceremony signifying their transition to Brownies. The bridging ceremony takes place to celebrate the girls advancement in Girl Scouts and to acknowledge the work that they have completed as Daisy's. The girls started the ceremony by singing "Make New Friends" and carrying in the flag. After the pledge the girls were called one at time to walk across the bridge and say a part of the Girl Scout Law. The girls received their Brownie pins and sashes on the other side of the bridge. 
The new Brownies then said the promise and made a friendship circle. The ceremony was attended by parents, siblings, and grandparents. The girls were very proud of themselves and are happy to move on to the next phase of Girl Scouts.
Shara Herfel announced that she will step down as leader but will be happy to stay on to help at meetings. Natalie Daniel will be the Brownie leader next year with the help of Jen Rehberger and Krys Crawford. We have great plans and are very excited!
Congratulations Troop 696!
