From a Brownie to a Jr. Girl Scout...

Zoe's Girl Scout troop had their bridging ceremony tonight. After 3 years, our Brownies are now officially Junior Girl Scouts. They get to retire their brown vests and move on a green sash. We had a party at Miss Brook's house to celebrate. The girls sang a friendship song and the "Brownie Smile" song for the last time. Then each of them received the last of their pins/badges from this year, crossed over a "bridge" and received their new Girl Scout badges. While on the bridge, each girl told what their favorite memory has been so far and what they're most looking forward to next year. Zoe said she had the most fun selling cookies and doing a valentine's art project. She looks forward to selling more cookies next year!
At the end, Brook surprised us all by having DVD's made with photos and music from the last couple years of our troop. It brought lots of laughs from the girls, and lots of tears from the parents! We are lucky to have such wonderful group of girls!
Congratulations Zoe!
