What is bridging?Bridge to Girl Scout Seniors Patch

Moving from one Girl Scout age level to the next is called bridging. To earn the Bridge to Girl Scout Seniors patch, complete the following eight steps in your last year of being a Girl Scout Cadette.

  1. Find out about being a Girl Scout Senior. Interview at least two former or current Girl Scout Seniors to find out what they do at this age level.
  2. Page through A Resource Book for Girl Scout Seniors to learn more about Girl Scout Seniors. Read two sections from two different chapters in that book.
  3. Do something with a Girl Scout Senior. You might visit a Girl Scout Senior meeting or help out with an interest or community service project.
  4. Help others learn about Girl Scout Cadettes and/or Girl Scout Seniors.
  5. Find out more about Apprentice Trainer, Leader-in-Training (LIT), and Counselor-in-Training (CIT) opportunities available in your area. Review a destinations Web site to see which opportunities are open to Girl Scout Seniors only.
  6. Conduct a leadership activity with a group of younger Girl Scouts.
  7. Design your own bridging ceremony. Consult the GSUSA resource, Ceremonies in Girl Scouting, for ideas.
  8. Plan and participate in a summer Girl Scout activity
