Moving from one Girl Scout level to another is called bridging. You can begin to bridge to Girl Scout Cadettes in your last year as a Girl Scout Junior. As a Girl Scout Cadette, you will enjoy many of the same types of activities you did in Girl Scout Junior, but as a Girl Scout Cadette you have more freedom, greater opportunities, and more responsibilities.

What Is It Like to Be a Girl Scout Cadette?
As a Girl Scout Cadette you have the opportunity to do Interest Projects, go on longer trips, teach sports skills to young girls, and earn a Silver Award and other awards. When you are ready to take the following bridging steps, you can earn your Bridge to Girl Scout Cadettes Award. Here are the requirements:

Find out about Girl Scout Cadette books. Look through the Girl Scout Cadette Handbook or the Interest Projects for Cadette and Girl Scout Seniors as well as the Journeys for Girl Scout Cadettes and pick three activities that interest you.

Here are some ideas!

Find out about GirlSports or other council-sponsored opportunities for Girl Scout Cadettes. Participate in one where Girl Scout Cadettes are also taking part.
Do one of the activities you picked in Step One, which you didn't do yet.
Participate in a service project with a Girl Scout Cadette. Or participate in a camping or hiking trip with a Girl Scout Cadette troop.
Do something with a Cadette Girl Scout or Girl Scout Cadette troop.
Help plan your bridging ceremony. Plan ways to make your ceremony meaningful and unique for you and other Junior Girl Scouts who are bridging with you.
