On the evening of May 25th, Ellie participated in a "bridging ceremony" where she went from being a Daisy to a Brownie in Girl Scouts.
Her troop started off in a circle holding hands and one by one each name was called. Each girl then crossed a symbolic bridge over a little pond and was given a certificate saying that they had completed all of the requirements of being a Daisy and were now promoted to a Brownie.
On the other side of the bridge, the troop leaders Ms. Theresa and Ms. Melissa presented the girls with their bridging certificate and their first patches for their Brownie vest.
Special thanks to everyone who helped Ellie earn the patch below for selling over 100 boxes of Girl Scout cookiesin her first year. Ellie had a great time doing it and can't wait for next year when she promises that she will sell even more. (She came in 2nd in her troop for the number of boxes sold!)
