They bridged.
That means they completed their second year as Daisies and tonight they became full-fledged Brownies. In order to do this certain criteria had to be met. They had to have an older Brownie talk to them about what it would be like next year as they start their time as Brownies. Then, in turn, they had to talk to a younger Daisy about some of the things they did during their time as Daisy. For the most part, we could do any sort of ceremony we wanted -- it could be simple or elaborate, indoors or outdoors, short or lengthy -- but we had to have a physical bridge.
So, here are our girls on their bridge.
And, of course, there had to be cake.
So, our girls are growing up -- they are Brownies now! One even told us that she thought she had grown as she walked over the bridge. I wonder which one that was?

I love that rainbow bridge! I don't know if the cake decorator was aware of it but the cake(s) have an international flavour as the British equivalent of a Daisy is a Rainbow.
I am sure she wasn't aware but isn't that cool! The older girl was talking about bridging to cadets this year and that they even had one girl bridge to adult status and I thought about you. When our girls had to talk to the younger Daisy and tell her some of things she had to look forward to, it was very interesting to hear what things we did this year had an impact. One girl (who shall remain nameless) was all about the roller skating. Another liked the compassing, they all seemed to like the cookies (dread, dread, dread) but they all seemed excited and that is really the point, I guess. I am honestly looking forward to moving forward into Brownies with them. I was a Brownie so I can identify.
