Cadette Bridging (Jillibean Soup Neopolitan Bean Bisque)

In Girl Scouts, when you move up to the next level it's called "bridging". Alexa and her troop bridged from Girl Scouts to Cadettes last month. To make it even more symbolic, the troop held the event at a local park that actually has a wooden bridge for the girls to cross over, before meeting their leader, receiving their new sash, and sharing the Girl Scout promise. Alexa's not sure yet whether she'll continue with scouts in 6th grade. It all depends on her work load and after school activities but she's really enjoyed the friends she's made and all of the wonderful activities they've done.

Were you ever a scout? What is your fondest memory? I think my scouting years were fraught with tears. LOL! As a Brownie, I missed a field trip to an amusement park because I had pneumonia. I remember standing at the dining room window, watching the cars pull out of our driveway, with tears running down my face. I also went to Girl Scout camp for a couple of weeks and even though I was with friends, I was downright homesick the entire time. Every letter I wrote home contained a plea for my parents to please come get me. LOL!
