For troops who wish to bridge at this ceremony, we will have a bridge set up on the stage. We ask that leaders of bridging troops announce their girls as they cross the bridge. If bridging troops wish to give their girls certificates, patches, pins, etc...please bring them to the ceremony. We'll bridge one troop at a time starting with Daisy to Brownie & on up through the levels.
