Troop Meeting and Bridging Ceremony This Friday, October 5th!

As Salaam Alaikum Parents and Girls!

MOVING ON TO NEW ADVENTURES

InshaAllah, Troop 3480 will have its first Bridging Ceremony this Friday, October 5th!

What is Bridging?

Bridging is an important transition in a Girl Scout’s life. It’s a defining moment when a girl becomes aware of her achievements and is ready for new adventures and responsibilities. Celebrating this change should be fun, personalized, and memorable for everyone involved. And most of all, it should be designed by the girls in true partnership with adults. This year’s Bridging Ceremony was planned by Troop 3480’s Juniors. The Juniors will be welcoming the most transitioning girls into their level with the Bridging of 7 Brownies!

All girls from all levels will participate on Friday, however the following girls will be acknowledged during the ceremony for moving to another level:


Brownies to Juniors:
Amirah A.
Amirah M.
Asiya K.
Kadijah B.
Kalilah K.
