Hi everyone!
Good morning and Happy Easter!
Our year is wrapping up, and many of our girls are 5th graders, moving to 6th grade next year, which means big changes for them in scouting.
Before I go any further, I do have a favor to ask: Please let me know if your scout plans to continue scouting next year. At the end of this email is a link to a sign up genius to let me know how to plan. Thanks so much!
OK, the obvious big change is that our 5th grade girls are moving from Junior Girl Scouts to Girl Scout Cadettes. At 6th grade, the girls start getting more and more responsibility in scouting. For example, they start putting on the events, like the Father Daughter Dance that's put on by GMS and GHS scouts. Events for scouts also start to transition to more forward-looking events, like career explorer events.
To mark this change, once more, we're holding a multi-level Bridging Ceremony. All 5th grade scouts are invited (and 1st and 3rd grade scouts.) (4th graders and 6th graders: you were up last year and will be up again next year!) It's June 7th, from 6:00-7:00PM in the Highland View Gym. Instead of a keynote speaker this year, we're considering having a slideshow-style movie with pictures from the various troops throughout the year. If you have any Girl Scout pictures from this year, it would be great if you could send them to me for inclusion in the slide show. You can RSVP for this in the sign up link below as well.
That's the big announcement for now. Please, let me know your plans for the Bridging Ceremony (5th graders) and for scouting next year (everyone!) at the link here:
Have a great day!
