The
Challenge of Cadette Scouting Bridging Ceremony
The following can be done anytime in the ceremony.
Leader:
You are about to enter another phase in Girl Scouting. You will find yourself
leaving behind your childish enthusiasm and entering a world of new experiences where you
will gain an understanding of your own self worth and individuality. As you accept
more responsibility, you will experience a growth in your knowledge, abilities and
judgments. In these tools, place your new enthusiasm for the future. Use them
wisely.
Are you willing to accept the challenges and responsibliities of Cadette Girl Scouts?
Cadettes: We are (I am).
The Challenge of
Cadette Scouting
I challenge myself to a greater
understanding of the world of well being.
I challenge myself to better serve people.
I challenge myself to accept the changing world of today and tomorrow.
I challenge myself to have a better insight and appreciation of the outdoors.
I challenge myself to learn leadership and give service.
I challenge myself to live the Promise and Law.
I challenge myself to achieve the Silver Award, the highest award a Cadette can earn.
There are eight challenges listed here.
Since I had 12 girls bridging to Cadettes, I had my girls come up with four more
challenges. It took them about 5 minutes, I'm happy to say.
Candles can be lit after each challenge is spoken or they can place a flower in a
vase for each challenge or some other symbolic gesture. Or the challenges can just
be read. There is no "right way" to do a bridging.
