Brownies bridging (“flying up”) to Juniors

SAYING GOODBYE TO THE GS BROWNIES

This would be the last thing said to the Girl Scout Brownies as they bridge to Juniors.
Members stand holding hands in a circle with girls eligible for fly-up standing in the center. As the poem is said, one girl at a time leaves the circle, crosses the bridge, and is received into Girl Scout Juniors.
“Now it's time to say goodbye.
Break the ring and out you fly.”

LINKING FRIENDSHIP CEREMONY

This simple ceremony is based on the Dutch Girl Guide's Benediction, "I am a link in the golden chain of Girl Scouting (or world friendship), and I must keep my link strong and bright." Note: nice for a bridging activity.
Supplies: a paper strip with tape on one end or a piece of rope for each participant
Set-up: participants stand or sit in a circle, each with their own chain "link."
Procedure: The leader can begin the ceremony by taping together her paper link or, if using rope, tying it with a square knot and repeating the benediction. Each participant takes a turn to add a link and recite a thought on friendship. When the circle is completed, it would be appropriate to sing a friendship or international song.
Note: if done as part of a bridging activity, make paper links of a different color for each level; have each participant put their name on the link; alternate colors around the circle. The visiting group could take home the chain as a reminder of the visit.
