Exeter-Milligan Girl Scout
Troop 20703 held their bridging ceremony on Sunday, October 2 at Gilbert’s Park
in Exeter. There ceremony was for the two girls that stepped up from
Daisies to Brownies.
The program began with the
Pledge of Allegiance and then the Girl Scout Promise. The girls walked over the
bridge at the park with their Daisy uniforms on and looked into a mirror
decorated to look like a pond. The girls repeated a statement from The
Brownie Story about how the Brownies got their name, "Twist me and turn me
and show me the elf, I look in the water and see myself". In
England, the brownies are a mystical creature that people tell stories about,
they are supposedly little elves that come in a person's house and help out
while people sleep.
Brownies are learning to be
helpful and this is why the founders thought it would be a great name for the
group. Each girl switched from their Daisy vest to a Brownie sash, sang
“The Brownie Smile Song,” and ended with the Friendship Squeeze.
