Faith crossed the bridge tonight in her Daisy Scout bridging ceremony. It sure brought back memories of my scouting days and the fun times I had. She has many yet to come. I think back on this year and the new and exciting activities she was able to participate in. Some of the activities were Christmas caroling, sewing scarves for the homeless, making sandwiches for shelter children, pajama party with the older Girl Scouts, Not so Spooky Hayride and Bonfire, and of course the Monday afternoon Daisy meetings. As I watched the older girls tonight I was thankful that Faith was given the opportunity to belong to such a great organization. There are so many badges to earn and honors to be given. On Girl Scout was recognized for giving her father the heimlich manuever, which she learned how to give from another girl scout. Faith has grown alot this school year and I was so proud of her getting her Daisy year end pin and bridge patch. The night was filled with good food and dancing. Faith loved getting her dance on with the professional DJ. Her and her friends jumped, danced, shouted and giggled. Tonight is definitely what scouting is all about. What made the night even more memorable was the fact that another girl scout who was like a big sister to her at the pajama party remembered her and even danced with her. The thought that Faith was more than just this scared little Daisy scout to this older Girl Scout, she turned out to be her newest friend and "sister." There is nothing to not like about Girl Scouts.
