EARNING YOUR BRIDGE TO JUNIOR GIRL
SCOUTS AWARD
Every Brownie Girl Scout receives her wings at the end of her Brownie Girl Scout years – known as “flying
Up”. In addition, some girls choose to earn their Bridge to Junior Girl Scouts rainbow.
You need to pick at least ONE activity from each of the six steps to Junior Girl Scouting to learn what is at the
end of your bridging rainbow.
1. FIND OUT ABOUT JUNIOR GIRL SCOUTING
* Ask a Junior Girl Scout or an adult who works with Junior Girl Scouts to tell you about Junior Girl Scouting.
* Find out about the awards (badges and signs) for
Junior Girl Scouts by looking at a Junior Girl Scout sash, vest, catalog picture, or the Just for Girls Web pages at www.girlscouts.org/girls. Look through the Junior Girl Scout Handbook
and Girl Scout Badges and Signs. Find out about the badges, the signs, and
the leadership pin. Look for differences between Brownie and Junior Girl Scout activities.

*
Take part in a special event put on by your community service unit, council, or a Junior Girl Scout troop for Brownie Girl
Scouts bridging to the Junior Girl Scout level.
2. DO A JUNIOR GIRL SCOUT ACTIVITY
* Do an activity from the Junior
Girl Scout Handbook or Junior Girl Scout Badgebook.

EARCH CONNECTIONS BADGE
#4 READING
THE RINGS
Find a tree stump where you can read the growth rings. A year’s
growth consists of a light and a dark ring. In order to figure out how old a
tree was when it died count each dark ring and add five to the total (for the early years when growth is hard to see). Look for years of rapid growth (the wider rings) and years of slow growth. What might have caused the differences in the growth years?

* Do an activity from a Junior Girl Scout Issues for Girl Scouts booklet, such as Connections, Read to Lead, Girls Are Great, or Media Know-How.
* Do a Junior Girl Scout online science or technology activity on
the Just for Girls Web pages (www.girlscouts.org)
Note from Rebecca -- it looks like the Just for Girls website
has been reorganized. I couldn't find any activities that were specifically for Juniors. I think if the girls
do the "My Planet" games - it will count.

I also found this Girl Scout website http://www.girlsgotech.org/ which the girls could also use to complete this requirement.
3. DO SOMETHING WITH A JUNIOR GIRL SCOUT OR A JUNIOR GIRL SCOUT TROOP
* Attend a meeting or event as the guest of a Junior Girl Scout troop
or group.

* Do a service project with Junior Girl Scouts.
*
Write to a Junior Girl Scout pen-pal (mail) or key pal (e-mail) who lives in your area or another state.
4. SHARE WHAT YOU LEARN ABOUT JUNIOR GIRL SCOUTING WITH BROWNIE OR DAISY
GIRL SCOUTS
* Make a poster or collage, or create a poster or flier on the computer, to show others what Junior
Girl Scouts is all about.
* Put on a skit or special program about a service project or activity that you did with a Junior Girl Scout.
* Teach a song or game that you learned from a Junior Girl Scout.
COMPLETED: Cambri, Marin & Sabrina
5. PLAN AND DO A SUMMER GIRL SCOUT ACTIVITY
(If your Brownie Girl Scout troop or group has its bridging ceremony before summer, you can
receive your Bridge to Junior Girl Scouts award before doing this activity. However, you should do the activity before your
first Junior Girl Scout meeting in the fall.)
* Go to a Girl Scout day or resident (sleep away) camp.
