Local Girl Scouts take part in bridging ceremony at Golden Gate Bridge

Troop 42037 in San Francisco at the Bridging Ceremony

May 2-4, Girl Scout Troop 42037, led by Melissa Gates, took ten girls to San Francisco to walk over the Golden Gate Bridge to become cadet girl scouts.

The Golden Gate Bridging is a Girl Scout tradition that brings girls from all over the United States to make the symbolic walk across the bridge to symbolize their promotion to cadet scout.

The girls raised money for the trip by selling 6000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, and putting on a pancake breakfast and craft fair last November.

The bridging ceremony was held on May 3. They were able to spend two nights and explore the city.

The troop meets at Ridgecrest and has members from Parkwood, Mountlake Terrace and Ridgecrest.
