Girl Scouts Bridging into the Next Century at Disney World

Disney

The Girl Scouts organization is turning 100 this year. To celebrate, special Bridging events have been planned across the country. One is being held in Savannah, GA, the home of the first Girl Scout, Juliette Gordon Lowe. Another, which is open to Girl Scouts of all ages, will be held at EPCOT this May. Bean is currently a Daisy in the troop that my sister and I run, so we have decided to attend this special event.

The celebration will take place May 25-28, 2012. Girls will participate in a special welcome and recite the Girl Scout Pledge before dividing into smaller groups for the bridging. Characters will be available at the bridging to congratulate the girls and each Girl Scout will receive a commemorative item from the event. The Bridging event will take place at 8am on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th. Breakfast will be available, as an add-on at additional cost, after the bridging. Breakfast will consist of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, tater tots, bacon, French toast sticks, oj, and coffee. Disney will also have a swaps area to trade with girls from across the country, so don't forget to make something special to take with you.

An additional add-on is the Disney Youth Education Series Program: Many Cultures, One World, that will focus on Girl Scouts around the world. It is open to all Girl Scouts except Daisies, and will take place on Friday the 25th and Monday the 28th. Ticket packages for the event are available for 3, 4, or 5 days, at a considerable discount. On-site hotel rooms are also available at either the All-Star Sports Resort or Caribbean Beach Resort. This would be a great opportunity to celebrate with your Girl Scout and have a family vacation at Disney World.

Additional information is available from Disney and from the sponsoring troop, Girl Scouts of Citrus.
