One of the most exciting things a Junior troop can do is to travel to San Francisco and do their bridging to Cadettes across the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge! Registration will open in October on the Nor Cal Girl Scout website. It’s a travel project that takes about a year to plan and is incredibly rewarding. Lots of troops in San Diego have made the journey.
Here is the 5389 troop itinerary from a trip taken in 2012. I think it’s helpful to see that there are lots of different ways to take this trip!
Several troops in our region make the journey every year. We’ve set up a Facebook group for San Diego leaders who are making this trip with their girl scouts. You are welcome to join and network together. The url of the page is:https://www.facebook.com/groups/217789335047933/ and the name of the group is “San Diego Girl Scouts Bridging in San Francisco”
Troop 5152 put on a few workshops to help train other troops and guide them on this exciting adventure. Here is the Insiders guide to SF Bridging_2015 powerpoint that we made during the workshop we gave in the fall of 2014. Here are our tips and guidelines to help you make the trip. Beware, the prices all need to be updated to today’s prices!:
