Bridge

Bridging ceremonies mark a girl's move from one level of Girl Scouting to another. Bridging is an important transition in a Girl Scout's life. It's a defining moment when a girl becomes aware of her achievements and is ready for new adventures and responsibilities. Celebrating this change should be fun, personalized, and memorable for everyone involved. And most of all, it should be designed by the girls in true partnership with adults. Please note that at this time, bridges are only available from the Goldsboro and Raleigh Service Centers.

Cookie Costume

Dress up your next cookie rally, booth or event by posing as a beloved Girl Scout cookie. There are cookie costumes to represent each one of our great cookies.

Cookie costumes will be available beginning December 2021.

Flags

Ceremonies help Girl Scouts mark special events throughout the year, such as bridging to another level, earning a National Leadership Journey award, or getting a Girl Scout pin. Ceremonies can commemorate accomplishments or add something special to the beginning or end of a group's meeting. Girls can plan a ceremony around a theme, such as friendship or nature, and express themselves in words or song. Whatever its purpose, every Girl Scout ceremony helps girls share in Girl Scout history and traditions—and create their own special memories. Reserve the flag kit for your next ceremony or special event. Each kit contains the Girl Scout, USA, the North Carolina State flags.
