Materials needed

• Brownie Wings, Girl Scout pins, Membership Stars and green disc
• Brown construction paper, cut to represent stones, or paper bags cut the same way; write a Girl Scout Law on each one
• Refreshments (optional)

The Brownie Girl Scouts sit on one side of the room in a Brownie Ring, and the Junior Girl Scouts sit in a horseshoe (always make the open end toward the audience) on the other side of the room. Place your Stepping Stones between the two groups and tape them down to the floor.

OPENING: Everyone sings "Girl Scouts Together," found in the Girl Scout Pocket Songbook (or others).

Girl Scouts together, that is our song
Winding the old trail, rocky and long
Learning our motto, living our creed
Girl Scouts together in every good deed

BROWNIE LEADER:
You’ve been a Brownie and you’ve earned your wings of sunlight gold
Now you’re ready for Junior Girl Scouts, new adventures you’ve been told

(The girls all stand.)

BROWNIE LEADER:
I would like to present my Brownie Girl Scouts their wings; they are ready to fly-up to the next level of Girl Scouting. As I call your name, please come forward.

(As they come forward, pin on their wings.)

JUNIOR LEADER:
Each step of Junior Girl Scouting can be filled with fun and adventure. As a troop, we would like to welcome you.

The Brownies walk on the stepping stones and enter the horseshoe. With the Brownies facing the Juniors, the Girl Scout Sign is made and the girls recite the Girl Scout Promise.

Have the Brownies and Juniors face one another, and walk forward to the stepping stone with the first Girl Scout Law printed on it and have the two girls say the Law. Now, the next pair of girls come and stand on Law Two; continue until all the Laws are said. If there are not enough girls in the two troops, they may have to do this as single girls instead of in pairs.

JUNIOR LEADER:
With the help of (Brownie Leader’s Name) we would like to present our new Juniors with the Girl Scout membership pin. (Pin on Girl Scout Pins.) At this time you may also wish to give the girls their Membership Stars and green disc.

BROWNIE LEADER:
We will now all sing "Make New Friends."

Make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver and the other’s gold
A circle is round, it has no end
That’s how long I want to be your friend

JUNIOR LEADER:
Junior Girl Scouts you’ll be for a few short years
Make the most of each day that goes by
Be cheerful and helpful and do a good turn
And greet each Girl Scout with a hi!

Juniors

Bridging Brownies are given several opportunities to become involved with their new sister Junior troop to ease and enhance their transition into Junior Girl Scouting. It may valuable to involve the younger girls in the Junior. troop with the bridging Brownies, so their newly forming relationships don’t end as those Juniors bridge to Cadettes. The bridging Junior’s would naturally be the most involved in planning their bridging ceremony, with the assistance of their new Cadette sisters.
