Brownie Quest Take Action and Bridging Buddies

We participated in our service unit's Bridging Buddies activity. We got together and planted flowers at Scout House. This helped complete my Little Brownie's requirement to work with a younger troop (Troop 6787 Daisies). So now she has completed her Bringing requirements for next year!

Troop 6081 was also there and they will be bridging to Juniors this year. We had also visited with a Junior troop earlier in the year.

16 girls in attendance!
This project could not have worked out more perfectly. We had to brainstorm (4th time is a charm), the Who, What, Where, How Much, and Resources Needed for the project. We (each group) brought flowers to plant. I brought bottled water, another troop brought snacks, (3 first aid kits were within reach), and except for the storm that started brewing towards the end, it was a perfect and beautiful day for gardening.

Isn't it pretty?

The girls had a blast digging in the dirt and twittered like little birds the whole time! We had the opportunity to hand out 10 more Making Friends patches. I had already given 8 (If I remember correctly) to Troop 6081 last time we joined them for an activity.  I hope I can find a different patch for next year - my source is sold out!

So we are finally finished with Brownie Quest. We are going to continue to do badge work over the summer, but we haven't decided if we are going to try to knock out another journey yet. I am researching "Journeys in a Day" - and there are a lot of great ones to try. Makingfriends.com have Journeys in a Bag, but I'm not sure if it's worth purchasing a whole kit just for one girl. My Little Brownie isn't really concerned about the Summit Award, so I would have to show her what I find and let her decide. 

Here are my binder cards and I hope everyone has a great summer!
