We will be having the Hudson Service  Unit Bridging Workshop on Friday, April 20, at East Woods Commons. The time will be finalized as we firm up the agenda, but plan on something from 6:00 - 8:30 or so (perhaps only 8:00 for Daisies, with Brownies/Juniors finishing later). As you recall, this is a purely optional event, but it does allow troops
that are bridging in May 2012 to satisfy all their requirements to earn the Rainbow Patch. We moved the event to a Friday night in an attempt to avoid spring sports and dance conflicts that are so frequent on Saturdays and back to an indoor event so that weather is not a factor. There will be a nominal fee per troop (generally $10 or less/troop) to cover supply costs. A registration form and price for the event will be sent out over the winter 2012 once our planning is complete. The workshop will have a musical theme this year,
with guest musicians and Girl Scout songs already in the works. 
 
The Hudson Service Unit Bridging Ceremony will be on Monday, May 14, at the Hudson Middle School Auditorium. Again, we will finalize the times as the
event nears, but as we have done in years past, Daisies will go first, followed
by Brownies, with Juniors and Cadets going last. Like this workshop, this is an
optional event and your troop can have its own ceremony if you prefer. The fees
per girl will vary based on level of your scouts, but will include all the
pins/patches/certificates and a small cake/punch reception in the school
cafeteria. Hopefully returning to the school will keep our costs down and make
the parking/transition between groups much less congested than last year!
