Christine 'bridges' to adult Girl Scouting

Fanwood-Scotch Plains Girl Scouts gathered May 31 to honor girls who had achieved the organization's highest awards, and to mark the passage of Girl Scouts in the class of 2011 from high school to adulthood.


Christine is among 20 girls in the two towns who remained active in Girl Scouts through high school. Fourteen of those were in her troop, of which her mom, Julie, is a co-leader. Twelve of the 20 were present to symbolically cross a bridge to adult Girl Scouting as they near graduation. Above, Christine poses with several of her Troop 441 friends.

Julie is nearing the end of a three-year term as Service Unit Manager for Fanwood-Scotch Plains. This year five girls from the service unit achieved the Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouting. This photo of the award recipients with Julie and a Union County government official appeared on the local Patch news web site.
