Golden Gate Bridging

This blasted Covid-19 pandemic has put the squash on some many aspects of our lives. Everything from grocery shopping, work, school to socializing has come to a halt. Until recently, when things started to shift with the vaccinations. And that meant that our Girl Scout troop would make up for the cancelled Golden Gate Bridging (two years in a row.) So on a recent Sunday morning, our troop met up on the north side of one of the most iconic landmarks in the world and did our own version of bridging.  The typical Northern California weather did not let us down! There was fog and wind as we made our way across the span. But we still had a fun time, enjoying the view and this unique opportunity.

When we crossed the bridge, we made our way to Chrissy Fields, where the two older scouts (who bridged a few years back), met us with cheers. There, we feasted on boxed lunches under skies that were clearing up and with sun actually peaking through! It was a great way to celebrate the milestone of becoming Cadets and also our strong cookie season (even in a pandemic our troop sold over 3000 boxes of cookies!). The day got me thinking about the things I want to do with our troop once we are finally in the clear to go ahead and get back to some sense on normalcy. But even with this crazy year, our troop still has had fun and shared their ideas as we move into our tenth year as Troop 32039.
