My baby girl is a Senior now

Nicole had her Girls Brigade badge ceremony last night. Shes been attending Girls Brigade since she was 4.5 years old. Even though the usual starting age is 5. When girls turn 9 they are promoted from Juniors up to Seniors where they stay until they are 13. At 13 they go to Pioneers for 4 years then they're done as 'girls' and can do leadership training if they wish.

Because Nicole has been at brigade since she was 5 she was promoted to Seniors with all 4 of her junior stars. The first year they get their blue, then their green, their red then finally their gold. Say a girl starts when shes 8 she only spends one year in juniors and only gets her blue star.

So anyways Nicole was very excited to get her gold star and to be promoted to seniors. She did get a bit sad when she realized that Mrs Steele would no longer be the leader working with her anymore though.
