Also, if you are interested in Campus Girl Scouts, join their Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/campusgs/) or visit their website (http://www.geocities.com/campusgs/).

Interesting. We haven't heard anything about this in my daughter's troop. I looked at the GSUSA web site and they do have everything split between 11-14 and 14-17. It seems a little awkward to say "My daughter is an 11-14 Girl Scout". Perhaps I'm just a sucker for tradition though
And, they're still doing a bridging ceremony for the 14 year olds to go up to the 14-17 Girl Scout category. I'll have to ask my daughter's leader about this.
ETA: I'm not crazy about the Studio 2B format because the books are so expensive and you have to buy so many of them. Having everything in one handbook was much easier. I'm trekking to Council constantly now.
