Archive by Date | Archive by Article Title College Scholarships and Girl Scouts My older daughter´s troop is entering sixth grade and going to middle school. With that transition to middle school or junior high, there is often a drop off in Girl Scout membership. This fact has got me thinking about retention. Looking your Best Badge Idea My Junior troop recently had another one of those "WOW!" experiences. We have been working on the "Looking Your Best" badge and as a part of that, I went looking for a store to host the girls so that they could learn about fashion. Troop Crest History Like so much of US Girl Scout history, the story of troop crests begins in Great Britain. When Juliette Low brought the idea of Girl Scouting to Savannah, she brought along the tradition of patrol crests. Each patrol chose the name of a flower, tree, shrug, or bird as its symbol. The first four c Insignia on Girl Scout Vests One of the trickiest challenges of being a Girl Scout parent is figuring out where to place items on a Girl Scout vest or sash. Girl Scout Homework Recently, a Girl Scout list that I am on recently had a thread about homework and its place in Girl Scouts. A list member wrote in that she was having difficulties with girls not completing the homework required to earn badges. Junior Badges 101 For new Junior leaders moving up from Brownies to Juniors, the badges can at once seem to be "more of the same" and yet "new and confusing." Geocaching and Scouting I have discovered geocaching, as have my kids, and we are all addicted. Geocaching is a natural fit with Girl Scouting, combining high-tech "compass skills" with hiking. Camping Adventures Begin We are finally striking out to camp at a regular camp site. As a troop, our past trips have been to a Girl Scout camp that I refer to as "Camp Hilton." Still More Program Changes I had so much fun writing about the new program changes that amount to nothing new in my book, that I thought I would complete the trilogy this week with an article focusing on the rest of the information I have related to the changes. More Program Changes In my last article, I focused on the name changes that will be in place in the Fall of 2008. Alongside those changes, GSUSA has announced some other change, albeit nothing as tangible as the name changes. This article will focus on the "new" leadership philosophy.
