Girl Scout activities for all ages

Community Service Ideas star
Community service can a be a large part of your troopīs Girl Scout program. Although the possibilities are endless, I thought Iīd share a few of my favorite with all of you.

Cookie Booths star
Cookie booths are the fast and safe way to sell cookies in a time when many parents no longer feel comfortable sending their kids door to door.

Ding Dong: Girl Scout .... Nuts? star
Did you know that Girl Scouts have a fall product sale?

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.

Girl Scout Clip Art star[offsite link]
Black and white graphics... not really clipart so much as drawings. Most suitable for coloring and all age levels are represented.

Thinking Day Report star
I had a few requests for a follow up article on how the big day went. First of all, my criteria for success in Girl Scouts is to ask a simple question of the girls in attendance. That question is "did you have fun?"

Thinking Day Revised star
Thinking Day has caused me to spend a lot of time thinking this year. First of all, our normal location for our annual event is not available this year. Normally, we use the school cafeteria, but this year another group is using that facility.

World Centers--Our Chalet star
