This is a classic song, and to be honest I don’t remember if I learned it at camp, in Girl Scout meetings, or in school. I definitely remember singing it at camp though in later years as a Counselor-in-Training there. At camp this was an excellent song to sing in the morning between the flag [...]

It’s been a great year, and I wish I’d have been able to post more for you, but I’m just getting warmed up. I wish you all a very fantastic Christmas and a terrific new year. I pledge to be able to post more badge work activities in 2010 as I upgrade my badge books [...]

This is a great easy craft for younger girls. I used to make these with my grandmother too, so it’s a great family craft. You can use these very basic instructions or allow the girls to embellish the reindeer clothespins more with paints, glitter, ribbons, etc. Super easy and super cheap. Materials Needed: Wood spring clothespins #12 flat [...]

I’ve always got my ear to the ground, and when I saw this I thought it was pretty awesome. Fabric.com is now selling Girl Scout Fabric themed prints. I’ve seen more and more Girl Scout crafty things at retail stores (like the scrapbooking kits at my local craft store), but this is really cool for [...]

"Whoa, what about Jeff Dunham being a right wing racist lunatic? I like his stuff and he's coming to Oakland in February, which I'm going to attempt to go to. I've never noticed a right-wing slant in his show (bear in mind... I don't watch his new Comedy Central show, just the specials) but perhaps this is because it's not overt... if a comedian isn't directly talking about political things, I may not notice a leftist slant since I'm pretty leftist myself, but I'd imagine I'd have noticed a right wing. Also, speaking of comedians and shows, Eddie Izzard is also coming to Oakland in January and I'm going to try to see his show. I saw Christopher Titus last year on my birthday and that was pretty sweet. Gabriel Iglesias is also coming to San Francisco in January but that's a kind of expensive ticket that I'm not sure I'll get... and I've seen him perform live before and even have a photo with him, so that won't be a regret."

This project will require color copies of the PDF she’s designed, which can be downloaded here. Here’s the finished product! Materials Needed: Printed PDFs (on a [...]

This is great little song to sing by the water front, or even while in a canoe! I learned this song while at camp, but you could always sing this on a troop outing to a lake while boating. Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe With the moon shining all around As he glides [...]

Thanksgiving is next week, and this is a great craft to take up a meeting around this time of year. As well, this craft can very easily be done while teaching the girls more about the origins of American Thanksgiving and the importance of tradition and family. If t-shirts are a little outside the budget [...]

"Thanks for the review Scott... I never made the jump to iPhone because I don't want to give up my Verizon service and switch, so this is looking like a good viable option. I'm still biding my time though, waiting to hear more about it from trusted sources :)"

I’m going to guess that if you’re reading this site, you already know who Juliette Gordon Low is. Today, aside from being Halloween, is her birthday. This would be a great opportunity to teach your girls more about the history of Girl Scouting and the life of it’s founder, fondly known in her youth as [...]

This is one of my favorite crafts to do even as an adult! It’s super simple and even younger girls can do it with supervision. Older girls may get a kick out of this craft since it is a more functional craft. Etched glass is completely dishwasher safe and the etching is permanent, so these [...]

Halloween is one of my most favorite times of year. The weather is starting to cool off, leaves are falling, and I’m just a nut for costumes and parties and all things paranormal so I love it! Anyone with children knows that it’s a fun time, but can be costly. So I’ve looked around for [...]

This can be a fun project for older girls with a little more motor skills for the modeling of the clay. Younger girls can still have a great time with this, but the finished product will not be as polished. You can make the frame and cup themed for school mascots, holidays, seasons, or any [...]

A friend of mine, illustrator Jen Goode of JGoode Designs, is hosting a great coloring contest! It's open to anyone, so a great filler meeting activity would be to print out the picture and let the girls color and submit them!
