Girlscout swaps

Whether you’re attending camp, a council event, or an activity with a sister troop, SWAPS are a great way for Girl Scouts to break the ice and make new friends! This tradition of exchanging keepsakes first began on a large scale at national Girl Scout Senior Roundups in the 1950's and 1960's. Today, these friendship…

Today I'm sharing another fun swap from Girl Scout Camp. To see the definition of SWAPS, check out my previous post! We used this swap to commemorate our "Clean Up" job kaper (chore) at camp.

I was thankful because this was an EASY SWAP to make and I had all the supplies already except the little pins for the back. You just twist two pipe cleaners together. Cut them in half…

The first time I saw a glow stick, I was maybe 11 or 12 years old. My parents were having a bonfire in their backyard - the type of bonfire that's about the size of a minivan - which was pretty normal for us in rural Ontario. (Yep, we were super sophisticated that way...) All the kids had these thick, neon yellow, super bright glow sticks to help light our way to the back of the yard in the dark. It was a bit of a hike to get out there - lots of steps, rocks, hills, even a small bridge that
