How Girls Can Help Their Country

Girls sometimes ask, “What was Girl Scouting like in the old days?” Many answers may be found in the first Girl Scout Handbook called “How Girls Can Help Their Country.”  This handbook was used by the great-great-grandmothers of today’s Girl Scouts, who pioneered the excitement and experience of Girl Scouting.  This is the first of the many handbooks used to guide the rapid growth of the movement from the original eighteen members to the millions of members today.

There are different ways to earn our 100th Anniversary Patch depending on your grade level. All activities are broken down into 5 categories:

• Girl Scout Promise
• Leadership
• Courage
• Confidence
• Character

Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts must finish at least one activity in each category.

Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts must finish one activity in each category plus one more activity from any category.

Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts should complete one activity in each category and lead a younger Girl Scout Troop in at least one activity from the patch requirements.

For more information about this patch program you can download this informational sheet or email Susan Miller at smiller at gswrc dot org.

Mom and Me Camp and Climb

Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts can bring their mom to Camp Shawano for a really fun overnight!  Experience the adventure of the climbing tower during the day and sing by the campfire at night.  Campers will also make a camp craft along with some other camp activities.  Dinner and a snack will be provided on Saturday evening and breakfast will be served on Sunday morning.  Climbing tower time is included in the fee.  Everyone will be in a cabin and everyone will receive a patch.

$30 / girl, $20 / adult, no tagalongs
