Animals |
Apr - May 2001
-We did several fun things like go to the local Zoo and had
a tour of a pet store! At the pet store, we toured
the pet hospital they had there too! |
Cookies Count |
-Jan-Mar 2001
We learned about how to conduct a cookie sale. This included
safety issues and manners. |
Hand Sewing |
- Jan-May 2001
We learned about different needles used in sewing, made a
needle holder and decorated it
with different stitches, made a sewing kit and sewed our try-it
onto our vests/sashes! We also worked on a service project
where we made some tiny quilts for tiny babies when they
leave the hospital! |
Manners |
- Nov. 2000
We learned about Table manners and Phone manners,
and how differrent
people greet each other in different countries! Do you remember
the differences between how you speak to your Grandma
or Grandpa, and
how you speak to your friends? |

Science Wonders |
- March - April, 2000
Wow, did you know that a black marker *really* isn't
black? We learned how to find and separate
the colors that make up
marker ink! It comes form a scientific technique called Thin
Layer Chromoatography (or TLC). We also learned to make gak!
(also called
slime by some!) |
Art to Wear |
- January - March, 2000
We made fabric beads from strips (pre-cut) of fabric rolled
up with a coffee stirrer inside. The coffee stirrer stayed
inside, and whatever was sticking out on either end was cut off.
This made it easier to thread onto string. We also made
zipper pulls made from gimp, we finger-wove scrunchies from loopers,
and learned to make pins from gift wrap or tissue!
Other planned projects:
- paper beads
|
Caring and Sharing |
Danielle R. was working on her Silver Award
project and we were the recipients! She set up stations were
we made little hand quilted sqaures which will eventually
be sewn together for small quilts for babies in the hospital,
we learned to make small bracelets (this project
may soon "re-appear" for our "Art to Wear "Try-it!)
from plastic gimp (also known as art lace). We also helped
make cookies for the Frederick Food Bank,
and made special Valentine's Day cards for a local
nursing home. |
Girl
Scout Ways |
We learned all about the meaning of the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl
Scout Law. We also learned about the "Five Worlds" and we
made a necklace that showed all of these together! We
also learned about days that are special to Girl
Scouts such as Juliette Low's Birthday (she is the founder of the
Girl Scout movement) and Thinking Day (Feb 11) when we think about
other Girl Scouts all over the world! |
Safety |
We made our troop's first -aid kit, and we decorated the bag
all the supplies are in, with our names! I wonder how long
we will have the same bag...and how many girls will
remain in this group...before we stop using it!
We also learned about playground safety, personal safety in the
home and outside of the home and fire safety. |
