Girl Scouts of Western Washington is excited to launch our new blog space!
We're starting out with a Girl Scout Camp Blog to chronicle our summer, but soon we will be adding blogs about activities, regions, and other great resources.
Have an idea for a blog? Want to be a blogger for Girl Scouts? Let us know! Email Stefanie Ellis at stefaniece@girlscoutsww.org.
There’s still plenty of beautiful fall weather ahead of us – great days for a walk through a park! Sept 18-19 are National Orienteering Days. Western Washington’s Cascade Orienteering Club is hosting a beginners’ event on September 18 at Woodland Park in Seattle. The club also maintains several permanent orienteering courses in parks in the Puget Sound area.
September 21, 2010 is Pinwheels for Peace day. People around the world express their wishes for peace everywhere by making pinwheels and “planting” them around their community. This can be a great troop or service unit activity, or a community event hosted by Girl Scouts.Instructions and event ideas can be found at www.pinwheelsforpeace.com. An annual activity patch is available from Patchwork Designs, too.Lisa
It’s getting to be late summer...we’ve been trying pack the most action and fun into every minute. Now might be a good time to reflect on the summer’s memories and dream about the adventures still to come.
This god’s eye memory collage is a new way to collect the artifacts of a busy summer – and to carry us back to August when February’s chill is in our bones.
If you want a fun and practical project to do with your troop before an outdoor adventure, consider making "stuff" buckets. You can make one for each girl, or several for your troop. They make great containers for a variety of camping supplies, and double as a comfortable sit-upon.
Ahoy, pirates! Camp St. Albans has just left port for Pirate Week! The camp staff has organized pirate meals, games and activities to spread pirate fever. Everything this week is about pirates. From speaking like a pirate to a pirate scavenger hunt. Get ready to set sail!
