COOLEST ROCK EVER
Random Things That Don't Fit Anywhere Else Kinda Like Me No Comments national center west, trip out west
At National Center West, you could choose from a long list of various activities and sessions. One activity that I participated in was a hike to a river. Unfortunately at the time, I had one of those cheap Kodak 110 cameras that took horrible pictures at the time that look even worse now. I’ll scan some in from time to time, but just know that there’s really not a lot that I can share. Continue reading

Farthest North GS Council Website Header Graphic
Random Things That Don't Fit Anywhere Else Kinda Like Me 3 Comments councils, farthest north council, graphics
While doing looking up Council’s Own badges, I came across the Farthest North Girl Scout Council website, and I just have to say that I love the header for their website! Love the aurora borealis and snowflake graphics!
FWIW, I think my girls would have a hard time earning the Dog Musher badge here in South Carolina.

The Old Girl Scout Leader
The Grand Scheme of Things No Comments change lives, girl led, leadership, make new friends but keep the old, making a difference, shares

Reminiscing 1 Comment memories all alone in the moonlight, mrs. vickers, newspaper clippings, sonja, squirrel, stories, trips, troop 20, world's fair
Remember the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville? No? What’s a World’s Fair? Do they still have them? Apparently they do – although it looks like they get cancelled every once in a while. In the summer of 1982, I was almost nine years old, and I remember there being a lot of buzz about THE WORLD’S FAIR and how big of a deal for it to be hosted by Knoxville, home of the Tennessee Volunteers (no comment coming from this Georgia Bulldogs alum).

2015 Thinking Day – Bengal Tiger Tail Swap
Ideas No Comments activities, girl led, service unit, swaps, troop 2562, world thinking day
Our service unit always puts on a Thinking Day event, and I’m sure yours is similar. We’ve done countries a million times, so for the past few years, we’ve had variations on Thinking Day. For example, last year we highlighted countries’ holidays. Each troop can pick one (or two – or three!) different ones to present. Continue reading
