Looking for new ways to energize your troop meetings? Join us for a fun, active day filled with classic Girl Scout games, songs, traditions, and activities you can bring back and use right away!
Spend the first session learning engaging songs and games that require little to no supplies, making them perfect for filling extra time, building teamwork, and creating meaningful moments with your troop. You'll leave with a take-home song and game book filled with activities from the session.
Then, dive into the traditions that connect Girl Scouts across generations and around the world. What happens in a Friendship Circle? Why do we use the Girl Scout Handshake? What does WAGGGS stand for? How do you create and exchange SWAPS? Explore these questions and more as you learn about the customs, ceremonies, celebrations, and milestones that help build Girl Scout identity and sisterhood.

* Two hours of learning classic Girl Scout songs and games, along with the history and traditions behind them
* A take-home song and game book featuring activities covered during the session
* Two hours exploring Girl Scout traditions and how to lead them during troop meetings, events, and ceremonies
