Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony

I made one of these for each of the girls with the badges, patches and pins they had earned.

Girl Scout Kaper Charts

Two Kaper Charts made for my troop meetings when they were mostly Brownies and Juniors. We use a smaller chart in a binder now that they are all Cadettes but at the time they really liked the bigger visual. A kaper is a job or chore that must be done. In Girl Scouting, a kaper chart is prepared which indicates all the jobs available and who is responsible for each one.

Girl Scout Camp Helpers

A kaper is a job or chore that must be done. In Girl Scouting, a kaper chart is prepared which indicates all the jobs available and who is responsible for each one. We let the girls pick the creature they wanted to use to represent their patrol.

This is a handwashing station. It was made by lashing together three PVC pipes. A golf tee keeps the water from coming out between washings. You can hang a soap pump or a bar or soap inside a piece of nylon panty hose. The bucket catches the excess water to keep a puddle from forming underneath.

Girl Scout Cookie Booth

My husband made this Girl Scout Cookie Booth using a pallet and few 2x4's. The top comes off and the whole thing folds up using four hinges. The sign, which also comes apart using bolts, nuts and washers, was made using some 1x1's, a piece of plywood and chalk paint.

 

Girl Scout DIY Bridge

Last year, there was no time or truck available to get our Service Unit's bridge so my older son and I made this one out of three pallets. Two pallets sit on the ground while the top pallet straddles them. It's not perfect but it comes apart and can be set up fairly quick. Instead of painting it, we choose to stain it a dark color. We used chair spindles for the posts.We made it one day so some of the posts are a little crooked (I'm not very good with a drill). Our girls are bridging at the end of this month so I'll set it up before and try to fix some of the spindles so they are straight.
