Monday: Women in the Military

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Use this infographic to learn about famous women in the military. To use the infographic click on the images to fun activities, websites, and videos.

To become a woman of honor like those you will learn about through this infographic you need to have good leadership skills. You can learn these skills by working towards earning your High Awards. Click here to more information on the highest honor a Girl Scout can receive.
Tuesday: Summer Kick-Off Campfire

Join Molly Charli Murphy, Camp Director, and Program Manager - Outdoors, for a Zoom LIVE! Virtual Campfire and Sing-A-Long to celebrate the beginning of summer!

The theme for the campfire is TIE-DYE so come dressed in your best tie-dye (or tie-dye inspired) outfit. Costumes, hats, and fun accessories are encouraged :)

The campfire will be approximately 1 hour long. Click here to register to attend!
Wednesday: Senior Care Care Badge

Senior & Ambassador Girl Scouts come prepared to ask Ross, our very own Girl Scout Dad & Mechanic, questions about Car Care maintenance. He & his Girl Scout daughter Mia will join us on for a Zoom live as we explore the steps of vehicle maintenance.

This badge teaches girls safe driving tips and how to take care of a car, as well as information about fuel efficiency and engineering. As some girls prepare to learn to drive or are leaving for college in their new first vehicle these badge activities will help to prepare and raise awareness for how girls need to be safe while on the road.

Register to attend today!
Thursday: Rube Goldberg Machine: Engineering Challenge

Learn about simple machines and chain reactions as you work through this engineering challenge. Create a complicated machine to do the simple task of squirting hand soap or sanitizer into someone's hand.
