Summer Patch Programs

Summer doesn’t have to mean the end of Girl Scouting. Now is the time to get the girls in your Troop together to do some of those activities that require a little more time and a lot warmer weather.  Kayaking, Troop Camping, Ice Cream Parties, Planting Trees and so much more… there are so many fun adventures and exciting memories to make. If you’re looking for someplace to start, try some of GSNC’s Summer Season Patch Programs.


SUM-MORE Girl Scouting Patch Program
In order to earn the SUM-MORE GIRL SCOUTING Patch, the Troop must complete the following requirements:
(a) Participate in two summer activities…. It can be any summer inspired activity that your Troop wishes to do from a picnic to a hike or even a trip to the water park. 
(b) Complete one service project… If you’re looking for some ideas, try a beach clean-up, planting a tree or collecting some school supplies for Astoria Bank’s Kids Tools for School Drive.
(c) Start regular meetings before the end of October… and don’t forget to re-register your Girl Scout Troop.

With some many Girl Scout spending their summer outdoors and at camp, now is the perfect time to talk about sit-upons... a great item to bring on any outdoor adventure . So, when we were challenged to make a sit-upon, we decided to do what Girl Scouts do and use our resources wisely... so, we used some items that we had on hand. Here is what we came up with: Supplies needed : Scissors Already read newspaper Reusable shopping bag Duct tape (we used gold glitter duct tape of course, but an type of duct tape will do) Instructions: Cut the sewed seams of the reusable shopping bag.  Lay the reusable bag out flat (waterproof/plastic side down) and place the newspaper on one half of the laid out bag as shown.  Fold the other side of the bag over the newspaper so that the newspaper is sandwiched between the two sides of the reusable shopping bag. Using the duct tape, tape the seams of the bag that are open so that the newspaper is sealed into the b

Working at a Girl Scout Camp by Maggie Robinson

Growing up I had two dreams: become a world famous best-selling author and be a Unit Leader at Camp Blue Bay. Thanks to my experience working at summer camp, I’ve already been able to achieve one of my lifelong goals! (And as soon as I finish my novel, I’ll complete the other one…)  It all started 15 years ago. I was 8 years old and enjoying the sleepaway experience at Camp Blue Bay for the very first time, but my camp counselors were an enigma to me. They were teenagers and college kids who were also adults, and they were cool but also responsible?? I had never met a person like that before. They were friendly and helpful when I misplaced my water bottle
