If you want to play this game and don't want to put together the cards, make sure to use this free printable PDF with all the scenarios ready to use.

What we need:

• Three large pieces of paper with parts of the Girl Scout Promise written on them.

• A set of small cards with scenarios

How to Play:

1. Place these three large cards in different areas of the meeting space.

2. Review the Promise: Start by having the girls recite the Girl Scout Promise together. Briefly explain what each of the three lines means and how the three fingers of the Girl Scout sign represent those three parts.

3. Divide into Teams: Split the Brownies into two or three teams, depending on how many girls you have.

4. The Scramble:

   • One of the leaders will read one of the small scenario cards aloud.

   • The teams must quickly talk amongst themselves to decide which of the three large Promise cards the scenario belongs to.

   • The teams then run to that large card.

   • When all 3 teams have gotten to the card they think it belongs to, have them explain why, and then share the correct answer.

Handshake Integration: After each round, have the girls celebrate a correct or incorrect answer by giving each other a Girl Scout Handshake. This reinforces the handshake as a symbol of friendship and congratulations.

Here is a easy game to play with your girls its fun and educational. It wont take long for your girls to learn the law!

Cut out all the shirts and socks, you will need a clothes line and safety pins. You can play the game as a relay game or as a timed game.

• If you do relay print two sets, have each team run down add part of law and next girl adds next until whole law is together.
• If you do it timed you would just lay all the pieces out and time girls to see how long it takes them to put in law in order.

Revamp your troop's Kaper chart with a fun and interactive twist! Create a tree-shaped display using a plastic container as the base. Attach clothespins to represent the branches, and cut out adorable monkey shapes for each task or responsibility. As the girls complete their assigned tasks, they can move their monkey along the branches, adding a playful element to the chart. Not only will this creative approach make the Kaper chart more visually appealing, but it will also keep the girls engaged and excited to fulfill their responsibilities.

This is a great craft that will allow girls to work together a group making unique friendship bracelets that everyone has a part in each one. 

Divide them into small groups or sit everyone in circle if small troop. Each group will work together to create a friendship bracelet, passing it around circle and taking turns adding their own unique touch. You can use any kind of beads that the girls can then add 1 or two beads to each one then pass it to next girl. When your bracelet makes it back to you then it is done.  

*Note you might want to mark some how so girls know which one is theirs. First time I did this there was a lot of confusion with group.
