Girl Scouts are Everywhere-on Land, Sea and Air!


2/1 - Reg Begins 12/1, Reg Ends 1/20 1 PM - 4 PM, GSNEO North Canton

Girl Scouts were doing exciting things in the 1940’s and 1950’s! As “risk-takers”, girls could stretch their wings learning about flight or discover their ‘sea legs’ with activities on the water. They were innovators in science and technology, and were leaders in the social equality movement. Discover what it was like to be a Girl Scout in the 1940s and 1950’s. Find out what a Wing Scout was. Be a “risk-taker” and try your hand at a new activity. You can also sample the arts, music, games and fashions from the period. Participants will receive a segment patch that accompanies the basic Making Girl Scout History patch. Girls receive a bag of items to take home and leaders receive a packet with optional additional activities. Participation in the basic Making Girl Scout History patch program is not required, but is encouraged. Watch for either “Making Girl Scout History” (basic patch) or “Ideas Take Action” (segment one).
