The final
bell has rung, the last textbook has been read, and the teacher has cleared all
the assignments off the Smart Board. School is officially out and it’s time to
welcome summer in. Kickback, pour yourself a tall glass of sweet lemonade,
chill poolside and soak up the sun, because you’ve made it through another
successful school year.
Just because
school has ended doesn’t mean your Girl Scout fun has to come to an end. Register
for a Girl Scout camp. Enjoy the great outdoors, roast some s’mores, meet Girl
Scouts from all across our council, and make memories to last a lifetime. You
can get a jump start on earning badges or design your own. Check out www.gsusa.org for more details on how to make your
own unique badge. Make a “R.A.K.S” list, and try to complete all your “random
acts of kindness” by the end of the summer. There are tons of fun Girl Scouting
activities to do this summer, just think BIG!
So what is
on your summer “to do” list? Travel to faraway lands and immerse into a new
culture? Download a page turning mystery that will keep you on your toes? How
about start a new hobby? Challenge yourself to do something you have always
been interested in, yet never had the time to start, such as trying a new recipe,
taking an art class, or learning how to fish. It is always fun to try new
things. Invite a friend to try something new with you, the more the merrier! There are lots of events going on right
outside your door like Girl Scouts Day at Wild River Country, Saturday, June 22nd.
Check out other great activities we found going on in your community.
Tell us what
you have planned for the summer or suggest other fun activities in your area.
Hope to hear
from you soon!!!
