Girl Scout Hall of Fame

Girls love current popular music...so I take a popular song and add my own words, turning it into a fun new Girl Scout song that we sing at camp and events. Here are the lyrics to "Girl Scout Hall of Fame."
Girl Scout Hall of Fame
(to the music "Hall of Fame" by the Script)
Yeah, you can be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the King Kong banging on your chest

You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door

You can throw your hands up
You can beat the clock (yeah)
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks
You can be a master
Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself to others....

Standing in the Hall of Fame (yeah)
And the girls are gonna know your name (yeah)
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame (yeah)
And the girl's r gonna know your name (yeah)
And you'll be in the Girl Scout Hall of Fame

You can go the distance
You can run the mile
You can walk straight through heaven with a smile

You could be the hero
You could get the gold
Breaking all the records needed to be broke

Yeah, do it for your people
Do it for your pride
How you gonna know if you never even try?

Do it for your troops
Do it for your name
'Cause there's gonna be a day...

Standing in the Hall of Fame (yeah)
And the girl's r gonna know your name (yeah)
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame (yeah)
And the girl's r gonna know your name (yeah)
And you'll be in the Girl Scout Hall of Fame

We are Girl Scouts, We are Girl Scouts, We are Girl Scouts, we are Girl Scouts

Jr. PA's (Program Aid)

Image
Anyone who has a Girl Scout or leads Girl Scouts will eventually hear about PA's. What is a PA? The PA is a Program Aid who receives leadership training which teaches them to assist younger scouts at events and at camp. What age level can girls attend PA training and become PA's? Girls in 7th grade and older are qualified to become PA's, according to GSUSA. However, girls can attend PA training toward the end of 6th grade, since many Girl Scout summer camps need PA's to assist with their programs. The camps are also a great opportunity for the PA girls to begin their leadership experience actually leading younger scouts. I have a pilot program idea however, that addresses the needs of today's girls and could help our tween girls stay in scouting. In 2014, GSUSA reported that there was a decline in membership of over 400,000 girls and adults. The result equates to a 6% decline in girl members in 2014.     As a service unit manager, I have watched as area service u

The Unlikely GS Service Unit Manager

Image
I am an unlikely Girl Scout Service Unit Manager, or so I thought. I didn't beg for the job, nor did I ever aspire to be a free employee leading hundreds of girls and leaders. I loved running my daughters troop, but went to the monthly service unit meetings as my obligation and thought that you must be a little bit wise and a little bit crazy to be a service unit manager. As I've now learned, it's really more like a lot crazy and the wise part will come, only after becoming a service unit manager. I accepted the position when nobody else would. The competitor in me just didn't want to see my local service unit go down in flames. All of the parents claimed they were too busy and too tapped out juggling kids and responsibilities, to assume the responsibility. I had those excuses (or reasons) too, but luckily, I had no idea what I was signing on for, so I said "Ummmmm, okay...I'll do it." That first service unit meeting as service unit manager was a bit

Girl Scout Masquerade Ball

Image
My camp Program Director Mindy Hostetter, designed a Masquerade Ball and Girl Scouts from our service unit and neighboring service units were invited. The event was held in the early evening at a local middle school, using their multi-purpose room. This event was a big hit!! Event details: Cost $20 per pair (father/daughter, mother/daughter, etc). $30 per family (yes-siblings were included, making this a fun family night). Hours: 5-8pm. 1) Hire a local DJ or see if any parent has some DJ skills. 2) Mindy rented a Photo Booth which the kids loved. She contacted local vendors and one gave her a great deal, since it was for Girl Scouts. 3) Craft table: the kids could color and make a craft masquerade mask. 4) A table was set up with masquerade mask sugar cookies, frosting and sprinkles and the kids decorated their cookie. 5) Parents from the hosting troop made foods and desserts and donated them to the event. 6) Create invitation, stressing that it is a dress up event (no jeans or t-shir
