Badge Testing, A Simple Craft, and Program Work

We had an interesting evening this week. We did badge testing for those who were interested, and those badges will be presented at the Holiday Party, along with all others earned this first "term" before the winter break. For those girls who were not testing, we had a craft experimenting with colour blending on leaves made of the same paper that coffee filters are made of, markers, and water. It's a continuation of the experiment that we did for the chemistry badge in ink chromatography.

After the badge testing, we had a discussion of age-appropriate issues and some of the things that girls thought could be done to help with these things. We passed the "talking stick" around and did some drama exercises as well. This helps us to complete our program work so that we will be able to finish the You and Guiding section by the Holiday Party.

For next week:

We are going to do the Physics Badge, as well as few other bits and bobs. Please remember your outdoor shoes.
