Crafts and Activities

Found in this Blog

As we move through our journey in girl scouts, we do many, many, MANY crafts and activities.  As a matter of fact, we do *at least* one at EACH meeting.  As a result, I've compiled quite a list of fun, easy crafts.  Sometimes, you don't want to wade through each patch requirement to see what the craft is within it, so I've gathered them here.  

I'll list the title, a short description, and a link to the craft.  Enjoy!
