Snacks

The girls enjoy sharing a snack at the end of their meeting. Volunteers are asked to sign up in advance to provide snack for a meeting. Here are some guidelines and suggestions:

- Plan portions for 25 girls
- No nuts
- We don't have bowls, so you can expect the girls will be eating the snacks with their hands
- If you bring something sweet, please also bring a nutritious "snack partner" like fruit or cheese. Past snack examples: popcorn and cheese cubes; cinnamon cookies and blueberries; little carrots and pretzel mix.
- You do not need to plan a drink -- we assume the girls have a water bottle with their lunch box
- It would be helpful if you included napkins

If you have any questions, just let us know. Thank you!

How to Iron on Girl Scout Patches

Iron-On Instructions:

1. Remove packaging. Check to see if there is a white release-paper backing on the patch, and if so, remove that as well.
2. Pre-heat iron for 5 minutes on high setting. DO NOT use steam.
3. Iron area of garment where emblem will be placed for 25 seconds.

4. Place emblem in desired location on garment.

5. Place a light-weight press-cloth over emblem. Using a back-and-forth motion, press firmly with iron for 25 seconds. DO NOT apply hot iron directly to embroidered area.

6. Turn garment inside out. Using a back-and-forth motion, iron the back side of the emblem for 45-60 seconds while pressing firmly.

7. Turn garment right side out. Place press-cloth over the emblem. Iron the edges of the emblem (outside the stitching) to ensure that they are properly sealed. DO NOT apply hot iron directly to the embroidered area.
8. Allow to cool thoroughly.

What is an Investiture?

What is a Girl Scout Ceremony?
A Girl Scout ceremony is one method used by members to express the ideals of the movement. It is also a symbol of honor recognizing a special event or circumstance.

What is an Investiture?
This ceremony is for both girls and adults. It marks becoming a Girl Scout for the first time. In this ceremony, girls and adults who wish to become Girl Scouts have met the GSUSA standards for membership:

• accepted the Girl Scout Promise and Law,
• and are (girls) between the ages of 5 and 17 or (adult women and men) age 18 or over.
The person being invested:
• Says the Girl Scout Promise,
• receives the appropriate Girl Scout pin, and
• is welcomed into Girl Scouting.
