Bugs & Flowers & Trees
Shades Mountain Service Unit Weekend
Camp Coleman, October 21, 2011
Daisies and Brownies will have a day of planned activities from 9am – 2pm (Daisies) and 9am-4pm (Brownies) including crafts and hike that support the new Brownie Legacy badge “Bugs.” The girls will meet a bug expert, make a few crafts, sing some Girl Scout songs and go on a hike led by older girl scouts. Scouts will need to bring a sack lunch and approximately 20 SWAPS. Brownie Troops may plan camp overnight.
Older Girl Scouts (Juniors, Cadettes and older) will have one half day for Camp Coleman staffed activities and one half day leading the younger girl activities (plan & all supplies will be provided). Troops may select from Camp Coleman staffed activities outlined below for a total of 3 hours of activities for each girl on Sat. Up to 4 hours may be scheduled for Sunday morning if desired. Junior Troops will be provided instructions to complete the Legacy Flowers Badge and Cadette Troops will be given instructions to complete the Legacy Trees Badge independently. Troops should plan to provide all of their own food and bring SWAPS.
Your Troop will need to decide three things:
Lodging:
A) not spending the night
B) spending either Friday or Saturday Night (or both) – need a cabin ($5/person/night)
Please understand that Camp Coleman hosts open air cabins for accommodations which can be considered rugged conditions. Could be very chilly at night. If your Troop plans to spend Friday night, a camp fire will be planned for 7:30pm - please make your own troop arrangements for dinner prior to the Camp Fire.
S.W.A.P.S: What SWAPS (Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere) to bring. A Service Unit Swap will happen after lunch – lots of good ideas available on-line with a Bug theme.
Decide on Activities for Saturday: Saturday activities $5/Daisy or $10/Brownie (no choices);
Older Girl Troops should select and pay for 3 hours of Coleman staffed activities for Saturday. OK to also select up to 4 hours of activities for Sunday, just make a notation on form.
