Swaps are a fun part of a Girl Scouts Life. They are little "whatever's" made by another Girl Scout, Leaders, friends, pen-pals, etc. and are traded at events, camp, by mail, swap meets etc. Swaps can be quick simple little crafts or elaborate little items that take lots time to make. Here are some fun samples as well as some links to get more information on SWAPS. This page may take a minute or two to load.
	This little green angel was made by simply tying a ribbon into a bow, placing a little angel charm on it and a pin on the back.
This butterfly was made using some kind of plastic "o" that you melt in the oven. You can find them at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

This Ice cream swap is too cute. It is a coke bottle top with a cotton ball and paint for the icing and the cherry.
