made ours out of polarfleece. A little sewing is
required, but the whole project is fast and easy. Get
the instructions here.

"For every 100 girls who join Girl Scouts"
For every 100 girls who join Girl Scouts:
- Four will earn the Girl Scout Gold Award - the highest award
for girls.
- Twelve will have their first contact with a church.
- Five will earn their church religious award.
- Only rarely will one be brought before juvenile court.
- One will enter the clergy.
- Eighteen will develop hobbies used during their adult life.
- Eight will enter a vocation that was learned through the
badge or patch program.
- Seventeen will be future Girl Scout volunteers.
- One will use her Girl Scouting skills to save a life.
- One will use her Girl Scouting skills to save her own life.
That's a pretty good return on an investment in Girl Scouting!
