Gratitude Journal

Our Girls will be working on their Discovering You program area this week. We will be creating journals which will cover the areas of:

•  "What's Important to you" #2 (Create a journal or scrapbook that highlights the things you are good at or have an interest in. For example, your topic could be working with children, sports, friendships, a special interest or collection, or a hobby. If you wish, share your work with others.) 
• "Fit & Healthy" #5 or #6 - it will work for positive statements. 

I have created the template below for the girls to complete everyday for the week.  

I then put 4 on a page, and printed it double sided.  The template is available here --> Gratitude template (the preview may look like it is 3 pages, but it will be 2 pages if you download the documents and open it in Word)

The girls will cut the page the in half, add a coloured sheet of paper on the outside, sew the book together, and decorate the cover of their books.

While the girls are decorating the cover, we will discuss some examples for each section.

SWAPS ideas

These are various SWAPS my unit made. Any that don't have our unit/troop number on the front, are listed on the back.  Here is a Word document that has all the templates

Ontario Rally Day SWAPS

Our unit will be attending a provincial rally in May. We made these to take with us. We printed the outline on the printable Shrinky Dink paper, and the girls coloured and wrote on them before we put them in the oven. Attached is the template and examples we used.

WAGGGS friendship knot SWAPS

Here is the WAGGGS Friendship knot SWAPS we made.  We used a glue stick to glue them to the paper and keep them together. I am including the Word document with the front & back template and instructions for tying the knot.
