Girl Scout Crunch Bars

My 24 hours off from camp on the weekend and I found some Girl Scout Crunch Bars!  I only saw full boxes of two of the three flavors, but since I wanted to try them all I bought a single bar of each.  They were a little over a dollar each and the only place I found them was at a local CVS pharmacy.

The Caramel and Coconut is my favorite!

Sangam's Friendship Bracelet Project

A couple months ago I found Sangam's Friendship Bracelet Project on the WAGGGS website and just had to make some to send along in hopes other sister guides and scouts purchase them. They are selling

these to local kids and visitors to help fund their projects. If you visit Sangam in the next year, be

sure to pick up a few! Here are the 10 I made and sent, in all sorts of colors:

They also have the option to put tags on the bracelets with your email in case someone wants

to get in touch with those who made the bracelets. (I have yet to hear from anyone.)

Surprisingly, they sent back a postcard saying their thanks. It was awesome to get a postcard from India!

If you send some friendship bracelets, be sure and post a link here to show off what you made!

The Green Blood Song

The Green Blood Song to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean"

My life revolves around Girl Scouts Oh how did I end up this way? If I'm not talking about Girl Scouts Then I have nothing to say CHORUS: Give back, give back Oh give back my life to me, to me Give back, give back Oh give back my life to me I once was a cute little Brownie, Then a Junior Girl Scout too, Cadette and First Class, I stuck with it I was a Senior were you? I learned how to camp and recycle Rode horses and saw my first play It helped me serve God and my country It made me what I am today. At last when my daughter reached school age A leader I signed up to be We had a great time all together My daughter, the others, and me. My evenings are filled up with meetings My weekends with field trips and camp In between I'm working on paperwork Quickly developing writer's cramp! My family is used to the bedlam But sometimes it raises their ire I know they will never go hungry As long as there's wood for the fire. You can tell now that I am a Leader, Craft supplies fill up every spare spot, My house is a big storage unit, Room for a car in the garage there is not! I've a roomful of ribbon and lanyard A box full of paper and glue A bin full of baby food jars A craft? Yes, I've got one for you. The Cookie order has gone in and now I'm off to camp out. Imagine my shock at cookie pick up, I forgot to divide by 12, look out! I've worn a hole in my new shoes I know every street sign by heart But my daughter's the troop top seller Delivering cookies in carts. My daughter sits rolling her eyes, My husband just walked away This morning they got a surprise The tent's in the backyard to stay I got a strange look from my neighbors When I made my fire circle today I asked if they wanted some S'mores But all of them ran away. But then she reached middle school teen years Decided she had to be cool And none of the girls still in Girl Scouts Were the ones she hung out with at school. But I was still busy with Girl Scouts Found it was my purpose in life I love my husband and family But I’m more than a mother and wife. My daughter won’t say the phrase Girl Scouts My husband is sick of it too My son says he’s burned out on camping They’re waiting for me to be through. You can’t even walk through my basement There’re boxes and boxes of gear I’m hoping to use it all someday We could live on the stuff for a year. But I might as well sign up for lifetime My blood will forever be green I feel like I’ve dozens of daughters And Daisy would know what I mean.
