I got to thinking, did a Google search, and found out there is in fact a Flat Juliette. How amazing is that?! There's several of them floating around in different forms for various projects. I thought, why not do something similar for our girls this summer? Lots of us travel or do cool things over the summer, and this would be the perfect way to keep scouting going through the summer, and make an awesome first meeting next year!
First up, supplies. The Colorado Girl Scouts have the templates on their blog, yay! Body Uniform It's two pieces, but to make it easier, you can put the two together ahead of time like so to make it simple. You should also think contact paper, or another way to laminate it. I'm thinking about printing it on card stock just to save a few bucks.
My plan right now is to have the girls color/decorate them before our last meeting so that I can take them home and laminate them. Then I'll send them home after our last meeting with instructions on what to do. Since we have kindergartners and first graders in our current troop, we will sadly have to split the troop up next year. Since I'll be holding a parent's meeting in March, I am planning on taking the Flat Juliette's with me to the meeting to give our new girls something to do while us parent's talk, and so they won't be left out during our first meeting.
Even if the girls only go to the pool all summer, or if they travel somewhere exotic, they'll have a fun way of chronicling their summer, Girl Scout style! Plus, this activity just planned out half a meeting for me, which made my life easy.
