Earth Day Event

There was an Earth Day event put on by another troop in our service area yesterday.  We had 2 girls attend.  It took place at Ridge Run County Park.  It was a beautiful day out!

Here is Makiah picking out which flower she wants to plant.

They took recycled milk cartons, wrapped a piece of ribbon around them and put a gem on it, took wire and made the handle and strung beads on the wire.  Very pretty!

 The 2nd craft they made was a wind chime.  It was made from a coat hanger and then we strung on bottlecaps and either a fork, spoon, etc. for the bottlecaps to clank against.

 This was my favorite craft and I just happened to see one in a store for sale the week before.  I should of checked out the price.  These bracelets were made from can tabs and some ribbon.  It was actually a little hard to learn, but, we eventually got the hang of it.

Lastly, they went on a hike thru the woods lead by older Girl Scouts and every so often there were facts hanging from a tree about how to protect our planet, etc.  They each received a little bag of trail mix to take on their hike.  I think a FUN day was had by all!
