Hello Girl Scouts,
We need your help in creating a Bucket List of Fun Patches you would like to try, teach or do with your
Girl Scout sisters throughout your Girl Scout journey. There are hundreds of ideas, so we have created
this list to find out what ideas you would MOST like to do and then we can bring a shorter list to discuss
within upcoming troop meetings to plan for our Troop Bucket List.
Some of these activities we can do at your current age, others we might need to wait until we are a little
older and we can look forward to doing these in future years. Please consider asking for your parents’
input because they know us well and might be able to share their experience with certain activities.
Below are categories to help us have a well-rounded program, where we try a little bit of everything.
Please rate an activity 1 to 5 (1 open to trying it – 5 definitely interested).
If you have other ideas for activities, be sure to write a note.
