Although the idea of "Girl on Fire" for a New Beginning theme isn't original I think the young women pulled it off brilliantly. One of our Laurels found the idea and did all the research for refreshment and decorating ideas. The rest of the work was delegated between the girls and leaders. I put the invitations together using the official movie poster fonts. The girls created fireball poofs to hang from the ceiling. And a welcome poster…. Our Beehive advisor created the dessert table and created labels for all the food using the font from the books. I was so excited to see she'd done that! Keeping with the color over black theme, each girl painted a value onto black poster board and explained how the value keeps her spiritual flame burning. We used all the appropriate labels for things such as: Values = Districts Girls Explaining the Values = Tributes One of our girls received her Young Woman in Excellence that night = Victor And the songs: The Spirit of God...like a fire is burning... and The Lord is My Light. Of course there were speakers, a skit, and some teaching involved so everyone got to do something. The skit was made up by the girls and was hilarious. The prompt was "Show us what Personal Progress is and how it works." So their skit included introducing PP to a classmate, carrying out a service project with her—raking leaves—and then going to a leader (played by a girl of course) to get it checked off in their books. We let the girls practice the skit a week beforehand—I'm glad because we got a lot of blank faces at first LOL. It was a great evening…the Stake YW Leaders were there and couldn't stop their praising. I LOVE that it was all headed up and started with one of the young women. I enjoy seeing what they want to do and the pleasure (and pride) on their faces when it all turns out. I'm sorry, I do not have a template of the invitation to share at this time.

I am REALLY excited to share something I've been working on for awhile now... a Scout-themed mystery hike! It combines elements from Urban Adventure Quests, the Clue board game, and the Encyclopedia Brown mysteries I loved as a kid (affiliate links). It's called 'The Case of the Missing Scoutmaster'. While it takes place in Fairfield, California and stars Scouts from Troop 482, everyone is welcome to play along. If you live close enough to do the hike in person, click here for the instructions for this 2.5 mile urban hike. If you're not local, click here to solve the mystery by using Google Maps.

Thought I would share another activity I had with my Activity Days girls last week. We were on a mission, we went undercover and performed 7 days worth of SecRet SerViCe. Before we got started we talked a bit about service and the blessings that come when we help others. I found some manila envelopes at the dollar store and personalized them with their names on them. Inside I included a pen and these "forms" that they were to fill out during the activity. I also included a list of ideas for serving to help get them going. I was also lucky to find these fun "undercover" glasses to stick inside. Just to help them really get into the part...AND they would know if anyone sneaking up on them ;) (they really did kind of work!) The girls thought it was great. Honestly, I was pretty surprised with how excited they were to get going on their challenge. A lot of them told me they were going to go home and get started right away. Just goes to show that it doesn't take much (couple of bucks at the dollar store) to get kids excited about doing things for others. It turned out to be a fun, easy way to teach the important principal of SeRviNg oTheRS...

Safety is KEY! We were so lucky this year to have a Camp Nurse that was on top of her game. She took a whole week off from her normal job as an Emergency Room Nurse to come and be with us at Girl's Camp. She worked with each Camp Level on learning all of their First Aid Camping Requirements working side by side with our First Aid YCL'S. She did some wonderful hands on demonstrations as well as she got each Young Woman a First Aid Clip with all of the updated First Aid information. I have had several of you ask me about these since they were shown photographed in one of our Pre-Camp Photos. I decided that I would scan the cards and share them with all of you. If I'm able to get a better print out I'll be sure to let you know. Our Camp Nurse and First Aid YCL'S also put together an emergency plan, emergency form notebooks, and safety tips for camp. Way to go girls!!! If you would like a copy of the scanned First Aid Cards...please contact me via email at [email protected] or comment here. Please don't forget to leave me your email address!

When I first started teaching, I didn’t quite know how to approach the drama section of our art curriculum. We would do a few skits, occasionally play a version of Bus Stop where one kid had to make another laugh, and call it a day. I wanted to breathe some life into our drama activities and make things fun again. Improv games were a perfect fit!
