Making Swaps is So Much Fun!


Emily and I are making swaps for her to take to camp. What are swaps you ask? Well the word swap stands for   Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere. And they usually have a theme as to the event that the girl scout is going to. And since it's summer and she's going camping her swaps have a summer/camping theme. The first picture is a picture of popsicle swaps. And second one is going to be a hobo stew swap. They are really fun to make and even more fun when you swap them with friends. Every swap is supposed to have the event name and date, and the troop number of the girl scout. Girls can pin them on their vest or sash, a t-shirt or a hat. But one rule of etiquette concerning swaps is that a girl scout never ever refused to take a swap from another girl scout.There are also lots of websites to give you ideas for swaps. Here are just a few. http://swaps-a-lot.ecrater.com/   http://www.scoutmom.net/swaps/index.htmhttp://www.gsnc.org/resource_room/swap_howto.asp
