Happy Traditions Tuesday!

Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere (SWAPS) are small tokens of friendship that girls share with other Girl Scouts they meet while traveling. Show off your SWAP collection! Where were you when you received it and what special person gave it to you?

Ways to Explore Traditions Tuesday

  • The Girl Scout Sign, raising 3 fingers of the right hand with the thumb holding down the pinky, represents the 3 parts of the Girl Scout Promise. Teach the Girl Scout sign to someone you know and tell them what it means to you!
  • Do a good deed, even something small! The Girl Scout Slogan, used since 1912, is “Do A Good Turn Daily.” The slogan is a reminder of the many ways that girls can cont ribute positively to others every day.
  • Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere (SWAPS) are small tokens of friendship that girls share with other Girl Scouts they meet while traveling. Show off your SWAP collection! Where were you when you received it and what special person gave it to you?
  • Create a piece of artwork (drawing, craft, skit, or other) that represents your favorite line of the Girl Scout Law.

Bonus: Invite a friend to take part in your favorite Girl Scout tradition! 

Experiencing longstanding traditions with your fellow Girl Scouts is a fun way to make new memories. And there’s plenty more where that came from — we’re gearing up for Early Renewal and everyone is invited to bring a friend to join Girl Scouts for another year of fun.
