Toddler Onesie

Yesterday my daughter got rid of some clothes that no longer fit her. One of the shirts was an old Cub Scout t-shirt from when her older brother was in scouts. She wanted to save it for her baby brother to wear when he gets older. I said I have a better idea, lets turn it into a onesie.

I got one of Finn's oneises he currently wears and used it to trace a pattern onto the t-shirt. I cut it out and brought it over to my mother-in-law who sewed it up and we attached some velcro to the bottom for a closure. I think it came out really cute!

AHG - Nature & Wildlife Badge

Here are some of the things we did in Troop LA0101 for the Explorers to earn the Nature & Wildlife Badge. Feel free to use the info for your troop.


Req. #6 - We took the girls on a 4 mile hike on the Wild Azalea Trail near Woodworth, LA. The girls each brought a notebook & pencil. We stopped at 3 different habitats, sat silently and they wrote down what sounds they heard. We discussed their findings at each stop. The girls loved the hike and leaders enjoyed it too!


Req. #7 - I put together the following Powerpoint presentation and we discussed each animal: Unfortunately the videos I added did not work but the presentation is still usable.




Req. #10 - I put together the following Powerpoint Presentation and we discussed each fruit or nut:





We still have Req. #8 to complete and one more optional requirement before we complete the badge. We plan to do optional Req. #4 by making pinecone bird feeders at our next meeting for the girls to take home.
