Great Programming in Southern Utah

I attended two excellent programs this weekend. 

The sleepover for older scouts had the perfect blend of programming and free time.  Girls participated in a Girl Scout version of "Clue", made jewlery, tried their hand at knitting, played games, danced, snacked and had a great sleepover!

The Fall Day Camp at Tonaquint Park was perfectly orchestrated.  Girls moved around the park participating in crafts, relay races and a scavenger hunt.  They ate lunch, sang camp songs, traded SWAPS, and made new friends. 

Leave a comment if you participated in either of these events - tell us what you think!
