Around the World

Violet is in her last year of being a Brownie Girl Scout. We are making sure she gets a chance to complete any of the Try-It Badges that she wants to earn. The latest one she is working on is Around the World.

As I type this I am enjoying a wonderful scone she made. We found the recipe in The Kids' Multicultural Cookbook that we checked out from the library. There are a couple of other recipes in it that she is also eying.

Yesterday we read a book about Christmas traditions in other countries. The book had crafts in it as well, so she's going to pick one out to do for the badge also. I think she is leaning towards making English party crackers, but it hasn't really been decided yet.

She'll still have to do a couple of other activities to complete the badge. We were talking about learning more about Girl Scouts from other lands. But for now, we are enjoying our Scottish Scones.

It seems like Violet is right on track to earning her badge. It also sounds like a lot of fun!
