Girl Scout Garden Tour September 22, 2009
On Sunday, August 30, Girl Scouts, along with Operation Christmas Child, hosted a garden tour with master gardener Jane Horn. Jane’s garden is in Prior Lake. It was absolutely beautiful. Jane gave her talk so that it included all the information for Girl Scout Brownies and Juniors to earn a badge and for Cadette and above to be well on their way to an interest patch. Admission to the event was a donation of school supplies to be used at the Girl Scouts box packing party in October or early November.
Kristine DCamp, leader of Troop 21594 had 4 girls from her troop. Luanne Anderson leader of Troops 10519 – 2 girls; 10651 – 3 girls; and 11202 – 2 girls.
- Laura, Wednesday, Maggie, Miranda, Michele, Krista, Grace, Kyla, Jane Horn, Heidi, and Hannah. Not pictured: Simone.
Jane, the master gardener, was a girl scout herself. She wore her Girl Scout pins from when she was a girl. The girls that attended thought it was really great that she still had her pins and so proudly wore them.

Horse Lovers Badge Workshop November 19, 2008
On Saturday, October 10, the Campus Girl Scouts from the University of Wisconsin- River Falls, held a workshop to help girls earn their Horse Lover Badge. A morning session for Girl Scout Brownies (and a few Girl Scout Daisies, too) focused on horse care, breed identification, and even a new twist on the song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.”
.
The afternoon session also focused on skill for the older girls, Girl Scout Juniors and Cadettes. They also learned care of the horse, parts of the saddle, and more. At one of the stations the girls learned how to saddle a horse. Not having enough horses for all, they practiced with pony saddles, using each other as the ponies.
.
All the girls spent some time riding on “Shrek” the horse.
.
The Campus Girl Scouts planned and carried out all the activities, with the help of the Block and Bridle club.
