Kobe International Girl Scout Activities

Girl Scouts has been around for a long time and surely you have an idea of the uniform but....what do we actually do at meetings?  Here are some examples.

Community (all age) events: once a month

•  We have a book sale.

• Christmas party where we collected food and other items to donate.  Older girls made cosmetics, younger girls made a snowman from a sock.

• Hiking and a picnic at a park in Kita-ku.

• Talking about the environment for World Thinking Day at a park in Suma-ku.

• Tea party where we learned table manners and invited a guest.

• Camp.

Troop events: once a month

• Daisy, grades K-1 & Brownie, grades 2-3: taking a walk and painting the colors we saw in nature. Writing letters to Scouts in the USA.  Discussing what is needed for camp and having a relay with those items.  

• Junior, grades 4-5: horseback riding, creating a shake-proof mini structure, making a campfire. 

• Cadette, grades 6-8: skiing, rafting, archery.  Experiences taking care of young children and consulting those who care for young children.

• Senior, grades 9-10 & Ambassador, grades 11-12: our older girls are working towards Gold Awards. We had a Scout achieve a Gold Award in 2021-2022.  It's a laudable effort and can even lead to a scholarship.
