Activity Days Centered Around Women from the Scriptures

We met at park with a large rock wall. If I had the budget, I would have prefered to meet at a rock climbing gym and, after the lesson, spend the whole time rock climbing. But we work with what we have! If you don't have a park with a rock wall or a budget for a rock climbing gym, any big obstacle will work just as well. To start, each girl has their assignment: Opening prayer, opening song, Article of Faith, Gospel Standard, taking attendance and snack!

I'm a Girl Scout Troop leader called to be the Activity Days Leader for the 8 and 9 year old girls. I want Activity Days to have purpose and substance. I want to make a difference in these 10 girls' lives and not just babysit them. I'm creating our activities around the women in the scriptures and tying this in with the Faith in God requirements. I'm relying heavily on the blog Women in the Scriptures . For ideas I'm using several of the field trips I've done with my Girl Scouts. We meet twice a month. The general outline is to learn about one women from the New Testament and one women from the Old Testament every month. Once a month we meet at a leader's house and once a month we go out!
