Hello everyone, This is for anyone who might be interested in doing "Flat Girl Scouts". I am new to this program, but it sounds like lots of FUN! I just found about it within the last few weeks & I have never done it yet. This is how it was explained to me, so I myself dont know the actual way to do it. I am hoping to get my Troop some other Troops to share with & get them out for October. If anyone is interested, please contact me at: brownietroop538@hotmail.com Thanx, Marlene Baxter Brownie Troop #538 ( We are 3rd graders in Front Royal, Virginia) ********************************************************** Hi Marlene We are new to flat brownies this year but are really excited about it. Our girls are making paperdoll versions of themselves-flat brownies. We are mailing them in pairs with swaps, a journal and disposable camera to troops that have agreed to host us. They "visit" the host troop for a month. The host writes about the activities our flats participated in with the troop, and a little about their area and take a few pictures and mail it all home. In the case of international troops they will also share information about girl scouts/guides in their country. My daughter and the other two leader's daughters have sent their's out this summer and it's really alot of fun. We got the pattern for the flat brownies from www.makingfriends.com. They have paperdoll patterns for brownies. We enlarged ours to about 8 inches, put a photo of the girl and e-mail address on the back and lamenated them. There is a flat girl scout group if you're interested- groups.yahoo.com/group/flatgirlscouts/ Let me know if you need any more information.
