learning-journal-121x150Learning Journal

Chana Barak, one of our leaders for Troop #262,  recently created a new product called the Learning Journal. It’s 200 pages of prompts to track how and what you learn. While she originally created it as a tool for her homeschooled child, it makes a great scout journal too and can be used brush up on badge topics before leading meetings with your troop or for girls to track what they are learning.   If anyone is interested, you can find it on Amazon tinyurl.com/mq9wugj , you can also follow on Instagram for more pictures @learningjournal .(posted with permission)

binder-150x108Tips and Treasures

From Elizabeth Simmons

My helpful hints for organizing the badge record binder – where I keep all of their badge forms and the level log. 1. Buy a BIG binder. 2. Use colored paper for the level log. I bought a pastel pack from Office Max and use pink for preschool, yellow for Level 1, blue for Level 2, green for Level 3, and lavender for Level 4 and leaders. 3. This year I am adding the year they will finish the level in the corner. I am forever forgetting who will be advancing and repeatedly ask my parents about grade levels as I’m making plans. Maybe this will help. 4. Buy another BIG binder to archive members records when they move up or leave the club.
