If you have been a Girl Scout leader for any length of time, then you are familiar with the three Girl Scout holidays that are celebrated. On February 22nd of each year, scouts around the world celebrate World Thinking Day.

This scouting year, leaders have another opportunity to celebrate on February 22nd…it is Twos Day!

Twos Day Activities


What is Twos Day?

On Tuesday, February 22, 2022, the date written numerically is 2/22/22.

If you have a Girl Scout meeting around that time, you can celebrate this once in a lifetime numerical palindrome.

(For those of you not able to meet around that date, you can celebrate 2/2/22, which falls on a Wednesday).

10 Fun Twos Day Activities

In my Teachers Pay Teachers store, I just created a new product to help both teachers and leaders celebrate Twos Day. For leaders, it is cookie season, and life is busy and can be a bit chaotic with sales. Planning a meeting is just one more thing for you to do, and you may not have the time or energy to create something. You may also want to do something that is not related to Girl Scout cookies.

In this resource, there are crafts, games, movement and community service activities. You can do them in person or virtually. If you are doing this virtually, make sure to leave ample time for families to pick up supplies, whether from you or from the store.

This resource is for kindergarten through fifth grade, Daisies through Juniors.

You can find it here on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Please be sure to follow me on TpT so you can receive updates as to when new products are posted.

Are you planning to celebrate Twos Day? If so, what are you doing?

Girl Scout Barbie I Can Be Anything Do Everything Patch is Available

One of the most popular fun patches for Daisies and Brownies is the Girl Scout Barbie Be Anything, Do Everything patch. Now this rare item is available to leaders!

The Girl Scout Barbie "I Can Be..." Program came out in 2013. There was a booklet and a patch that Daisies and Brownies could earn.

While long discontinued, the program remains a favorite for leaders to do with their younger girls. This is a fun program to do with your girls during the busy cookie season, as everything has been laid out for you to do in the booklet.

It is a rare Council shop that still has some in their storage rooms. However, the PDF version of the Barbie I Can Be Anything, Do Everything program is available for free online.

You do not have to run off every page. Print one copy of what you need and then take it to Staples or OfficeMax to run off so you save on your own personal ink. Give your receipt to your treasurer so you can be reimbursed.

Now that leaves finding the patches.

You can find them in my Etsy Shop.

Update November 2022-I am sold out.

Girl Scout Daisy Cookie Sale Resources

*This post contains affiliate links. 

It's that time of year...Girl Scout cookie season!

If you decided to take the plunge and sell cookies with your troop, here are some blog posts from the past to help you get your bearings.

One thing that girls love is to receive recognition for their accomplishments (and come to think of it, don't we all love to be recognized for a job well done?)

Girl Scout Daisy Cookie Sale Resources

In my Teachers Pay Teachers shop, I have a Girl Scout Daisy Certificate and Cookie Box Label product.  

The 9 items included in this resource are:

  • First Cookie Booth certificate
  • Daisy Specific Congratulations certificate
  • Hard Work certificate
  • Enthusiastic Helper certificate
  • First Cookie Booth certificate
  • Certificate of Appreciation for the girls' help
  • Certificate of Thanks for Cookie Mom
  • Certificate of Thanks for Cookie Dad
  • Set of 8 Daisy "Thank You" labels girls can cut and paste to their cookie boxes

Every girl is going to contribute in one way or another. Some may have a lot of parental support while others will have none. Girls who help at meetings can also be recognized for their efforts.

These certificates can be given at your troop cookie selling celebration. They are perfect for Girl Scout scrapbooks!

What are your cookie goals for the year?
