In the evening we built a camp fire and made smores. This activity can work in a couple of ways: The girls can learn how to start a fire, they can talk to each other without the distraction of their electronics and they can eat sweets. Scouts should be the ones starting the fire, an adult must be present but they should leave the girls to make the fire, it can be a learning experience this way. The girls had a lot of fun setting the fire up, making smores and talking to one another around the fire, it was a success.
Movies at night. Another activity can be watching a movie, obviously this can only occur with the correct equipment. If a TV, projector or DVD player are present then the movie night is a good choice for the girls. Another option could be a couple of the girls watching a movie on a laptop or other electronic devices. Some of the girls, during the weekend watched a movie on a laptop. The movie can be connected to the Girltopia Journey, it can be whatever the girls want to watch. Unfortunately, during the weekend, we had a mini projector but it was incompatible with all electronics.
One last activity would be a spa night. The girls should bring nail polish, cotton balls and nail polish remover. Each girl can do their nails or someone else's. Additional supplies needed would be:
- Towels or newspaper to protect the floor from the nail polish
- Q-tips
- Pictures of designs
- Hair dryer
The girls can create designs and dry them faster than waiting around for the nail polish to dry. Many of the girls decorating their nails had a blast and loved their nails and the designs along with it. Not all of the scouts painted their nails but the ones who did had a great time.
