A Girl Scout event isn't complete without SWAPS! We encourage you to bring at least 25 spooky/safari themed SWAPS per girl to exchange at the party with your Girl Scouts sisters!

 

Community Service-Are you up for the thrill?

I'll be looking for you! And yes, lions love their toys too.

Girls will be able to help Lion Country Safari animals by clicking here for ideas on how to make "enrichments" (animal toys) that you can bring with you to the event. Not feeling crafty? No worries, you can still help the animals by donating any of the following items (gently  used is fine): tube socks, towels, blankets, stuffed animals, paper towel tubes (no toilet paper tubes please) and empty plastic bottles of any size with a lid.
