Step into the past and discover the roots of Girl Scout
greatness with Trefoil Time Machine: The Founding Era (1910s-1920s).
Travel back in time to the earliest days of Girl Scouting, when
campfires crackled, telegrams buzzed, and girls blazed new trails in a
changing world. In this immersive, hands-on journey through the 1910s
and 1920s, Girl Scouts explore life during the movement's founding era
and uncover how courage, confidence, and character have shaped our
legacy from the very beginning.
Through themed crafts, role-play, and storytelling, Girl Scouts will dive into the Girl Scout experience of a century ago-and make meaningful connections to who they are today.
Badge in a Box is a fun self-guided rental experience where Girl Scouts can engage in Pillar activities their troop using council-provided materials. Each box includes everything you need to complete a full program!
This Badge in a Box allows Daises to complete their Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout Petal and Brownies & Juniors will complete The Girl Scout Way badges through the lens of early 20th-century Girl Scouting. They will also recieve the Girl Scout Museum Patch.
