Sit-upon crafts!

Lynne has offered to help the girls make a Girl Scout sit-upon—a waterproof cushion to sit on outside—on Monday. The sit-upon will be used at Encamporee when the girls sit outside. Before we pay for supplies out of our dwindling dues, we would like you to dig into your closets and see if you have any of these items to donate toward the project:

  - picnic cloths (vinyl with a cotton or flannel backing; we'll cut 14" squares, so if they have damaged spots, we can cut around them)

  - old towels (for filling; we'll cut 12" squares to fill the cushions)

  - duct tape. The more colors we have, the more choices the girls can use to personalize their sit-upon. We can return any unused tape if you would like the rolls back.

If you have any of these supplies, please email with a note on what you can donate. Any savvy Goodwill or bargain shoppers, please be on the look out for these items as well.

Lynne would like to have the squares cut before the 4pm meeting on Monday so the girls can focus on assembling their cushions. Anything that can be sent with your girls on Friday to school, on Saturday if your scout is attending the Brownie Bite camp, or Monday at drop off can go to Lynne or Addison in Mr. Hamby's room. (And if you are handy with the scissors or pinking shears, we welcome your precut 14" picnic cloth squares or 12" towel squares!)

Thanks!
