Ivy's 100 WC #3

One little teddy bear
Lay on the sidewalk
Like a star in the sky
A little cuteness in the sadness
It may be beautiful
But it looks so lost
Like a little boat
Lost in the dark, deep sea
But in that darkness
There is a glow
Of hope and kindness
If a child comes upon
This little teddy bear
They might say:
“Oh! When I see this bear,
My heart will break and I will see
My grandmother, smiling
Saying comforting words, hugging me with
Her warm hands.”
They will hug the teddy

And soon it will have a home.

girl scout outdoor adventures

From the backyard to the country, Girl Scouts has a long, built, and successful history of getting girls outdoors. In fact, many Girl Scouts tell us “camping trips” are one of the best things about their Girl Scout experience. It’s true: connecting with nature in a all-girl setting is a big benefit of belonging to Girl Scouts. Studies show that girls today are not spending nearly enough time outdoors. Technology and structured activities leave less time for girls to get outside and enjoy nature. But as a Girl Scout, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to create her own outdoor adventures and develop a lifelong appreciation for nature and the out-of-doors—whether with her troop, at camp, or with friends and family. And that’s great news—because when Girl Scouts get outside, they: Discover that they can better solve problems and overcome challenges Develop leadership skills, build more socially, and are happier overall Become team players and care more about protecting our envir
