LAKE HILLS SERVICE UNIT INTERNATIONAL DAY EVENT
Date: Sunday, February 24, 2013
General Schedule for the event:
1:30 PM – check in /setup
2 PM – 2:45 – Cultural Show – song/dance/skits (limit 10 acts, about 3 min each)
2:45 – 4 PM – “tour of the countries – get your “passports” stamped
4 – 4:30 PM – clean up
Place:
Bee Cave Elementary Cafeteria and Gym (no food allowed in the gym) – we can use the cafeteria tables!
Please let us know if your troop would like to participate this year, pick a country and let me know: tuulikki@zworksdb.com
See the list below for troops already signed up and countries they have picked.
What you will need:
1. Study country with your troop and make a display of your country.
2. Small food or drink samples from your country.
3. Swaps representing your country. (What’s a swap? Examples can be found on the internet.)
4. A stamp to stamp passports of girls visiting your table/display.
We expect about 225 girls to attend.
The “passports” will be given to girls at the check in. (Suggestion: Bring a passport size picture of each of your girls and glue them on the passports. Last year I printed pictures of the girls in my troop on a 8.5 X 11 regular paper and cut them out ready to be clued. Since I was in a hurry I cropped the pictures out of a group picture.)
We will have a Cultural Show as in previous years. There will only be time for 10 acts (about 3 minutes each max). Let us know if your troop will sing/dance/act out something representing your country. First come first serve. Plenty of room here as of this posting.

Girl Scouts of the USA is addressing the following theme for World Thinking Day 2013: girls worldwide say “together we can save children’s lives.”
If your troop would like to participate with this theme, set up a booth or come up with an activity, let us know.
We will post updates as necessary as we get closer to the date!
