Knot Tying and Duct Tape are the skills of the month! Learn the many ways knots and duct tape can help you in daily life and prepare you for unplanned survival situations.

Service Learning

Start the Y Guides year off by choosing a service project with your Circle. Find a project that everyone is passionate about from cleaning up hiking trails to organizing a food drive to gathering warm clothes for the homeless, the ideas are endless!

If you're running low on inspiration or want to add a quick project into your monthly meeting, work together to create a Birthday Party in a Box!  Gather balloons, a cake mix (just add water), birthday hats, candles, and streamers. Donate to a family shelter so when a birthday comes up, they have an instant party available!
