Council's Own Awards
Brownie Try-It
Speaking in Sign
Girls and Troops from other councils are welcome to use these requirements and purchase the patch online. Complete 4 activities:
 
1. Learn the finger-spelling alphabet. Practice signing your name. Sing the ABC song as you sign the letters. Learn to count to 20 in sign language.
2. Learn to sign the Girls Scout Promise and the Pledge of Allegiance.
3. Put on a short play that others are familiar with (like The 3 Bears) without talking... use signs, gestures and mime. You can even use props and costumes. See if your troop mates can guess what play you are doing.
4. Learn to sing a song in sign language. Sing and sign it for you troop mates or parents.
5. Visit your local library and check out children’s books that are written in words and signs. Practice reading and signing the stories.
6. Make a pin to wear showing the universal sign for “I love you”. You can do this by tracing your hand onto craft foam or heavy cardboard. Bend down the ring finger and middle finger and glue them to the palm. Attach a pin back with glue. You could also make the pin using clay.
