Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines has several types of activity resource kits available for your troop to explore. The kits are an excellent way to enrich your regular troop program, and they include hands-on activities your girls are sure to love!
Hands-On History
This kit was created by a Girl Scout as a portion of her Girl Scout Gold Award project. Girls will have the opportunity to explore women's history, as well as etiquette and the history of toys. The kit includes many great examples of popular toys from the last two centuries. This kit is available for check-out from the Raleigh Service Center.
Money Counts
Girl Scout Brownies and Juniors will experience hands-on activities that help them learn about the value of money, cost of living, budgeting, comfort and knowledge with banking procedures, customer service, and steps to owning a business. Girls also can practice working with cash, checks, and credit cards. The kit includes a guide for leaders, calculators, play currency, a cash register, and board games. This kit may be checked out from either the Raleigh Service Center or the Goldsboro Service Center.
Respect the Can Anti-Litter Activity Kit
The Wake County Division of Solid Waste Management has partnered with Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines to develop the Respect the Can patch. By completing 5 of 10 litter-related activities, Girl Scouts will learn, act and teach about all things litter. The Respect the Can Activity Kit is available for check-out from our Fayetteville, Goldsboro or Raleigh Service Center. The activities are
divided into three categories: "Understand the Issue," "Take Action,"
and "Educate Others." Girls must select at least one activity from each
category to make up the five.
Zink the Zebra
Kelly was a typical little girl who loved friends, family, books, swimming, animals and computers - except at age 11, she lost her battle with cancer. While undergoing treatment for cancer, Kelly wrote a story about a zebra named Zink who has spots instead of stripes. Zink questions why she is treated differently just because she looks different on the outside.
Kelly's story expresses the pain associated with the withdrawal of friendships due to misconceptions about physical differences. The message she relays conveys the importance of friendship, tolerance, and acceptance by others.
The kit contains a small plush Zink, storybook, and curriculum for activities. Additional optional materials may be ordered through the Council Shop at the Goldsboro Service Center. Check-out is available from either the Raleigh Service Center or the Goldsboro Service Center.
