S.W.A.P.S.

SWAPS stands for...."Special Whatchamacallit Affectionately Pinned Somewhere"

Girl Scouts are known for swapping SWAPS. Troops would decide on a theme....then girls make a SWAP based on that theme....and then they are exchanged with other troops. There was a huge swapping area at the Washington Monument in NY when GS celebrated their 100th year. Girls swap at camp too....themes can be holidays, GS related, Juliet Low related, Food, Girls, Camping....just about anything!!

Kaitlyn has started swapping with troops/girls from different states/countries. Its very addicting....and exciting while your waiting to see what is coming to you. Kaitlyn has been stalking the mail box daily. Coby has even expressed interest in wanting to find a Cub Scout Pack to exchange with.....after all...swapping did start with Boy Scouts. BS would swap at camps or Pow Wows with councils.

Here are the swaps KK has been making.....
