American Heritage Girls - Pathfinders - Honor My Country

We're back in the swing of things at AHG and my little Pathfinders have lost their shyness and are full-blown gigglers. We have spent 2 meetings on Honor My Country. The first being used to complete our Pathfinder Paperbag Book pages regarding this topic.

At the recent meeting, half of my time was used by one of the Pioneers who came and worked on a craft with the girls. This craft is something that will be used at our camp out in a couple weeks during our Sunday worship service. They decorated the fingers of a garden glove with different colored pom-poms and googly eyes to make Gospel Fuzzies. (To see what it looks like: Gospel Fuzzies Example)

The rest of the time was spent fulfilling a requirement for the Honor My Country requirement. I told them again about the significance of the American Flag, its colors, number of stripes and stars, and then they got to make their own flag - if they could design their country's flag.

By using just a piece of construction paper, some tape, and a shish-kabob skewer, I made the base of the flag. They used markers and I helped them cut out shapes to glue on.

I forgot to take pictures at the meeting - but here is SugarBee's flag creation.
