Last Friday the Girl Scouts of Malad celebrated the 113th anniversary of the formation of the Girl Scout movement with a birthday party.  The actual anniversary was March 12, but due to that falling in the midst of cookie season, the celebration was delayed.

The girls had an enjoyable afternoon of party games, a craft, Girl Scout trivia and a Girl Scout themed Kim’s game (observation and memory) that has been played by Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Girl Guides around the world.  Pancake flipping was one of the favorite games by far. This was a game that was popular when Juliette Gordon Low (founder of Girl Scouts) was a child.  The girls had to flip the pancake and catch it using only the plate.  One girl had a record of over 200 flips before she dropped it.  Others increased the difficulty by standing on one foot and flipping.  After a rendition of Happy Birthday, the girls got to enjoy a cupcake in honor of the Girl Scouts
Anniversary.
