Ideas for Working with Girl Scouts

Every time Kappa Deltas get together with Girl Scouts there is sure to be lots of fun, laughter and learning on both sides. If you are planning an event, whether you are a KD or a Girl Scout leader, you can use the following ideas as a springboard to develop an activity that works for your group. Please let us know what you are doing so we can add your ideas to the list. Just send your ideas to KD National Headquarters.

Some ideas include:

Host a Uniquely Me! event to promote self-esteem among girls of any age.
