And be a sister to every Girl Scout Emeralds are sisters in green. These may be added to a jar, strung on a necklace or added to a treasure chest as each one is read.
A variation on "The GS Law in Jewels"--The
GS Law in semi-precious stones which are much easier to find in the form
of powerbead bracelets necklaces or from bead vendors. It's also very
easy to substitute different stones (ie. malachite for aventurine, etc.)
We have ten girls in our troop, so after reciting each law I gave each
girl one of the representative bracelets as a surprise. They seemed to
appreciate receiving something nice that they could wear anytime.
