Juliette Low World Friendship Fund Ideas
Half the fun of giving lies in the special and symbolic ways in which contributions are made in troops and councils. Gifts should be given with joy and understanding of the messages they carry to other girls around the world. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Show these Girl Scout movies (borrow them from the Council Office) with a donor box for voluntary contributions to the JLWFF by the door. |

"A World of Friendship" |

|
Tasting Sampler |
|
Sell portions or "tastes" of goodies made by girls with recipes from Around the World. Demonstrations of dances, songs, and customs of various countries would provide an appropriate accompaniment. |

|
|
|
An Australian guarter is called a bob. Guides there earn money for their world friendship by doing odd jobs such as:
wash dogs, cars, windows
collect wire hangers for dry cleaners
pick fruits, vegetables |

Wide Game |

Hike in buddies or patrols through your neighborhood looking for evidences of other countries or cultures: signs, names, statues, etc. Then add a coin to the Fund for every item listed. The winners may represent the troop at the council's Juliette Low World Friendship ingathering. |
|

|
|
|
Representatives from all troops bring their JLWFF contributions to a special presentation or ceremony. It is often held in February, which is International month, or in conjunction with Girl Scout Week activities in March.
