Where is Brownie Elf?


Yesterday we participated in a Girl Scout Service Unit even called "Where is Brownie Elf?"
It took place in downtown Plainfield.  We had different stops we needed to make.  It was a beautiful fall day so we walked it!


 First stop was the library where we had to find Brownie Elf.

 The girls spotted her all over.  In fact,  I think there were 32 Brownie Elves there!



Then we walked down Main Street to go to our next stop.
 Things got a little hairy as we crossed the bridge with a very narrow sidewalk...

But we made it to our next destination...the train depot!




Next, we walked to city hall to find the Girl Scout tree that was planted a couple of years ago.  Here we are sitting in front of it.
 Then we headed to Settlers Park to make campfire snacks!  


 The girls built an edible campfire using pretzels, marshmallows, and candy corn. Yum!


 Then we stopped in the gazebo to learn about Brownies.  We had a little candle ceremony there.
 Our last stop was Electric Park where the girls got a quick history lesson on it.  Very cool!


 Finally we ended up back at the Village Green where the girls got into groups based on the color of their hats and did a skit.



What a fun event!
