Listening to the Past - Retired Brownie Try-It

Listening to the Past -
Retired Brownie Try-It

Today we spent the day at Pioneer Village in Searcy, AR.  This was the perfect opportunity to complete the Listening to the Past Try-It. There are 6 parts to this Try-It with a requirement to complete 4 activities to earn the badge.

1. Community Stories.
2. If These Buildings Could Talk
3. Visit the Oldest Cemetery
4. Tell Stories of the Past
5. Acting Out
6. Games of the Past

We chose to do 1, 2, 3 & 6.

We got to see the old meeting / school house; climbed all over an old wagon;
milked a "cow" and meandered around the animal stables

Look who's already in trouble with the law!

This is a trapper's cabin

Although I haven't looked for the Listening to the Past badge, I made a small card to put into our Girl Scout scrapbook. Even if I never find or buy the patch, it was an awesome activity that created memories and possibly built character in my daughter (probably). We had such a ball checking everything out at our local Pioneer Village, and it turned out to be a learning experience as well. I highly recommend it!

Until next time!
