Hello everyone, 
  
This is for anyone who might be interested in doing  
"Flat Girl Scouts".  I am new to this program,  
but it sounds like lots of FUN! I just found about it  
within the last few weeks & I have never done it yet. 
This is how it was explained to me, so I myself dont know 
 the actual way to do it.  I am hoping to get my Troop some  
other Troops to share with & get them out for October. 
If anyone is interested, please contact me at:

Thanx, Marlene Baxter 
Brownie Troop #538 ( We are 3rd graders in Front Royal, Virginia)

Hi Marlene  
We are new to flat brownies this year but are really  
excited about it. Our girls are making paperdoll  
versions of themselves-flat brownies. We are mailing  
them in pairs with swaps, a journal and disposable  
camera to troops that have agreed to host us. They  
"visit" the host troop for a month. The host writes  
about the activities our flats participated in with  
the troop, and a little about their area and take a  
few pictures and mail it all home. In the case of  
international troops they will also share information  
about girl scouts/guides in their country. My  
daughter and the other two leader's daughters have  
sent their's out this summer and it's really alot of  
fun. We got the pattern for the flat brownies from  
www.makingfriends.com. They have paperdoll patterns  
for brownies. We enlarged ours to about 8 inches, put  
a photo of the girl and e-mail address on the back and  
lamenated them. There is a flat girl scout group if  
you're interested-

you need any more information.
