National S’Mores Day - August 11

Did you know that a Girl Scout invented s’mores? It’s true! 

In 1927, a recipe for "Some More" was published in Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.

Celebrate your Girl Scout spirit on Monday, August 11, 2020 - it’s National S’Mores Day!!

How will you celebrate? If you have a fire pit, you could roast marshmallows and make s’mores by adding a piece of chocolate and sandwiching your chocolate and marshmallow between two graham crackers.  You could also try making them in the oven (just a few seconds under the broiler as an open face sandwich... add the top cracker when it comes out). You could experiment with making s’mores dip!

Maybe you would like to try some s’mores crafts!

S'mores SWAPS

SWAPS stands for "small or special whatchamacalit affectionately pinned somewhere" and Girl Scouts love to make and trade them.

To make these adorable s'mores SWAPS, all you need is some light brown foam or cardstock, some of a darker brown, a cotton ball, a safety pin, some glue, and some googly eyes (or a marker if you want to draw the eyes on).

  

S'mores Sign

To make this little cutie, you just need some popsicle sticks, some cardstock or foam, white paint, glue, a black magic marker, pink paint, a hole punch, and some yarn.  Make sure you cut one popsicle stick in pieces to serve as support structures on the back.

  

However you celebrate National S'mores Day, HAVE FUN!!
