The Brownie Sign
and Handshake

To make the Brownie Sign, raise your right hand as high as your shoulder. Hold your first two fingers upright. With your thumb, hold the third and fourth fingers down. Shake hands with your left hand.

Incorporating science and technology into your unit meetings

It is important that we do not make our meetings seem like school, but there are many ways to incorporate science and technology into your meetings and at camp. Just think; if they learn, at an early age, about the science of why things are the way they are, they will have that knowledge forever!!
