Summary: Interest Project Patch Book
Review: I am a Cadette/Senior Girl Scout Leader. When I first became a leader of this age group, I found this book to be unfriendly, and very hard. After 3 years experience, I have become the expert, and have helped many other troops find resources. Overall, the layout of this material is good, but as far as resources being readily available as in other editions for younger age groups, this is missing. For younger Cadette Scouts, many of the requirements for the badges seem impossible. It takes a creative leader to make some of the requirements accomplishable and interesting.

Summary: Interest Projects
Review: Interest projects are fun and easy to earn, and all the information and requirements are cleary outlined in this book. The interest projects are categorized based of emphasis (Life Skills; Nature, Science and Health; Communications; The Arts and History; Sports and Recreation). The requirements for each patch include: Skill Builders, Technology, Service Projects and Career Information. In addition to the patch requirements, there are also suggestions for completeing the requirements, such as how to interview, role-play, work with younger girls, conduct research investigations, and deal with saftey issues. Information on managing your projects, working toward the Gold and Silver awards, and writting your own interest project are also included. Every cadatte/senoir girl scout should have this book, as well as anyone who works with girls grades 6-12 and need activity ideas.
