Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Badgerland Council has a mission to build up girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. We provide K-12 programming in the areas of STEM, the outdoors, life skills and entrepreneurship. At many of our events, it's Girl Scout tradition to exchange "SWAPs" which stands for: Small or Special whatcha-ma-call-its Affectionally Pinned Somewhere. SWAPs are a small symbol of friendship that Girl Scouts proudly display on their sash or vest. They can be a momento of a trip taken together as a troop, a memory of a time they tried something outside their comfort zone or just a way to say thank you for being a sister to every Girl Scout. 

We are currently in need of SWAP making supplies to get us through the year! We thank you for your contribution to Girl Scouts in Dane County!
