A few of the girls in Avery's Daisy Girl Scout Troop went the the Hands Across the Border event.
The event celebrates the peaceful border we share with Canada. Girl and Boy Scout troops from both the U.S. and Canada met at Peace Arch Park in Blaine to celebrate. The day started with the girls trading "SWAPS". Crafty little homemade trinkets. Avery thought this was cool!!! She told me, "I wasn't so sure at first, but once I started trading it was AWESOME!"
Then it ended with a parade through the Peace Arch. U.S. Scouts on one side, Canadians on the other....marching through the Arch together. There were about 12,000 people there in all.
WOW!!! Good times! :)
