We are part of the GS Heart of Michigan council and fortunate enough to be able to take part in this function hosted by the GS\u00a0of Southeast Michigan.\u00a0 The GSSEM works with the Canadian Girl Guides in Ontario to put on this event.<\/p>\n<p>Marine City, MI is about a 2-hour drive from where we live so we decided to have a sleepover at our co-leaders house so we could get up early and hit the road.\u00a0 In preparation for the event we had the girls work on making S.W.A.P.s.\u00a0 I had read enough about the event to know this was a big S.W.A.P. opportunity. Our girls were less than enthusiastic at my suggestion of making about 100 S.W.A.P.s each, which was the recommendation by the GSSEM.\u00a0 We finally said ok you have to make 10.\u00a0 My daughter begged to stop at 9!\u00a0 Apparently we have not made S.W.A.P.-making a big enough priority.<\/p>\n<p>You can get some great ideas for S.W.A.P.s and kits from MakingFriends\u00ae .com: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-swaps-2\/\">Click here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a normal restless night (typical GS overnighter you know) we were all ready to go and cross the border early Saturday morning.\u00a0 When we got to Marine City and checked in we received some cool trading cards and info about the various activities planned for the day.\u00a0 The GSSEM and the Canadian Girl Guides did a fantastic job of setting up fun events including a butterfly house, S.W.A.P. making station, science exploration tent and an opportunity to earn a Free to Be Me patch.<\/p>\n<p>But what was THE biggest event you ask?\u00a0 Why S.W.A.P.s of course! Within 5 minutes the girls realized why I was pushing them to make so many.\u00a0 They were enthralled by the many, many girls that had hats, vests and shirts covered with S.W.A.P.s!\u00a0 They proceeded to trade their 9 or 10 S.W.A.P.s over and over.\u00a0 They would get one and trade it off, keeping ones that they thought were the coolest.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, maybe that was the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> biggest highlight of the day.\u00a0 The real highlight was taking a ferry to cross the St. Clair River over to Canada.\u00a0 The ferry ride took just a few minutes for the girls to become international travelers.\u00a0 We bought a box of Canadian Girl Guide cookies, their version of the Thin Mint.\u00a0 Yummy!\u00a0 We bought a few little souvenirs and patches to commemorate our visit.\u00a0 We stopped at an ice cream shop and had some flavors of ice cream we\u2019ve never had here in the States.\u00a0 A nice older woman that was talking to my daughter on the ferry ride gave her a Canadian coin and Ellie was ecstatic over that gift!\u00a0 We also chatted with a leader of a Canadian Girl Guide troop.\u00a0 As she was looking at my daughter\u2019s vest and asked what the 200 bar represented, she was amazed that someone could sell 200 boxes of cookies in one season.\u00a0 We told her that was a good amount, but many girls sell way more than that!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3177\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Untitled.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3177 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Untitled-300x194.png\" alt=\"Scouts are International Travelers.
