The first activity was to assemble the scrapbooks (see the link at the bottom for complete instructions). Each girl had 3 paper bags and we trimmed the bases off before stapling them into booklets. The open ends of the bags form pockets where the girls can put more pictures. We had prepared a 4-page file for each girl - 1 page of GGC clip art, 1 page with the new GGC logo, her Patrol Emblem and images of badges she had earned this year, and 2 pages of photographs. The contents of our cupboard also came out for decorating purposes - stickers, construction paper, markers, ribbon, etc.

We had also printed out an "All About Me" sheet for each girl to fill out about her favourites right now as it will be interesting to see how things change when they reopen their time capsules! The time capsules themselves were simply large coffee cans - 1 per girl. Some girls had also brought items to put in their time capsules as we had talked about making them at a previous meeting.
