The International Fair is a tradition within the Girl Scout program. The friendship and diversity themes remind us that we are an international family of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides, and this event gives us the opportunity to learn about the customs, crafts, activities, and games of our sister Girl Scouts around the world.
Sign Up Procedure and Event Information
1. Please download and fill out the registration form, choosing three countries your troop may be interested in representing. You will be notified promptly of assignments based on the order of receipt of registrations.
2. Your presentation should include visuals (e.g., poster with country information) and an activity (food tasting, game, craft, dance, etc.). All exhibits should reflect the culture of the chosen country and, if possible reflect girl guides within that country. Please try to limit the amount of tape or sticky tack that is used. Tri-fold boards, easels, etc., are best. Each troop will be responsible for cleaning up their area at the end of the fair.
3. Wearing of Girl Scout uniform, vest, t-shirt, etc., is strongly encouraged unless the girls are dressing in costumes representative of their country.
4. The program will include cultural presentations (all troops are welcome to present dance, song, skit, etc., from their chosen country) and visitation of booths representing cultural diversity. Please advise if your troop would like to make a presentation.
5. The United States may not be chosen as a country.
