A condition of participating in today's activities was that you give me a signed copy of the Online Safety Pledge. If for some reason you failed to give me your pledge, stop now and talk to me.
Now, before we start our badge work, let's play around a little. How many of you have seen Troop 1064's web pages? How many of you know who the Troop Webmaster is? Have you seen her web pages? Did you know that your own council, the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital, has great pages for girls? Did you know that the GSUSA has even more pages for you to explore? Are you interested in seeing some of these? Yes? Well, just click on one of the names below to visit the web page of that group or person. Have fun and come back here when you are finished jumping around.
