The upcoming Kansas State Fair will mark the fair’s 100th anniversary. In conjunction with the fair, Girl Scouts are celebrating their 100th anniversary in 2012, marking it the “Year of the Girl.” The fair is a great opportunity for Girl Scouts to not only share their projects and accomplishments from Girl Scouting, but also share in various fair activities through volunteering, demonstrations and other celebrations.  

The Girl Scout House, located next to the Lake Talbott Stage, will be the display area for Girl Scout projects and accomplishments. On each weekend of the fair, Girl Scouts from across Kansas will share various activities and demonstrations at the Girl Scout House. Another special activity girls can participate in is the Girl Scouts’ State Fair Scavenger Hunt. The scavenger hunt is a great opportunity to get a “Fair Fun Patch”, which is a new and fun bracelet-style patch. Girls can pick up a scavenger hunt form at the Girl Scouts Building that details their tasks, which include visiting other exciting and educational demonstrations and features around the fairgrounds.
