Is your troop interested in sewing? Here is a free Girl Scout Pocket Pouch sewing pattern and tutorial that is both practical and useful.
I have always been incredulous that the GSUSA dropped their sewing badges. The retired Girl Scout badges are fun to earn and teach a very useful skill. There are still two free Girl Scout sewing patch programs available.
For troops who want to learn this practical skill, there is a free Girl Scout Pocket Pouch Sewing pattern and tutorial available.
You can find the pattern here.
You can find the tutorial here (hand sew or sewing machine)
