“You had the camping spirit still without being in the wilderness,” Lord said.

Girl Scout Troop 2746, led by Elizabeth Durkin, used its funds to keep the Scouts entertained during the stay-at-home order. Durkin said each of her first-grade Daisies got a subscription to Highlights magazine. The troop also ordered rock kits for each girl to paint rocks with inspirational messages and scatter around town. Most recently, the girls did a virtual cooking class with Meagan Cox of Mae’s Meals.

Durkin said each girl was sent a kit, prepared by Cox, with a personalized apron and the ingredients needed for the recipe. Cox then led the girls through the recipe for taco sticks. Durkin said she enjoyed seeing the girls ask Cox questions about her profession and cooking in general.

In the coming weeks, Durkin hopes to get the girls on an app or website allowing them to play games with one another.

“We’ve been trying to keep some activities for the girls going,” Durkin said.

Some troops have been less active, not wanting to overload Scouts with school work and Scout activities. Kari Mack, co-leader of fourth-grade Troop 1408, said her troop hasn’t met or planned any activities since the start of social distancing and stay-at-home orders. Mack said she and troop leader Michele Hunt, who are both teachers, have been navigating online learning and haven’t wanted to overload their troop or themselves with another Zoom call.

“Both of us have been kind of crazy with just trying to navigate online learning and do all of that,” Mack said. “The kids have lots of Zoom meetings and we don’t want to overwhelm them.”

The two met earlier this week and decided to start leading virtual meetings in May as school winds down. Mack said they are planning a virtual movie night for the girls. Along with activities, she said the Scouts can still earn badges online from their homes.
