A few weeks ago, I wrote a paper fortune teller called “Girl Scout Cookies and You” — a snarky take on why I can’t stop eating them. But a lot of people found it while searching for an activity to do with their Girl Scout troops. And I really like that idea.
I have some fond memories of Girl Scout camp myself (horses!, archery!), and I love the idea of troops making their own fortune tellers. But to help get you started, I created a Girl Scout friendly cootie catcher you can print out.
(Of course, this cootie catcher isn’t officially connected to the Girl Scouts, but we still think it’s plenty of fun.)
Download this PDF, print, fold and watch some Girl Scouts find their fortunes.
No. 41: A Cootie Catcher for Girl Scout Troops
Love it!
My 7 year old triplets are in brownies, and I am definitely printing these to take to the recruiting day tomorrow. I think that the kids will see how much fun girl scouts can be with these. Thanks so much
Thank you so much Mary! I bet your daughters are adorable. Hope all the brownies–and recruits!–have fun with the cootie catchers.

Hi! I work for a GS council and I’m always trying to find something cute to give to my volunteers to do with their troops. This would be great but I can’t get it to print for some reason? Any way you could send this and the “Girl Scout cookies and you” pdfs to me via email if I give it to you?
I’ll send them right now! Hope the troops enjoy them.
Best,
Michelle
