Join us for a day of SWAP making! SWAPS stands for "Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere." They are small tokens of friendship that Girl Scouts exchange with one another, and each SWAP uniquely reflects a fellow Girl Scout, their troop, or a memory of a special event.

SWAPS Son pequeñas muestras de amistad que las Girl Scouts intercambian entre sí mismas, y cada SWAP refleja de manera única a una compañera Girl Scout, su tropa o un recuerdo de un evento especial. Son una excelente manera de compartir historias y conocer a las Girl Scouts de todo el país y el mundo. Su tropa, o un recuerdo de un evento especial.

K-5, San Jose, 10 am - 12 pm
