You use yarn in the colors of the 5 worlds plus green for the world of
Girl Scouting. Tie thirteen knots evenly spaced down the necklace - this
stands for the three parts of the promise and the twn parts of the law.
I usually ask the girls to recite these as they tie the knots. They
"love" that. Anyway, the two ends are tied together to represent
friendship and the chain of Girl Scouting. If you have the yarn long
enough and the girls are old enough, they can tie a friendship knot to
unite the friendship necklace. Oh, by the way. The necklace is made to
give away and get one made by someone else in return. Hopefully, it is a
friend you just made.

My 7 yr olds made these: GIRL SCOUT NECKLACE You Need: Yarn..red,
orange, yellow, blue, purple Beads.. 3 Green (1" wood) for each necklace
For each necklace cut a 40 " piece of each color yarn Tape 5 ends
together to make threading beads easier The 5 strands of yarn represent
the 5 Worlds of Interest: Red ... Well-Being, Blue ...People, Purple
...Arts,Yellow ...Out of Doors, Orange ...Today and Tomorrow. The 3
green beads represent the 3 parts of the Girl Scout Promise. * Recite
the Girl Scout Promise as you string the beads on to the yarn.* Push all
the beads to the center of the yarn. * On each side of the beads, tie 5
overhand knots. (10 all together) * These represent the 10 parts of the
Girl Scout Law. * Read it out loud as you tie the knots.*
Put necklace around your neck and tie the ends in a double knot.* Keep
necklace long enough to put on and take off easily.* Trim the ends. *
Explain your necklace to somebody else. We're using it as part of Girl
Scout Ways Try-it. They are inexpensive, easy & very colorful!
