Activity: Peace Ribbon

In this activity, you will need a ribbon and a thin fabric marker or sharpie. On the ribbon with the marker, write a peaceful message and sign your name. Then get all of your friends to sign. You can hang it up on a bulletin board or if it is short enough, wear it as a bracelet. Here are our peace ribbons:
This one we all signed. This was done in sharpie.

With a fabric marker, I wrote the Girl Scout Promise.
