About SWAPS
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 Tips:
• Be creative and take time to make hand-crafted SWAPS.
• Try not to spend a lot of money. Consider making something from donated or recycled material.
• Plan ahead so there’s time to make them.
• Make SWAPS that can be worn, used, or displayed.
• Make them small and portable.
