If you read my reviews, you know I just have two boys; however, I think it's important to teach boys and girls that anyone can be who they want. I wanted to do this box with my boys, so they will learn about fearless women and that women can do anything a man can do.

There were activities, games, and products you can do at home.
There several pages that explained how girls can learn to read maps, and do first aid.
Activity #1: Exploring Outdoors
This activity lets your child make a bird feeder to hang up outside. There is also a nature observation journal to record their adventures and a container to put treasures found outside.
There are step by step instructions on how to make the projects.
This project used the bird seed, kraft rol, sunbutter and ribbon. As a mom of a child with peanut allergies, I was glad to see the sunbutter.
The first step is to put the sunbutter around the tube.
Then your child rolls the tube in the bird seed and adds the ribbon.
The finished project.
The bird feeder is ready for birds! The tube is pretty thick, so it should hold up to weather.
The second part of the activity was a nature exploration journal, with a box and magnifying glass.
The box is big enough for small thing your child finds. The activity book makes sure children ask before collecting anything.
The nature exploration journal has pages about birds to find and other activities to do on a hike. My son can't wait to go exploring.
Activity #2 Explore Knot Tying with a Survival Bracelet
My oldest son has made one of these bracelets in cub scouts but my youngest has never done it. This one takes about 30 mins to complete, low messiness and med/high on grown up help.
I like that there is a guide paper to use to make the bracelet.
Bracelet making! My son need some help getting this one completed.
The finished bracelet.
My son loves his bracelet!
Each box comes with a button that your child can put on a bag, jacket or backpack.
Final Thought: I love the scouting theme of this box. I was a girl scout growing up and I think it's a great program for girls. The bird feeder and nature kit was the big hit of this box. Though this box is designed for girls, it's still a great box to teach boys about important women. If you want to subscribe, use the coupon WELCOME20 to save 20% off your 1st box.
