- Cultural Kitchen -

Cultural Kitchens are an opportunity for a troop to explore a country through its cuisine. Troops will have two or three initial meetings with their troop leaders to pick and research a country, as well as explore ideas of cultural awareness through a series of games and worksheets. The meetings will culminate in a final meeting at a Washington State hostel (Port Townsend or Seattle), where girls will work together to cook a community meal from their focus country. Girls will be able to invite hostel guests to join in their meal, and will share what they have learned about their focus country during a short presentation to their guests.

The program cost of $17/girl includes all teaching materials, training costs for troop leaders, all meetings including the final meeting, and groceries for the final meeting. Overnights are available at the hostels at an additional cost. Girls who complete the program earn the Discover the World patch. Upcoming dates include:
  • March 20th 5pm
  • April 17th 5pm
