5 Things to Do with the Old Scout Uniform

Your daughter has bridged and you're wondering what you're going to do with her uniform. Here are some ideas:

1. Give it away. My daughter received a tunic and a sash from Girl Scouts who never got around to attaching badges. Many councils and service units have programs so you can donate to other girls. This doesn't work if you're patch obsessed like me.

2. Turn it into a pillow like this badge crazy family. Here are some more cute ones with directions (basically, add fabric, stitch, and stuff).

3. Frame it. You can rip the shoulder seams to display it all of it or place it between two pieces of glass.

4. Put it in a memory box with other precious bits.

5. Save it for a future quilt when she bridges to adult.
