Welcome to the home of the original painted rock challenges! The very first time I painted on rocks was about a year ago with my daughter’s Brownie troop. We were working on a project for World Thinking Day and all of the girls painted Girl Scout themed rocks and hid them around our town. Each rock had information on the back that would lead the finder to the Girl Scout website to learn about Thinking Day. It was also where my addiction to painting on rocks began!
This would be a fun project that Troop Leaders could incorporate into some badge lessons. Brownie leaders can look at the Painting and the Outdoor Art Creator badges. Some of the words on the list would be fun to introduce new girls to Girl Scouting traditions and history. You could also incorporate rock hiding (kindness rocks) into a community service project. Be creative and have fun! Let the girls help decide what to do with their rocks once they are painted.
Have a fun idea you want to share, leave a comment to inspire other troop leaders.

Hi. I love this idea but what kind of info did you put on there so people would know to go to the website.
We used a hashtag and hoped that anyone interested would do a search online for the hashtag.
