This Bone Builders Leader Guide web site is for the troop leader. It contains copies of the scout worksheets and an explanation of each item on the worksheets for the younger scouts.

Supporting materials to complete the required activities are provided.

Items not contained in the Girl Scout workbooks can be printed from the web site and photocopied for distribution to the scouts.

There are many Leader Resources at the end of this web-based guide. Three important resources which you may wish to review before you look at the Girl Scout activities are mentioned below.

Girl Scout Publications

The Girl Scout Publications resource directs the leader to other Girl Scout materials that cover some of the subjects contained in Bone Builders.

Bone Busters is a list of things that are not good for bones. Bone Builders is a list of things that are good for bones.

At every level of Girl Scouts, these lists must be reviewed with the scouts. They introduce many concepts and allow the leader to communicate these concepts to the scouts.
