Hi everybody!

I'm a Girl Scout troop leader and I'd like to work on the Balloon Car Design badges with my mostly-Junior troop. (I have one Brownie and one Cadette; the Brownie has already earned the Race Car Design Challenge badge, so I am going to modify the Fling Flyer when we move on to the Paddleboat Design and Crane Design badges with the Juniors. If anybody leads Cadettes, I'd like to know whether they have any kind of mechanical engineering badges that I could add to give my lone 6th-grader something amazing to do during those meetings or outings.)

I have a lot of cardboard, a few plastic soda bottles, a car & base template, and will source some spraypaint & other art supplies so the kids can decorate their cars, but I need ... Gatorade (or similar wide-mouth bottle; they should measure roughly 1.25" to 2" in diameter) juice lids to use as wheels.

Would any of y'all be able to send me clean, dry Gatorade lids by January 15, 2020?

PM me for my address if you'll be able to help; my Scouts and I appreciate it!

Can you ask the school to spread the word for you? I bet you’ll get a bunch!

I need about 52 total so all 13 of my Scouts have a chance to make a car.

I can check with the PTO president for DD's elementary school.
