Your Exhibit
This year's theme is Weaving the Fabric of Our Traditions. Please briefly tell us about anything you plan to feature at your Festival booth that incorporates the theme (literal or figurative interpretations are welcome - fabric in religious garments or the fabric of our communities, threads used in textile arts or threads of truth or traditions that tie us together, spinning tales or yarn, etc.)
Each exhibit sponsorship includes one table and two chairs. Exhibitors are encouraged to bring their own sunshade and any materials needed to staff their booth. Each booth space will accommodate a 10x10 pop up sunshade. Stakes can be used in our location this year. If you have any questions or special requests regarding your space, please share here.
Action Zone and Youth Engagement
Highlighting Action
At this year's festival, we will have an area set aside to highlight organizations and programs that facilitate compassionate action, community support, youth engagement, etc. The requirement to be located in this area will be that the booth have something for participants to do to put the traditions and tenets of their faith into action to strengthen the fabric of our community.
Would you like to be *located* in the action zone?
Yes
No
What experience or action will you feature?
A Youth Engagement space will be reserved in the action zone, where exhibitors, regardless of their location, can have volunteers lead short programs for young people and families. This is an opportunity for faith communities and nonprofits to highlight the work of their youth engagement teams. Would your organization like to:
Provide a self-directed activity (supplies and instructions)
Lead a 15-20 minute craft, storytelling session, game, etc.
Lead a 30-40 minute craft, storytelling session, game, etc.
n/a - we're not interested in participating in the youth engagement space
Please describe your activity in 1-2 sentences. We'll use this to explain it in the event program.
If someone other than the primary booth contact will be responsible for this activity, please also include their name and email above.
Scout Stops
Girl Scouts of the USA and Scouts BSA recognize dozens of religious emblems offered by faith communities, including award pins and medals offered by most Christian denominations, Baha'i, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Jain, Jewish, and Meher Baba faith traditions. Girl Scouts can also earn a My Promise, My Faith award pin at every level that is separate from national religious emblems. The pin program focuses on connecting a single principle/attribute in the Girl Scout Law to the worldview she practices by connecting with a woman in her faith community to discuss. This pin program has an optional interfaith element, whereby the scout also interviews someone from another faith to learn how the principle connects to that community's teachings. Interviews focus on learning how scout principles like honesty, respect, courage, responsibility, and stewardship connect to the guiding principles of religious communities.
We will label booths offering religious scout awards or programs as a "Scout Stop" at the Festival. If you would like to participate in this opportunity, please check any that apply to your community or organization:
Our tradition offers religious insignia for scouts.
Our faith community has insignia curriculum booklets available
Our faith community offers a program for scouts to earn religious insignia in a group setting.
Our faith community provides volunteer mentors for scouts pursuing religious awards.
Our faith community has a special ceremony for scouts receiving religious insignia.
Our faith community will connect Girl Scouts to women in our community to facilitate earning the My Promise, My Faith pin.
Our faith community would love to collaborate with scouts who are designing and implementing service or community action projects (such as the Girl Scout Gold Award, Eagle Scout)
Two Waste Stream Event
An overwhelming majority of traditions prioritize care for the natural world. At the Festival this year, we aim to have only two waste streams: compostable/biodegradable waste and recyclables. To that end, we ask that any booth sponsors who give away "swag" at their booths commit to minimal packaging and biodegradable or recyclable products. Where possible, we also recommend using digital signup sheets and handouts to reduce paper waste.
Do you agree to minimize waste and use biodegradable or recyclable products at the event?
Yes
No
