Mark Your Calendar! Brownie Day: Science Fun

Mark Your Calendar! Disney On Ice

Last year we went to the circus and I thought that it would be fun to go to Disney on Ice this time! Below are the available dates. I can order the tickets for everyone and you can pay the troop via check. We do not all have to go to the same show, although that would be FUN! This is a FAMILY event so bring the whole crew!

Here is a link to the pricing, dates, and information.

Earning our First Aid Badge

 First Aid 101

 

Thank you to Nurse Katie for coming to our first Brownie Meeting and educating the troop about first aid.  The girls made mini first aid kits prior to Nurse Katie's arrival and she demonstrated the proper use of the contents.  Our troop is ready to perform basic first aid!

Our First Camping Trip

We had a BLAST at our first camp out! We cooked our dinner and dessert, battled lots of spiders, took a fun hike, and only caught one phone on fire!  What I did not do was take any pictures, but I did get one of the troop by the Brownie Tree!

Animal Shelter Trip

This past Saturday Troop 469 took a tour of the Southside Animal Shelter. The girls saw firsthand how animals were cared for at the shelter and had the opportunity to meet lots of cats and dogs along the way!

We were happy to donate money that we had saved from last year's lemonade stand and a portion of this year's cookie sale to the shelter! We also dropped off the cat scratch pads that we made from recycled cookie cases.

 

 

 

Pizza Party Pictures & April Meeting

Our next meeting is this Tuesday at 6 pm!  

Sophie is bringing the ingredients for our next cooking lesson.  I will give you a hint... we will be talking about animals from Mexico! 

Don't Forget!

I gave the Daisies a little bit of homework. You are supposed to find out the name of the person who started Girl Scouting. Be ready to share what you know Tuesday.  Good Luck!

Saturday, March 8th is our Chicago Pizza Party! Please meet us at 3pm.  The girls will earn their cooking badge by making their own pizza!  I am ordering pizza for the adults that wish to stay as a thank you for your cookie help! I believe we will be finished by 5 pm.

Cookie Booths

 Our girls did a fantastic job at our two booths last month! I noticed that they all have improved on people skills, giving change, and flashing winning smiles!  We had a 86% troop participation and our current cookie totals are 1,050, which is an average of 150 per girl! Every troop member will qualify for the t-shirt award! Thank you for all your hard work! 

Please bring any cookie money to the March 4th meeting!

January Meeting Re-Cap & Cookie Info

 

As always we had a blast at our troop meeting.  We worked on our Journey and the girls were awarded the Birdbath Award!  The girls put together a healthy snack that resembled a ladybug.  Here are their creations:

We are also working on our Count It Up leaf during this cookie selling season. The girls learned about the different kinds of cookies and about setting goals.  

Speaking of cookies...

Our initial order has been placed and we have sold 908 cookies so far!!! Way to go Daisies!!!  Our initial top seller is Elena at 196 boxes! My sweet husband is picking up our cookies January 30 and you will be able to start picking them up this weekend or at our troop meeting Tuesday, February 4th at 6 pm!

I have two indoor booths planned and I need to know who wants to help! Our goal is to sell 62 boxes which will be divide evenly among the girls who help at the booth.   I can have 2-3 girls per slot.  Please message me with your choice and I will update the list.

Daddy Daughter Dance February 1st

If your daughter and daddy wish to attend this event please let me know so I can get you registered! This happens to fall on the South Creek Pacer Night. 

December Meeting Re-Cap

We had at great time at our last 2013 meeting.  We learned more about robins and made toilet paper robins for our nests.  Speaking of nests, Jadyn brought a REAL nest for us to check out. Thank you Jadyn!

 The Daisies earned their Purple petal, Respect others and myself.  We played a fun charade game showing ways that we respect ourselves and had fun showing the opposite.  The girls decorated hand mirrors to remind themselves that they are special! *If you were unable to attend this meeting you can earn the petal by making a poster showing ways that you respect yourself (show ways that you care of yourself) and present it at the next meeting!

I have updated our calendar with future meeting dates and events.  Our next meeting is Tuesday, January 7th at 6 pm.  We will be talking about Cookie Sales and working on our Cookie Business Leaves.
