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.

December Meeting

Wow! The weeks are flying by! I can not believe that December is here! Our monthly meeting is just days away on Thursday the 5th.  We will meet at 6 pm and commence at 8 pm.  

We are chugging along through our journey and we will be learning about robins!  The girls will be making "dirt pudding" complete with worms!  Fun!  Thank you Kayden and Stephanie for volunteering for the December snack!

We will also contribute to the Franklin Township Toy Drive.  I am going to pick up some art and crafts for our contribution.  Here is some information about the event if you would like get more involved!  Thank you Brandi for including us!

 

I have the circus tickets and patches for those who ordered! Please remember to bring your ticket money Thursday.  We will be sitting together (yea!!!).

I should have our meeting dates for the 2014 year added soon. 

November Meeting Reminder

Our November meeting is Tuesday, November 12th from 6-8 pm.  I have a lot of fun activities planned and I am excited to meet with my Daisies!  Some information that I would like to share:

*I need each girl to bring in an old solid colored t-shirt. We are making bags out of t-shirts to carry our scouting stuff to and from meetings.I did a test bag out of a girls size 6x and it was perfect.  I would not go smaller than a girl's 6x and no bigger than a woman's small. 

*We have the opportunity to purchase discount tickets to the Ringling Bros. Circus during the Girl Scout times. This will be a Troop Family event!  I know that the whole family will enjoy this experince.   I will not be transporting girls as I do not have the space in my vehicle. We will meet at our seats,  which should be together. You can arrive 1 hour before start time. Do we want to go Saturday, Dec 7 at 11 am or Sunday, December 8 at 1 pm.  There are also two seating options. Lower and club seats for $15 or balcony for $10. I want to submit our ticket order by November 20th or sooner to guarantee our seats as they are first come first serve.

*Our troop made $36.70 from the Fall Product Sale.  

Thank you Sophie and Madeline for selling!

Birthday Bash at Waterman's

The "perfect" pumpkins!

Troop 469 participated for the first time in the Franklin Township GS Service Unit's annual Birthday Bash at Waterman's.  Many troops gathered to participate in food and fun, and most importantly,  drop off our prepared birthday bags for children in need of a little something for their birthday!

Hayride!

Waiting for PIZZA!

Painting our pumpkins!

October Meeting Re-Cap

We had a blast at our October meeting! The girls put together the Birthday Bags for the Birthday Bash! This service project focused on being considerate and caring for others. The girls earned the Spring Green petal for this project!

We also started the "It's Your Story-Tell It" Journey.  The girls should come to the November meeting with their background patch attached to their tunic.  Please follow the Uniform link above if you have placement questions.

Here are pictures of the girls collaboratively working on our animal mural.  We will be adding animals that we have learned about throughout this journey.

Jayden earned her promise center! Way to go Jayden!

Some Information

Last week was our first Daisy meeting of the new scouting year and we had a blast!!!  We are happy to welcome two new members, Jadyn and Alyssa!!!  The girls earned the Violet petal, "Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout".  Our new Daisies are working on learning the Girl Scout Promise to earn the Promise center.  Our next meeting will be especially special as our Daisies will participate in the Investiture and Re dedication Ceremony.  

There are tabs above with important information such as upcoming meeting dates, snack schedule, and patch placement information.  Please refer to this blog for troop information.  

I would like to participate in the Franklin Township Service Unit Birthday Bash on October 27 at Waterman's.  I need a final head count by October 8th.  This event costs $10 and includes pizza and a juice box along with admission, a hayride, and pumpkin.  We will be assembling Birthday Bags at our October meeting which will include the following to bring to the event:

 A “Birthday in a Bag” care package consists of all the goodies for a home celebration: cake mix, frosting, candles, a small gift, tissue paper for the gift bag, a card appropriate for the parent(s) to give the child, and optional party decorations. These items are placed in a birthday-themed gift bag tagged with a note stating the sex and age of the recipient along with a short description of the toy included. 

I  will purchase the items for the bags if you can pay for admission for your daughter.  Adults are welcome to attend for $9.  Please let me know if you have any questions!
