New Scouting Year Information

Our new year of scouting is about to begin and I encourage all of our Daisies to invite a fellow first grader to our troop!  This year we will be completing our Daisy Petals and two Journeys.  There will be one meeting a month and one event per month so be prepared for FUN!  This year we will also go on our first camp-out (squeal).  In addition to meetings and events there is the Fall Product Sale and the annual Girl Scout Cookie sale.  Our first meeting will be in August! I can not wait to see you all!

Our Zoo Trip

The girls wanted to spend some of the cookie money on a field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. Despite the crowd and the heat the girls had a blast! They were great examples of what a Girl Scout is and I was proud to be their troop leader.  

Here are some pictures from our day!

Lemonade Day Indianapolis

We had a great time at our first lemonade stand today!  The girls and a few helpers {Khloe, Wyatt and Luke}  raised $123.65 for the Southside Animal shelter!  Thank you Walgreens at Southport and Shelbyville Rd for hosting us and thank you to all the generous patrons! 

May 18th is Lemonade Day Indianapolis!

I am so excited for our troop to participate in Lemonade Day Indianapolis May 18th!  We discussed at our last meeting that we would donate the profits to the Southside Animal Shelter.   At a later date we plan to visit the shelter to deliver the funds and scratch pads.  Walgreens at Southport and Shelbyville is happy to host our stand!  May 18th is our normal meeting date.  I need a parent volunteer that can drive and assist at the stand.

This is the fun patch that we will earn for this activity:

Daisy Days

Daisy Days

Back in March the troop participated in Daisy Days with fellow Daisies at Thompson Crossing Elementary.  The girls did various activities from experiments to origami as they learned to be "friendly and helpful" and "how to make the world a better place" earning their yellow and rose petals!  The girls also completed the Between Earth and Sky Journey patch.

Here are some snapshots of our day!

Service Project

What to do with all of those cookie cases?!  This meeting the Daisies were using their resources wisely by reusing the cases to make cat scratch pads for a local animal shelter.  I was so proud of these girls who worked as a team to make the pads.  

Way to go Daisies!!!

Our First Cookie Booth

This past Saturday we set up our first cookie booth!!!  Three of our girls were able to help and they did a fantastic job!  We sold a little over 50 boxes which I think was great for our first time.  Most importantly the girls worked on people skills and learned to deal with people more confidently.   We would also like to give a big shout out to Lowe's for hosting a hot spot for Girl Scouts! 

Here is our booth!
