2Y - Meeting #1 - Note to Parents


Welcome back to our 2nd year of Daisy Girl Scouts.  We had our first meeting this Tuesday, September 11th.  The girls were soooo excited!  This year we have 14 girls in our troop. 
We had 2 special guests this week:
·         Kendra Owen - Northborough Service Team Manager
·         and her daughter Bridget Owen – Ambassador Girl Scouts

Bridget has been a Girl Scouts since kindergarten (11 years!), and has been the top cookie seller in the area.  She showed our girls her vest, talked about the pins/patches/awards she has earned, and all of the exiting places she has visited as a Girl Scouts.  Thank you Bridget and Mrs Owen for visiting our troop!
 
We will be working on the Flower Garden Journey this year.  The girls worked in teams to plant a mini-garden – Parsley, Basil, Chives and Four O’clock flowers.  They will be responsible for watering the mini-garden and tracking the progress during every meeting till November.  We will be posting pictures.
As part of this journey the girls will be challenged to participate in a “Take Action” project.  This project can be anything from planting or cleaning up an area in the community.  Example: a garden at STB, or at Tower Hill Botanic Garden.  We will need your help to come up with ideas and execute this project.  Please let me know if you are interested in participating.
We are also looking for parent volunteers to help us run the “Nut Sale”, which will run from 9/28 to 10/28.  The responsibilities are to enter the orders online, and help distributing the products within our troop when it comes in (around 11/16/12).  The training on the online ordering system will happen next week.  This is a great opportunity for the girls to raise their own money for events.  We need your help to make this program work!  Please let me know if you can volunteer.

·         Next meeting September 25th, 2012
