April 9, 2013

Since January we have been working on a new journey called:  "5 Flowers, 4 Stories, 3 Cheers for Animals!"  For more information on this journey, please see the journey page on our blog:  http://stbgirlscouts.blogspot.com/p/journeys.html

We are talking about taking care or animals and taking care of ourselves.  Here are a few things that the girls seems to really enjoy doing during this journey:
  • We worked on a birdbath - This was a messy paper mache project.  The girls enjoyed getting their hands dirty.
  • We are building a mural and very meeting the girls have a chance to use their artistic ability to add one of their animal creations to it.
  • The animal game - This is the head band game with a twist. The troop has to act like an animal and one person has to guess which animal it is.
  • Acting out - We have giving them some scenarios and each girl had a chance to act it out.  This one was a big hit with all of the girls.  We will definitely have to do this one again.

In addition, we are making a quilt for Mrs Gough.  This is a thank you gift for letting us use her room for our meetings.  All of the girls have been working on this quilt together.  See picture below.

 

There are 4 meetings left for this year.  Here are a few things we will be planning:
  • A trip to Petco as part of our journey. (Waiting to here confirmation, but hoping this will be next meeting)
  • Cookie money event - An event chosen by the girls funded by the troops cookie money.
  • Bridging ceremony - This year is our girls last year as daisies.  Next year they will be brownies. So they will be bridging to Brownies at the end of this year.
  • Town encampment - Unfortunately we are on the waiting list for town encampment.  I am waiting for confirmation on whether we will be able to participate or not.  If we are not able to participate and you have sent in the $10 payment, your check will be returned to you.
Have a great April vacation!
