Weekly Roundup

Last Saturday members of the Troop participated in the District Cookie Rally and earned a Cookie Rally Fun Patch and their Financial Badges.

At yesterday's Troop Meeting we had members from Troop 21417, who are a group of Juniors and Cadettes earning their Leadership in Action Awards.  Upon receiving this Award they will be welcomed back again to assist with the Brownies in our Troop in an effort to earn their Program Aide Awards.  It was a pleasure having them participate in our Meeting and interact with our Troop.

Please have your daughters learn the Promise and Law as it will be part of the Investiture Ceremony at our next Troop Meeting.

Again, the Troop selected "It's Your Story - Tell It!" as their Journey, please be sure to purchase the book so that we can start our Journey!

We are having great success with online sales for the Fall Product Sale, but will also have a Booth Sale sometime in November to earn additional funds.

As always have a safe and happy weekend!

Cadette Program Aide Award

The Program Aide experience is the largest teen leadership program for girls in Girl Scouts. Cadettes receive their Program Aide award by earning one Leadership in Action award, completing council-designed leadership course training, and working directly with younger girls. Program Aides are role models for younger girls and are inspired to earn their admiration. Through leadership of young Girl Scouts, teens also develop their peer-leadership and teamwork skills.
