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!

Fall Sale is On Going! 

The Girl Scouts of Southeast Michigan's Fall Nut & Magazine Sale is underway through November 24. Girls will deliver in early November, just in time for holiday entertaining and gifts. 

Your purchase does much more than give you a tasty treat - it helps girls learn 5 Key Skills: goal setting, decision making, money management, business ethics, and people skills. 

This year’s lineup: Dark Chocolate Mint Penguins, Double Chocolate Truffles, Hot Cajun Crunch, Dulce de Leche Caramel Owls, Wasabi Almonds, Chocolate Toffee Almonds, Butter Toasted Peanuts, Whole Cashews with Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate Pretzels, Chocolate Covered Raisins, Cranberry Nut Mix, and Gummi Berries. 

Don't forget, in addition to snacks, you can buy and gift print and digital magazine subscriptions, and you can also donate treats or magazines to military stationed overseas or to local food banks through our Care to Give program.

*If you don't know a Girl Scout, we will gladly set you up with one of our Troop Members to help you with your purchase:  Contact Us for More Information!*
