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!

Meeting Roundup

We spent our first meeting getting to know each other, learning the Girl Scout Motto, Handshake, practicing the Girl Scout Promise, the Quiet Sign, and what it means to be a Girl Scout.  We also took time discussing our the options for our Journey as a whole group.  

As a whole, the Girls elected:

Leadership Journey Series

This Journey series gives girls the opportunity to tell their stories through a range of creative approaches. It’s designed to strengthen a girl’s sense of herself and boost her capacity to seek and meet challenges in the world. 

Daisies learn just how much they can care for animals and for themselves—and just how good that makes them feel.

5 Flowers, 4 Stories, 3 Cheers for Animals! will also introduce Daisies to the stories of the flower friends: Daisy, Sunny, Tula, Gloria, Gerri, Rosie, Vi, Clover, Mari, Lupe and Zinni. Each flower friend corresponds to a value in the Girl Scout Law.

Stories are all around us – in movies, in books, in television shows, advertisements, on the news and even on cereal boxes. Stories inspire. Stories motivate. Stories spark imagination and help girls learn about themselves and the world.

A World of Girls helps engage Brownies in this wider world or stories in a way that gets them looking for clues to help make the world a better place.

With some help from Brownie Elf along the way, girls see how they can create positive change in the world—change that affects girls.

Juniors learn just how many roles are open to them in the world and the possibilities those roles open for them.

Whether they want to fly a plane, lead a rock band or win a gold medal, aMUSE helps girls take center stage and try out more roles than they ever thought possible, with a little help from Dez and the Muses.

As they find out there is more to their story, girls may feel stronger, walk taller and gain confidence!

Juniors will also have the opportunity to work on their Bronze Award this year!!

8. So much to be earned! Cumulative patches and recognitions are earned, in addition to troop proceeds, other bonus recognitions, and area bonuses. Some patches can be earned just by inviting friends and family to the sale.
