Good Morning girls!  Guess what time it is.....COOKIE TIME!  I hope you ladies have been busy selling your Girl Scout Cookies!  The cookie rally was a great success....and you were given a lot of awesome ideas to help out your selling this year, so get to it!  We have set some goals in our individual groups and as a whole. We want to work really hard to meet those goals as well.  If your group has not set any goals as of the last meeting...be thinking of what you can contribute to your group and what you think your group should set as your goal as a whole.

Internation Day:

International Day will be coming up on us before we know so let us get busy now doing what we need to!  Each class has picked a region that they will represent on Internation Day.  The Brownies are doing Australia.  2nd grade and 3rd grade Brownies will be doing theirs together.  So far a few of the girls have stated what they will researching to add to our booth.  They are: 

• Girl Scouts (Australia) - Isabella
• Arts - Riley
• Fashion - Madeline
• History - Gracie
• Music - Kendra and McKenzie
• Food - Emma D. and Ashley F.
• Animals - Tabby

We are to create 300 swaps for our booth.  The girls can do whatever they want as long as it is something to do with Australia.  We discussed a few things like animals, a walk about (create a blanket roll), camping items, boomarang....

Blogspot isn't allowing photos to be added from my computer so .... check out Pinterest.com and search "International Girl Scout Swaps" and you will find a ton of different kinds to do.  They can be made out of pins, clothespins, baggies, candies....you pick! The possibilities are endless!!!!  We are eager to see the girls' creativity in work!

2nd Grade Brownies have been working hard to complete badges.  The following girls should have gotten these badges or will be receiving them when they come in:

• Celebrating Community - Allison, Emma, Ashley, Isabella, Kendrea, Madeline, Riley, Alex and Gracie
• My Promise, My Faith - Riley
• Olympic Gold - Isabella, McKenzie, Kendra, Madeline and Riley
• Fair Play - Sofia, Allison, Emma, Ashley, Isabella, McKenzie, Kendra, Madeline, Riley, Alex, Gracie and Tabby

The My Promise, My Faith Badge: If your girl scout has not earned the My Promise, My Faith Badge they can do so by doing the following: (taken from www.girlscouts.org) and then your parents letting your troop leader know that you have completed it by turning in any items you did.

Steps to earn the pin:

1. Choose one line from the Girl Scout Law.

 

Find a story, song, or poem from your faith ith the same ideas. Talk with your family or friends about what that line of the Law nd the story, song, or poem have in common.

2. Find a woman in your own or another faith community.

Ask her how she tries to use hat line of the Law in her life.

3. Gather three inspirational quotes

by women that fit with that line of the Girl Scout

Law. Put them where you can see them every day!

4. Make something to remind you of what you’ve learned.

It might be a drawing, painting, or poster. You could also make up a story or a skit.

5. Keep the connection strong.

Find out if your faith community offers a recognition program for Girl Scouts. Talk with your friends, family, or a group in your faith community about what you’ve learned about your faith and Girl Scouting. Ask them to help you live the

Law and your faith. Maybe you can show them what you just made or perform your skit!

Well, until next time......................KEEP SELLING THOSE COOKIES!!!!!!!
