Girl Scout Troop 2825

During last Friday's meeting (2/19/10) the Daisy's earned two petals:
Light Blue - for honest and fair
Yellow - for friendly and helpful
For honest and fair, the girls broke up into groups and divided up beads honestly and fairly amongst themselves and each made a bracelet. For friendly and helpful they glued little blue hands on green paper that said "A Helping Hand Was Here" which they were suppose to leave whenever they helped out or did chores. Hopefully you have seen some of those little hands lying around. :-)
We ran out of time at the last meeting to hand out the petals, so we will be doing that at the March 5th meeting. If your Daisy has not earned their "center" yet, I will hold onto the petals until they have. We are very close to all of them having it. In order for them to have earned their center, they had to memorize and recite the Girl Scout Promise.

We will be going on a field trip to the Fire Station on our next meeting, March 5th. Your Daisy was given a permission slip for you to sign and return in order for them to go. If you didn't get one please let me know and I will get one out to you.
If ever you have any questions don't hesitate to call me.

Thanks

Permission slips are required for your scout to attend our field trip to the Wellington Fire Station.  We ran short on permission slips, so if you did not get one, I will get it to you this week.  **For our girls that arrive late, please come right to the fire station to join our troop. You might also want to have a snack before you come.  Don't forget your dollar for your Fire Station patch.

Cookie Money is due on Friday, March 5.  Our Cookie Mom, Traci will stay behind to take your cookie money deposit if you still have some to turn in.  You do not need to wait until Friday to give it to her though.  Call her at 568-3829 to make arrangments to turn your funds in early

Mark your calendar for our Parent meeting Wednesday, March 10 at 6:30. We will be answering questions and talking about camp/overnights.

Have you checked out the Events & Activites link on the http://www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org/ website?  If not you should. There is always something going on that your scout can attend.  Sometimes there are fun activities to do or badge earning opportunities.  Check it out often so you don't miss out on something fun!

Does your Brownie or Junior want to earn more badges?  They can choose an activity out of their scouting book (Try-Its for Brownies or Badge Book for Juniors) to work on at home.  When she has completed the requirements for a badge she can share the activity with our troop. For badges completed outside of our group, you are responsible for the cost of the badge.  However, we can still award the badge at a meeting. If you have an questions please contact one of your leaders.

One of the badges that the girls have an option of earning with the cookie sales is a Walkabout badge.  It is taking cookies out in a wagon (or something similar) and knocking on doors.  Some of the girls had indicated that they might want to give this a try.

If you would like to sell some cookies door to door (in a group), join us at the park on McClelland Rd at 9:00am on Saturday, February 27th.  McClelland is on the East side of the freeway.  If you turn onto Co RD 62 (ACE Hardware) and then take the first right, that is McClelland, just follow until you see the park on the West side of the road.  From there we will break up into some groups and go door to door. Please bring a wagon to haul your cookies.  I will bring cookies to sell.  The amount of cookies sold will be equally divided among those that participate in the Walkabout.

If you are planning on attending, please let me know so I can bring enough cookies for everyone.  Parents are encouraged to participate with their scout.  RSVP by Thursday at 9am

***If there is a lot of snow on the ground, this event will be cancelled.
