We are going to be taking our first field trip on Friday, March 5th.  It will take place during our regular meeting time and will be a walking field trip to the Wellington Fire Department.  Permission slips will be sent home with the scouts this Friday and will need to be returned by Friday, March 5th for the girls to be able to attend the field trip.

To the Daisy Parents:

Patches: As a daisy there are not as many patches to earn as the older girls. The 1st patch must be the “Blue” center of the daisy. The girls earn this by learning the Girl Scout Promise. Please help your daisy with this. We recite the promise at the beginning of each meeting. The other petals are earned in any order, and we will be working on these as a troop. Below is a list of the color of the petal what each petal represents. Keep in mind that the kindergarteners have the rest of this year and all of next year to earn these petals.

We understand that we need to help the 1st graders earn the petals much faster. If your daughter is a 1st grader right now she needs to earn all of her petals by the end of April of 2010 in order to go through the bridging ceremony in May. We are working on the requirements for the daisies to bridge to brownies and we will keep you updated.

We are open to any suggestions you may have to help us. Please keep in mind that our troop is new and we are all still learning the ropes. We will do our best to get all the information to you. However, it is best if we can email due to the cost of copies. If this won’t work for you please let us know so we can accommodate you.

We hope to be giving out more badges this week! I think there will be badges given out in all 3 groups. Don't forget that there are specific places on the tunic, vest or sash for badges to go. There will be Placement Flyers on the Parent Table, please pick one up so you can have it handy.
We are starting to think about Bridging. This is when a scout moves up a level in groups (Daisy to Brownie, Brownie to Junior). There are several requirements for the girls to do this. One of them is a field trip so we are checking into places around Wellington that we can take a field trip to that can accommodate our large group.
The girls also need to work on a Service Project (something for the community), so once they decide what they would like to do, we will let you know.
Daisy’s – should be working on learning the GS Promise

Browie’s – should be making a new friend at school, church or somewhere else you frequent

Junior’s – should be making their family fun jar and doing at least one activity with their family per week. Please have them bring their Jar/can/box with them to school on Friday if possible, if they haven’t shared it already

Before we can go on a field trip the Leaders need to go through some training and you will need to fill out a Permission Slip.  Stay tuned for more information about the field trip and service project.

Daisy's should be working on learning the Girl Scout Promise. Once they can recite the Promise to one of the Leaders they will earn their Blue Patch, which is the center of their flower. After they earn the Blue Center they can start earning other Petals.

Girl Scout Promise-
On my honor, I will try:

To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The GS Promise is something that we all recite at every meeting. We also recite the GS Law-

The Girl Scout Law -

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

I hope that this will make it easier to communicate to all of our families.  If you have any questions please let Katie or I know.

We had a very exciting meeting today!

• We had 3 Dasiy's earn the blue center of their flower by memorizing the Girl Scout Promise.
• We also had 3 Brownie's earn their Friends Are Fun badge. They completed 4 friendship activities to earn their badge. Some of our other Brownie's have been absent and should be earning their badges at the next meeting.

The Junior's are also working on a Friendship badge and should have it completed at the next meeting.
