GS-TOP Leading With Purpose

Christmas Caroling

We met early at the CGSH and painted each other's noses red (to be just like Rudolph), this also starts us on another Try-It to earn after the holidays-Art to Wear!  We are really excited to do this one!  We sang at three local nursing and assisted living homes and met up with other area troops to have warm apple cider and cookies with the residents.

Christmas Time Already?

We are going Christmas Caroling next Tuesday so today we made props to help pass on the cheer of the season.  We made Reindeer antlers, Jingle Bell wreaths, and fuzzy stick snowflakes.  The girls had a blast making these crafts.

Clean and Green...Beginning Earth is Our Home

Today we learned about how unsafe common household cleaners can be to our health, and that alternative "green" cleansers are safer for us and the environment. We mixed our own concoction of vinegar, water, and lemon juice (to give a slightly better scent) and went to scrubbing down the Girl Scout House! The girls were such good sports and after a while, didn't complain at all about the smell of the vinegar!
on

Practice Makes Perfect

Our troop was asked to conduct a flag ceremony for one of our local PTA board meetings! Learning an official flag ceremony is a must, because we could potentially be asked to perform a flag ceremony spontaneously and we must be prepared. Today we learned two basic ceremonies, but know that only experience will have us become pros! We are confident that when our time comes to perform, we will definitely succeed!

...and Sit-Upons again...

Worked again on our Sit-Upons! We are just about completed with them, just one more meeting and we should have them all done!
on

Sit-Upons

We began the process to making our Sit-Upons! This will definitely take a few meetings to complete, but it will definitely be worth the time and effort as we won't have to remake these in the future! We sang repeat songs while we worked diligently.

We all have uniforms!!!

Every one is now uniformed! How exciting it is to see all the girls in their uniforms! We just had to take a group picture! A goal was set for every girl to wear her uniform to all meetings and earn points. If our goal is met, we will celebrate with a fabulous Swimming Party in April at the WT indoor swimming pool!

Discussion and Troop Planning

Learning a new grace is always fun! We learned one today to the tune of "We Will, We Will Rock You", and the girls loved it! We discussed our most favorite things we have done as a troop, and what we would like to do as troop in the future. We got some excellent ideas for upcoming meetings.

Beginning Sounds of Music

Miss Sharon came back again today and began the journey towards a new Try-It called Sounds of Music. With this badge, we made several types of instruments. A percussion instrument made out of a folded paper plate and birdseed, a single string swing was made out of an empty can and string, and a wind instrument was made out of a water bottle and a straw. The girls loved it! At the end of the meeting, we put all our instruments together and played like an orchestra to "The Brownie Smile" song.

Celebrating the Hispanic Heritage

September 15-October 15 marks Hispanic Heritage Month. We celebrated by learning the days of the week, months of the year, seasons, and how to count to 10 in Spanish. We also learned how to sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and say the Girl Scout Promise in Spanish. We made our own individual pinatas filled with traditional Mexican candy and enjoyed an orange beverage made in Mexico for snack time. The girls loved enjoying a new culture and learning about other traditions.

Making Music with Miss Sharon

Today we welcomed Miss Sharon, a music major from WT, to join us in earning our very first Try-It for our uniforms. We earned the Making Music Try-It by singing songs in rounds, putting actions to songs we already know and new ones we learned, we used melody glasses to make the tune to "Twinkle, Twinkle Star", and learned a new Girl Scout song from Israel called "Brownie Friend-Maker Song". The girls all had a blast with Miss Sharon and can't wait to have her back again to learn more about music.

Welcome Back!

So, after a long summer break, we are back in session! We started the year off with a review of things we learned last year as Daisies. Special Girl Scout ways include the Girl Scout handshake and sign, quiet sign, Friendship Circle and Squeeze. We reread the Brownie story which reminds us that good deeds can be done every single day and discussed how we as a troop would like to help others throughout the year. For snack time, we made S'mores. All these activities are included in the Girl Scout Ways Try-It. We will complete and earn this badge before our Court of Awards ceremony in December.

Such a Cool Treat...

It was good to see you girls today! We met at the local park and walked up the street with our families and bought snow cones. It was a perfect day for a cool refreshing treat! We sang some new songs and played new games that some of the girls have learned at resident camp. We are so ready for the year to begin!

Hamburgers, Games, and Fun! Oh My!

Tonight was our first Family Hamburger Dinner. We had an awesome turnout of our troop's family and friends. Some of us left soaking wet from the water balloons and bucket dumping! It was all in good fun though! Thank you to the Smith family for cooking our hamburgers on such short notice!
on

Officially Brownies!!!

We are officially Brownies! Yay! Next year will hold many more opportunities for us as a whole and I cannot wait! We are done for this year, but have a few meeting dates set aside for this summer for some true family summer fun! Have an awesome summer and I will see you all next year!

Mother's Day Tea Party

Our 1st Annual Mother's Day Tea Party was an absolute hit! We made wrapping paper tea party hats and tissue paper flower corsages for our moms. We served fresh fruit and marshmallows with chocolate dip and vegetables with ranch dressing and sherbet punch to drink. We learned a few words in French thanks to Fancy Nancy's Tea Party book. It was so fun to see all the girls with their little teacups and act so proper! Can't wait until next year's!
