Still Questing

Tonight we followed our Brownie Quest map toward the second key "Connect".
We completed the first step and created a Brownie team agreement.

We promise to act like a team-
to listen
and to help each other.
We all think these things are important.

And our team thinks it's important to:
Be responsible for my part in team plans and activities;
Be respectful -listen to others, respect other people's things, not be mean to others;
Not be bossy - be polite;
Show up on time;
Not whine.

We read what's Happening at Campbell's house (pg. 54) and talked about things that could be changed to make Campbell's home safer, healthier and happier.

We completed the first half of our second step by talking about ways our families might live healthier lives. We made family fun envelopes. The girls are going to fill them with fun/ healthy ideas of activities you can do as a family. You will need to try one of these activities out so your daughter/s can report back to the troop next week.

I don't know what went on in your house last night, but Miriam hammered out about 15 activities we will be doing as a family. Looks like we may have a busy week -maybe I can convince her that napping is healthy :)

Planning

Last night we talked about our troop budget and made plans for spending our cookie money -all $3,000 dollars of it. The girls had an opportunity to present ideas -any new ideas should be brought forward next Monday night.

So far, a three day trip to San Antonio is on the agenda for next fall...a sleepover at Sea World, a day at Sea World, a boat ride on the River Walk, and a day at Natural Bridge Caverns and Wildlife Safari should provide plenty of opportunity for adventure and education.

Also, a recognition party for an amazing cookie sale will take place at a water park in Tyler this summer. I can't think of a better place for a party!

Because of our hard work (business meetings are always work) we completed the first activity of our Penny Power girl scout try-it.

More pictures coming soon!

Chrissa

It was great to see everyone last night -I feel like I have been out of the loop for quite a while!

Last night the girls from Troop 9052 introduced Chrissa as our next book club selection. We talked about bullying, took a survey to see if we have any bullying tendencies, and made book marks.

if you do not already have your book, then you can pick it up at Hastings. Remember to tell them that you are on a list (under my name) to receive the book at my educator's discount price.

Now it's time to start reading :)

Here are more pictures from last night's meeting.
