2012 Troop 8035 Daisy Jamboree Schedule!

Ok everyone, here's the tentative timeline and schedule for the first ever troop 8035 Jamboree! I expect there'll be some time shuffling as the event goes on, since, well, it's our first time. But this should be the gist of it.

Before that though, the Sign-Up list is available now, so if you want to sign up to bring something we need, please check it out here:

Schedule

Saturday 6-9
3:00-3:30 Setup

3:30-5:00 Woodland scavenger hunt
We'll split into teams and search the park in a nature scavenger hunt. A grown-up will get the fire (fires?) going in the meantime so we can get back and start dinner. There'll be prizes for the first team to complete their list.

5:00-6:00 Campfire dinner & make ice cream
We'll cook our hot dogs on the fire, and eat some dinner. When we're done, we'll make our own ice cream!

6:00-6:30 Graduation
We'll get our 1-year Daisy Stars, and recite the Girl Scout promise. If any girls want to share what they've liked best about Girl Scouts this year they can do that too.

6:30-7:30 Rock painting
We'll paint rocks we find in the park, to help remember our day.

7:30-8:30 sing & marshmallows & popcorn
We'll fire up the fires again, roast marshmallows and cook some popcorn. We'll all learn new (and old) Girl Scout songs around the fire!

8:30-9:00 Clean up
We'll clean up outside, to be good scouts.

9:00-9:30 Stories and fingernail painting
We'll bring it inside to paint toenails and tell stories.

10:00 Bed
We'll take it to our beds, or tents, or sleeping bags, and see if we can get some sleep.

Sunday 6-10
7:30-8:30 Wake up, and morning hike
We'll wake up, and get ready for the day by seeing the morning birds and sunshine on a walk through the park while a grown up gets the fire ready to cook breakfast.

8:30-9:30 Eat
We'll eat eggs, pancakes, and bacon cooked on a fire!

9:30-10:00 Pack
We'll pack it up, and make sure the site is Girl Scout clean!

10:00-11:00 Clean up and play in the park
Finish up cleaning and play in one of the great playgrounds nearby in Whitnall.
