Food's on me! 

See you Friday,

Hi everyone,

A few quick notes:

#1)  I bought Girl Scout graduation cords for the seniors (Ellen, Ava, Evie, Katie) let me know the best way to get them to you!  (And Juniors, I'll make sure to get them for you next year too!)

#2)  One more for the Juniors:  The deadline to apply for the GSWISE Board of Directors was extended to May 27th.  It's a pretty big opportunity, with the chance to make some amazing connections with leaders (C-suite level!) of major Milwaukee companies, as well as within Girl Scouts.  Obviously I will 100% enthusiastically recommend any of you that apply.   You can check out the link here:  https://gswise.jotform.com/241077097349868 If you do choose to apply, please let me know about writing your letter of support at least a day before the 27th though :)

#3)  Traditionally (since we're the ones that started the event 8 years ago) our Girl Scout troop volunteers doing stuff at the School's Out Event in Greendale June 7th, 3PM-7PM.  I've kept the face-painting booth open for you again.  If you're available for one last run, please let me know if you can paint a bunch of kids faces that night again!

Girl Scouts: Stuff for Seniors, and Stuff for Everyone!

Hi everyone!

1)  Remember the Climate Change event you helped at last year at Greendale Middle School?  It's back, but this year it's focused on Mental Health.  Called "Resilient, Ready, and Strong" it's focused on giving Girl Scouts tools to be....resilient, ready, and strong.

There are booths that need leaders that include:

Sharing stories of joy and strength,

Creating bookmarks tied into the Girl Scout Promise,

Planting trees,

Making "source of strength" necklaces.

It's November 28th, 6:15-8:30; anyone available?

2)  We still have a hefty bank account to spend on you scouts, and time is running out to do it!  Still looking for ideas.  If most of you are available that Thursday 11/28, maybe we get together before the event to talk ideas?

Girl Scout Zoo Day and How to use our budget?

Hi everyone!

Just following up.  We have Girl Scout Zoo Day coming up 10/15, and could use a couple girls to help out.  It's always fun!

And I'm still looking for plans to use up some of the money you all have saved through the years!

Hi you busy busy girls!

So, this is the last year of scouting for a lot of you (*sob*) so there's a lot to do!

#1)  There's about $4,700 in the troop bank account.  You girls need to use it or it just goes away!

#2)  Some of you are working on gold projects--what do you need to move forward?

#3)  What would you like to do?

#4)  There are a few things we've done in the past coming up that would be great to have you in again (I know band will keep some of you out of some of them, but hopefully you can join in!)

    Hay Days next Saturday 9/23.  We'll have a booth there (coop with community robotics) doing STEM activities with kids and making cards for kids in hospitals, and maybe making fall buttons.

    Girl Scout Zoo Day 10/15.  (Also coop with robots) doing STEM activities with mostly younger scouts at the zoo (this one is always fun!) and youll get to enjoy the zoo too!

#5)  The service unit is looking at moving its campout to the weekend of February 17-18th (Freeze your Fanny camp!) you have off of School 2/16-2/19, so it might be fun to help out and camp that weekend!

#6)  Let's make this last year amazing!
