Thanks for a Great March Meeting!

Thanks for another great meeting everyone!

The girls all seemed to have fun as we learned about the Girl Scout Promise and made our first couple Daisy Flower Petals. Congratulations to Miss Kelly's team for winning the Girl Scout Promise Puzzle race! Check out the pictures in the picture gallery.

Inside the Girl scout Law book I made for the girls you'll find several felt pieces--2 white ovals, a white circle, a dark green oval, a light green oval, and a blue circle. The white pieces are backgrounds for the colored pieces to start assembling the Daisy Scout flower on their tunics.

A few notes on the felt flower pieces:
1) There will ultimately be ten petals around the blue "Promise Center," so make sure there's enough room.
2) You can sew them on, or, I have some adhesive tabs that claim to bond fabrics if you would rather just stick them on the tunic.
3) I noticed some of the girls' cutting got a little ragged. If your Scout, (or you!) would like more felt to try again, I have extra. Daisy Flower Petal Iron-On patches are also available at the Girl Scout store, or on-line as another option.
4) A few petals and blue flower centers were left behind in the meeting room. As I mentioned above, I have extra felt if anyone needs.

The girls also seemed to really enjoy getting their badges. As far as putting the badges on your tunics, the World Thinking Day badge can go on the front of the tunic, on the bottom panel--below the pocket line. The rest of the badges (Winter Fun, Scout Skate) can go anywhere on the back. The 100th Anniversary Patch from the event at the Bradley Center also goes on the back of the tunic. The flower petal and promise center patches (felt cut-outs) go on the front of the tunic, in the center.

To get started on our next flower petal, the girls do have some homework, but it should be fun. I sent home a sheet for them to draw a picture of a time when they acted like a sister (a good sister!) to another Girl Scout. If they would like, they'll get a chance to share what they did at the next meeting.

Finally, I sent home the invitation from the College Park Brownie troop for our girls to join their April meeting. It sounds like it will be fun, so RSVP to Holly at the number or email address on the invitation sheet. If an invitation didn't make it home with you, here are the details: Thursday April 26th 6:30-7:15 with Brownie Troop 1165. It will be in the College Park Elementary School cafeteria. Contact me for Holly's information to RSVP.


Thanks again, have a great night!
