Girl Scouts: A Few Updates and a Reminder

Hello again!

First for the updates:

1)  Last Thursday's meeting was great!  We invented our own recipes, we played a healthy-eating game, and made from scratch our snack--homemade berry cream cheese roll-ups, with fresh berries!  The girls really had a good time using their muscles to mush the cream cheese and berries together, almost as good of a time as they had eating it!  The meeting on the 30th will be a repeat of this last one for the girls that didn't get to go on the 9th.

2)  The cookie kick off party was a lot of fun too.  Thanks to everyone that braved the ice sheets to come out.  I think the girls enjoyed it, and I've heard reports of cookie crown sightings around Greendale the next day! 

3)  Patch Update.  Yes, I have a lot of patches to hand out to the girls.  I'm sorry they've gotten backed up!  There are artist patches, campout patches, nursing home visit patches, patches for the Discovery World trips, and patches for the RecPlex overnight adventure.  I just have to sort out who gets what, but they should be soon.  

4)  Speaking of Discovery World Trips, it's almost last call for anyone that wants their scout to go on the Discovery World Spa Chemistry Sleepover:

Name: Spa Chemistry Sleepover 1/31/2014 7:00 PM-2/1/2014 7:00 AM

Facility Location: Discovery World

Milwaukee, WI

Description:

Spa Chemistry Sleepover 

Grades 2-5

Discover the science and art of perfumes, soaps, and lotions. Create your own unique spa recipes and take home your own signature fragrance. Pet a shark in the Reiman Aquarium, lie on the bed of nails, and wake up to a sunrise over Lake Michigan.

PLEASE NOTE: Since bed space is limited we ask that troops only register the required number of adults to meet Safety-Wise ratios. If more adults want to attend, please contact the council two weeks before the event to see if space is available.

And finally:

5)  The 18th (This Saturday)  is the Poland Under the Glass event at the Domes.  These are usually also a bunch of fun with crafts and food and fun things to learn and do.  We can drop in when we like, the event runs from 9-4.  $6.50 adults, $5.00 admission for kids 6-17.  As always, let me know if you'd like the troop to cover it.  Let me know if you'd like to attend, so we can schedule the best time to go.

Have a great week, and see you soon!
