Hello everyone!
Great meeting! Someone learned better time management! And that someone was me!
We worked on Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle by doing all three of them.
We learned to Reduce our waste by learning to make our own glass cleaner--that works amazingly! The recipe is: 1 Tbs Vinegar, 1 Tbs Rubbing alchohol, 1/2 Tsp Cornstarch, 1/2 Cup Water. Shake, and spray. (The shaking is important; you want to make sure the cornstarch is mixed up every time you use it.)
We learned to Reuse our old stuff, by using old magazines as jewelry and making magazine-paper-bead necklaces.
We learned to Recycle, by recycling old scrap paper into new paper with seeds in it that we can use to plant in a garden or other green space.
I found some great "Recycling Rocks!" patches at the Girl Scout store, so look for those to come home for your girls' sashes soon.
Just one new announcement: We have one meeting in June. Since we have four 3rd graders in our troop who will become Junior Scouts at the end of this year, and get their green sashes, I'd like to use that last meeting as a Bridging party for them. Can all of our 3rd graders come to the meeting on June 5th? If they can't, we'll schedule a bridging ceremony and party at a different time. I just thought this would be a good time for all our girls to congratulate our 3rd graders on moving up to the green.
And don't worry, they'll have green sashes, and be Junior Girl Scouts, but they're still welcome and a part of our Girl Scout Family. In fact, Ms. Kelly and I made sure we had an extra Troop Number (we're technically 8035 and 8036) so the girls can stay together if they want to stay together--I know that's been an issue at College Park when one part of a troop moved up a GS rung, and another part didn't. We may start to give them extra responsibilities as helpers during meetings, and things like that though...with great uniforms come great responsibilities!
Thanks again,
Aleks Skibicki
