Hello Girl Scout Families!
I know I've been promising this for a while, but the outline of the summer schedule's at the end of this email. (So you have to read the rest to get to it! Ha ha!)
First though:
I have a couple cross stitch starts and birdhouses leftover from the campout, and a puppy pillow pet. If you camper is missing something, let me know!
Second:
I need to get numbers for two of the Girl Scout events as soon as possible:
1) August 8th, 6:30-8:30 we're doing the Girl Scout Pool Party at Cool Waters again. One fee covered the whole troop and guests, so there's no additional fee for attending, (Scouts and their families are all invited!) I do need to know how many scouts we'll have coming though, and how many non-scout family members will be coming. So if you want to go, please get that information to me as soon as you can!
2) The September Campout at Silverbrook. I signed our troop up for this as an overnighter again. This camp will run September 11-12-13th We won't be sharing the lodge this year--we'll have it all to ourselves! I scheduled us into the Sandy Point building for both Friday to Saturday night and Saturday to Sunday Night. HOWEVER, if too many other troops want to do an overnight, we may get bumped down to a single night in the lodge, I would likely choose Friday-Saturday, but could be talked into Saturday-Sunday if that's what most of the scouts attending would prefer. (But let's not cross that bridge until we have to.)
Your scout will have the choice of either sleeping over both nights, just staying during the day on Saturday to do the camp activities, or sleeping over either Friday or Saturday night (IF WE GET BOTH NIGHTS). We'll work out rides and carpools as the event gets closer and I know who can go. No matter how long your scout stays, the fee will be $21, and will include a camp patch, camp t-shirt, all meals, and activities. Let me know ASAP if you want your scout to go. There is a HARD deadline of July 20th for registration. If you don't tell me before that, then the only way I can get your scout in would be if someone else cancels, and in that case you'd have to hope their T-Shirt sizes match!
There's also a variable cap on the number of scouts that can go based on how many parent volunteers we can get. As usual, since I help organize this campout, I'll be spending most of the day on Saturday running an activity station, so we'll need at least one extra parent on Saturday to stay with the girls as they go from camp activity to camp activity. Other than that, only 12 scouts can stay overnight each night + 4 more for each extra parent that we can get to sleep over that night.
So, if your scout wants to attend any part of that camp, let me know now. Thanks!
Finally:
