Hi Scout families!
Before I get into the dates, an update on one of our projects from last month, the recycled plastic bag bracelets. One scout wanted me to share this website with everyone for additional uses of plastic bags--things like making doormats, yarn, flowers, and even baskets from those bags! http://ecosalon.com/diy-10-things-to-make-from-plastic-bags/
Now, three dates for your calendar:
1) June 5th, Green Corners Girl Scout Picnic 12:00-4:00 at Konkel Park. The Girl Scout Service Area is providing the meat but sides are potluck and there's no charge to join in. There'll be games, and food, and a lot of fun. I need to have a headcount ASAP though, so if you're interested in coming, let me know!
2) Our rescheduled local "Go Green" event Sunday May 29th, 11:00-2:00 Scout Lake Park. To (belatedly) celebrate Earth Day, we'll be meeting up at Scout Lake park to do a park cleanup and do our part for our local environment. Bring a lunch and we'll have a picnic and do some celebrating afterwards--making sure to clean up after ourselves then too!
3) 3rd and 5th Grade scouts bridging ceremony June 3rd 6:30-8:00. Our 3rd grade scouts are growing out of Brownies and into Juniors, and our 5th grade Junior Scouts are growing out of Juniors and into Cadettes, and this is the time we celebrate that milestone. Anyone is free to join us at the bridging ceremony that Friday evening to congratulate these scouts on their milestone.
And, speaking of dates, our May meetings are May 12th at College Park, and 18th and 19th at Highland View. The Meeting Sign Up will be available soon.
Finally, our troop still has some cookies available to sell. While they won't add to girls totals for prizes, if you know anyone who might want a few more boxes, every sold box gets the troop one step closer to Washington DC next summer (2017) and helps cover the various other troop expenses throughout the year. Contact Ms. Kelly for details ( kellymatt8476@gmail.com )
Thanks everyone!
