Girl Scouts: Meeting Recap and More Nursing Home Dates!

Hi everyone!

We had a lot of fun today.

We split our time between our Sports and Fitness Patch activity and a Thanksgiving craft.  For our badgework the girls got a chance to do some teaching and learning.  Since many of the girls in our group do some sort of extracurricular activity (dance, cheer, poms, soccer, volleyball, basketball, etc.) we split them into groups and gave the girls a chance to "coach" other girls and teach some of their skills.  The girls learned about what makes teaching easier and what makes learning easier, and how they can apply that to the rest of their lives too.

We made pumpkin/candle centerpeices for Thanksgiving as bit of a holiday craft.  Feel free to decorate those pumpkins with more sequins and pins at home--I bet some of the girls will get them to sparkle!  

On a different note, as usual our visit to the Elizabeth residence was a good one both for the girls and for the residents there.  I love that tradition in our troop because everyone gets something out of it.  

We now have 3 more dates arranged, December 15, 19, and 20.  Sign up here to pick one!


Finally, the Raingutter Regatta is next week Friday.  I hope those boats are coming along well!  See you there!
