Girl Scouts: Meeting recap--and lost-and-found!

Hi everyone!

First:  Who's missing a "Cookie Ninja" hoodie? 

Second:  Who's missing a backpack?

Moving on, what a fun time!  It was the last Highland View meeting of the year, so of course it was ice cream and pizza time!

The girls also had the opportunity to hold a mock Bike Safety Clinic for the parents that were there, including a bike helmet safety test with an unsafe helmet, and a bike safety check with an unsafe bike.  They made detailed lists of everything they need, including staff, for the various booths they want to have at the event (bike quiz, skills course, coloring area, police lecture, helmet check, bike check) and I'll get that Sign Up Genius list out tomorrow!  I think they'll be very ready for the All-Greendale Event on June 9th (which is great, since we've been talking about it for months!)

I think they're getting into it!  We did assign homework, and that's to study the materials that the girls have about bike safety.  Even though the girls talked the police and fire departments into being on hand, it's still important for them to know their stuff.

I've re-attached the flyer the College Park girls helped make, as well as bike-check and helmet-check lists the girls can study to make sure they know their bike safety.  Please take some time between now and the 9th to work with them on this so they can represent themselves, scouts, and their school properly.

Also, since the girls don't have school the afternoon before the event, we'll have a practice run through sometime that afternoon.  Remember, the event itself runs from 4-9PM, so if we set up between 1:00-3:00, we can have a dry-run from 3:00-4:00 to get all the bugs worked out.

Happy Scouting!
