Girl Scouts: 4th of July Parade? Let's represent!

H everyone!

The 4th of July Parade is coming up quickly and I only see a couple girls signed up to march.  This is our chance to represent Girl Scouts to all of Greendale.  (And give out a lot of candy!)  Don't worry, we always make sure the girls have candy to keep too--probably more than they'd get watching from the sidelines.

We'll meet up in the Southridge parking lot off of Grange at 9:30.  It's so much fun!

As Cadettes, our girls are leaders amongst the scouts now, and this is a great time to work with the younger scouts that are marching and be a good example.

Also--I know 22 of you girls went to Washington DC last week.  This is a chance to follow up our visits to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Pentagon, the many memorials we visited and learned about.  Celebrate the birth of our country!


Thanks,

Aleks

Girl Scouts: Last Call for September Campout and Cool Waters Pool Party!

Hi everyone!

In the next day or two I have to turn in registration forms for the Cool Waters Pool Party on August 5th, and the Campout in September.  So sign up now if you're interested!  There aren't a lot of scouts signed up--and for sure the more the merrier.

Cool Waters Girl Scout Pool Party!  August 5th, 2017 6:45-9:00 PM Just like it says--a pool party for Girl Scouts at Cool Waters water park in Greenfield.  No charge!  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-other 

September Silverbrook campout--don't forget to sign up for your space at the SIlverbrook Camp Out in September.  September 8-10th.  We may have enough space to sleep over both nights if you want, so if your scout wants to stay over both nights, sign up for both!  Sign up here:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-september3

And if you need details on the other events on that sign up, here are those details from the previous email:

Scout Day at the Renaissance Faire!  July 15th, 2017 10:00-7:00 PM  The girls have loved going the past few years, so we'll keep that one alive too!    Families are welcome, but not required.  Adult Tickets (age 13+) $20.00  Child Tickets (age 5-12) $8.50 – limit 6 children per paying adult.  As always, don't let the cost stop you from participating.  If it is prohibitive, just let me know and we'll cover it from the troop.

Laura Ingalls Wilder's 150th birthday celebration at Old World Wisconsin!  July 30th, 2017 10:00-5:00 PM.  Meet Laura and do the things she did throughout the day at Old World Wisconsin.  Families are welcome here too, but not required.   Adults (18-64) $19; children (5-17) $10 (children 4 and under are free).  As always, don't let the cost stop you from participating.  If it is prohibitive, just let me know and we'll cover it from the troop.

Need 2 Girl Scouts!

Hi!

I need a couple girl scouts for a couple very important jobs:

1)  I need a scout or two to go to the Greendale health Department and ask if we can use their prize wheel for our Bike Safety Trivia challenge at our Safety Event on June 9th.

2)  I need a scout or two to ask Mrs. Flater at Highland View, and (if they have them) Mrs. Owens-Burr at College Park if we can use their traffic Stop signs for the bike safety clinic too.  

Who's brave?

Girl Scouts: Camping and Bike Safety!

Hi everyone!

Just two quick items on the agenda right now:

1)  A scout asked me to resend the bike safety information they should be familiar with before the event next Friday, so I've attached the brochure scouts made, and the bike and helmet safety checklists to study too.  It would be AWESOME if you gave your scout a practical quiz looking over bikes or helmets at your house and having her work through the checklist on them!  (And if you haven't yet, sign your scout up here to make this project a reality!)  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-bike

2)  Camping!  Here's a sign up for the September Campout!  It's always a lot of fun!  If you already emailed me to say you were going, feel free to sign up again.  I won't forget you, I promise, but it would be great to have everything in one place!  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-september3

Happy scouting!
