Girl Scouts: Reminder--BRING YOUR HAPPINESS JOURNAL

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that all scouts should bring the happiness journal we made last week, and also the answers to the survey questions they asked this last month.

See you tomorrow (Thursday)!

Girl Scouts: Cookie Kick Off Party in January!

Hi everyone!

The Greendale Cookie Kick Off Party is scheduled for January 9th in the Greendale Middle School MPR this year, and our scouts are old enough and have been to enough that they're ready to be in charge!

I've made a sign up for the event, and broke the evening into 2 shifts, 6:00-7:00 for set up and staffing a station, and 7:00-8:00 for staffing a station.  This will let the girls both help out, and play at the party.

Scouts from all over Greendale will be there, as usual, so this is a really wonderful opportunity for our girls to be leaders.  It's also a lot of fun, so I hope to see a lot of our girls there!

Sign up here:

Girl Scouts: December's Cold, but Scouting is LIT! (Meeting and updates)

Hi everyone!

A couple Decemeber notes:

1)  Meeting:  Date is December 21st after school, at GMS, in the room we were in for November. (Unless they shuffle us around again!)

We'll play some Scout games, continue organizing the events the girls wanted to create this year, and work on our "Science of Happiness" badge.  Speaking of...

2)  Happiness journals:  I hope everyone is keeping a good log of when they're happy!  A chunk of our meeting will be turning those journals into data we can use!

3)  Self Defense/Self Confidence/ Safety Tae Kwon Do event in January:  

Here's who I have marked as interested.  Any changes?
Portia (maybe)
Liliana
Samantha
Carrie
Megha
Kahlen
Evie
Ellen
Jesi
Kendra
Teagan
Katie

Also, the Tae Kwon Do instructor asked that a parent attend with the scout (if possible.)  Does that change anything?

Thanks so much!  See you soon!

Girl Scouts: Safety and Self Defense Activity--Who's interested?

Hi everyone!

One of our troop families has set up an opportunity at a Tae Kwon Do school for our scouts to learn about self defense, self confidence, and safety.

The event is set up on January 13th, at either 10:00 or 11:00 in the morning (depending on how many scouts are interested and available.)

So....

How many scouts are interested and available?  It sounds like a lot of fun, and also very useful for the girls.  The scout whose family set everything up is super excited!  Please let me know ASAP so I can give her an answer and lock in scheduling!  

It'll be a free event too, so no worries there either!
