Hi everyone!

I have three families signed up for Cool Waters on 7/20:

Anyone else?  I have to give final numbers to the organizer very soon!  Cost is all covered!

Also:  How does 8/4 sound for our traditional troop trip to Old World Wisconsin?  Who's in?

Girl Scouts: Greendale 4th of July Parade Lineup

Hi everyone!

Just a quick reminder for the 4th of July Parade next Thursday with some great news: We're near the front!  

Our scouts will be lining up in spot #7.  I have flags reserved and candy ready.  The parade organizers are asking us to meet on Grange at 9:30 this year, and since we're near the front, it's probably a good idea to stick with their timeline this year.

What:  4th of July Parade

When: 9:30AM July 4th

Where:  Meet on Grange across from Southridge, end by Greendale High School

Who:  All scouts!

Happy marching, see you soon!

Aleks

Girl Scouts: Meeting Recap and Summer Link Again

Hi everyone!

What a fun last meeting!  We did so much, so here's a quick recap:

We started by heading outside and cleaning up around GMS.  The girls collected so much trash and litter from around the school you can really see the difference they made!  (Picture attached.)

To relax afterwards we churned our own ice cream in plastic bags.  Our 2-3 ingredient ice cream tasted great and was nice and refreshing since the heat and humidity had turned up right about then.  The girls were pro's at making it, so I'm sure they could share the recipe and process at home if you want to do it as a family!

After that we took a little bit to work on one of our badge "missing assignments" by making some nature-inspired poetry and sharing it with the group.  I've already sent everyone the pictures and videos (if I had them) of the recitals--you can see how much fun the girls were having!  

Then we took it inside, and had our pizza while we reminisced about what fun we remember from this year, and what we might want to do next year.  From the girls' notes, here are some highlights:

Fun from this year:

Pizza

Snow Tubing

Winter Adventure Race

Tie Dying

Nightime walk around scout lake

Smoothie making

Making clay baguettes

Beach cleaning and pizza

Kahoot quizzes

Thanksgiving grilled cheese making

Yogurt parfait bar

Renaissance Faire

Making dog treats

Walking path audit

Edible fire-making

Silverbrook camping

Fun Ideas for NEXT Year:

Waterpark

Winter Scavenger Hunt

Renaissance Faire

Discovery World (Overnight?)

Grant Park Lodge Sleepover

Cake Pop Making

Jump Zone (Overnight?)

Swimming

Old World Wisconsin Halloween

Build a Fort and Watch a Movie

Some of those ideas are already on the menu, so remember to sign up here for our Summer adventures!

Girl Scouts: This week and next!

Hi everyone!

Two notes:

#1)  YES there's a meeting this Wednesday, and we do have a room reserved.  We'll start in Mrs. Perry's room, as usual, but will move outside if it's nice.  Plan on doing some school cleaning, some making-our-own-ice-cream, some pizza, and some summer/next year planning.

#2)  Sign up for helping at School's Out next Tuesday.  As always, this celebration is a lot of fun, and let's not forget it all started because our girls needed a space to do their Bike Safety Bronze project two years ago!

Thanks, and see you Wednesday!
