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:
