Last minute reminder: Meet by the statue/flagpole if you're helping with the County site review!

Hi!

I'm expecting Teagan, Katie, and Eva (and Evie!) at the flagpole after school today.  We can't wait too long, because we need to be at Scout Lake Park by 3:15.  If any other scouts can/want to go, either bring them to the lakeside building at Scout Lake Park at 3:15, or meet at the statue/flagpole right when school is out.

See you soon!

Girl Scouts: Silver Project County Location Review at Scout Lake Park TOMORROW

Hi everyone!

After going through the county review process, the director of Milwaukee County Park Trails would like to meet to review the 3 sites the girls noted in Scout Lake Park for 2 signs and a bench.  

Jessica Wineberg needs to look at the specific sites, decide specific sign orientations and specific exact locations, as well as make the call to get diggers hotline to make sure we wouldn't be cutting any wires, pipes, or other infrastructure.

She would like to meet at Scout Lake Park at 3:15.  Who can join her?  If it's easier, I can just pick any interested scouts up after school and carpool us all over.  Just let me know who I would be waiting for to we don't strand anyone at GMS!

Additional Rennaissance Faire choices for the girls

Hi again,

Here is the passport the girls will work on on Sunday.  It would be great if the girls took a look at it ahead-of-time to see which activities they want to target.  Note that some of the activities are free, and some cost money; we like to target the free ones when possible so it's easier for family members to join in too!

Girl Scouts Renaissance Fair Sunday: Details and Questions!

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to school!  This Sunday is "Scout Day" at the Renaissance Faire and a bunch of you signed up to to go, so here are some details and questions:

We'll meet at our house (4256 Teakwood Ct.  Greendale, WI 53129)  at 9:00AM, with the goal of getting to the Faire when it opens at 10:00AM.

We generally get back home around 6:00-6:30, but if we're having too much fun, we may stay as late as 7:00 so wouldn't be home until 7:45.  If your scout is going without her family, we will make sure to text you as the time gets closer so you know precisely when to expect us.  

Scouts Weekend: Any Scout (Boy Scout, Girl Scout, Spiral Scout, etc.) is welcome to participate. Leaders and scouts IN uniform receive a discount for their entire party – no coupon needed.

Adult Tickets (age 18+) $20.00 (regularly $25.95)

Scouts (age 13-17) $15.00 (regularly $25.95)

Child Tickets (age 5-12) $8.50 (regularly $11.50) – limit 6 children per paying adult.

As always, if there is financial need, the troop can cover a scout's ticket, and the troop will pay for the patch at the end of the day if the girls complete their Rennaissance Fair Passport.

While we are there, we generally buy some food items to share, but your scout will probably want to bring money to spend on any additional snacking or souvenirs they want.  $20 should leave them with money left over to bring home.

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW:

In order to plan rides, since I see there are a lot of families going, I need to know who plans to drive themselves, and who would prefer to carpool.

ALSO:

On Wednesday, the schedule for the weekend will be posted here:

http://renfair.com/bristol/the-faire/stage-schedule/

If your scout has a chance to look through it and pick out things they might be interested in, it would make life a lot smoother when we're actually at the Faire and trying to decide where to go.  With this large of a group, we may split up into squads, so girls can have better chances of getting to what they want to see.
