Girl Scout meeting reschedule Sunday: Only 1 response, so we'll try a different day?

Hi everyone,

I only heard back from one person about a reschedule for our meeting to be this Sunday, so we can try a different day.  How does the afternoon on Sunday the 23rd look?  The Fun Run should be over by noon, so we could meet anytime after 1:00.  How does that work for you all?

SUNDAY Meeting Change + Help?

Hi everyone!

At the campout we had scheduled a follow-up meeting for our Journey work for this Sunday.  However, it looks like we'll need to reschedule :(

The Girl Scouts on our robotics team were invited to do STEM and robotics activities at Girl Scout Zoo Day on Sunday from 9:00-3:00PM, a few of us can't be there, and I know another Scout is scheduled for work that day and another is celebrating her mom's birthday.

HOWEVER, if one girl still wants to do scouting stuff that day, I do have one extra "Girl Scout Zoo Day" ticket for someone to help there (don't worry, you'd get breaks to wander the zoo, and lunch is provided too!) doing STEM stuff (static electricity butterflies like these:  https://iheartcraftythings.com/static-electricity-butterfly-experiment.html ) with younger scouts--let me know!

Also HOWEVER,  and very relatedly, I was talking with Brian the Library Director, and they've been having a LOT of trouble finding "books" for their human library.  If any of you are interested in being human books, or feel like you've suffered from a stigma or prejudice, I can give you his information to contact to see if this would be something appropriate for you.  There would be training and careful consideration beforehand by the library staff to make sure you weren't uncomfortable, or in any way put in a difficult situation.

As far as rescheduling, the Journey work on equity and representation advocacy, does next Sunday 10/16 work?  Same time (10:00?) or different?

Girl Scouts: camp logistics for tomorrow!

Hi everyone!

So here's our schedule for tomorrow (Saturday)

We'll meet up at 8:00PM at GHS as band is wrapping up. We'll pack up the van and head right to Silverbrook as soon as the band members are ready. 

I'll have been at camp earlier and will have prepped a fire pit so when we get there we we'll light it up and have a little fire dessert (s'mores, marshmallows, fruit pies) then head in and either fall asleep or try to get some of our journey work done. 

We'll sleep until we're ready to wake up Sunday,cook a campfire breakfast, do camp stuff (fish, archery, craft stuff) get back to journey work, and head out around 2:00 to be back at our house around 3:00. 

See you tomorrow night!

Hi everyone!

As is traditional, there'll be the Green Corners Campout the weekend of September 9-10-11.  I'd like to use that time for our troop to focus on the Journey work we started this summer on the Advocacy for Equity Journey.  I think if we're able to focus on it for a solid block, we should be able to get the legwork done to be get a solid "Take Action" project in motion, which is the capstone of each GS Journey and will make a sustainable difference in our community.  

HOWEVER, I know you're all busy.  In fact, I know at least two of you will have a commitment that Saturday morning/early afternoon, so I'm wondering what doing the campout as a Saturday evening->Sunday daytime event would look?

How many of you would be available to come to Silverbrook Saturday late afternoon/evening (think like arriving at 4:00-ish) and wrapping up around 2:00 Sunday?

Girl Scouts: Campout/Journey Work Conflicts Plan

Hi everyone!

Ok, our annual GS camp out is scheduled for this coming weekend, but so is everything else in the world!

I think the biggest conflict so far has been Band Family Night since that was Saturday evening, and just about everyone is connected to band somehow (colorgaurd, instrument, etc.)

So I'm thinking if we plan to head up Saturday after band night (whenever that ends) we can cook a camp fire dinner, do camp-y stuff, and do our journey work (equity advocacy) Sunday and still plan to be home Sunday mid afternoon (with enough time for homework).  Kathleen and I can drive folks up Saturday night and home Sunday if rides are needed. 

How does that sound to everyone?

Just putting this out there again!  Hopefully we can get a good crew together.

We'll be able to do camp stuff in addition to Journey work too (fire, cooking, activities, etc.)  I think the Mariners will be there and I'll see if they can get us in the boats on Sunday morning if they're staying that long too.

My question for you:
