Still looking for a date to do something fun! Also: Girl Scout SONG Contest!

Hi everyone,

#1)  A couple notes:  I only heard from one person about potential dates to do something fun for a meeting.  If you have ideas, please share.  Tubing again? Escape Room again? Splatter party? Something new?  Waffle party?  Just hang out time?  

What days of the week are generally free for everyone?  Tuesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday evenings ok?

#2)  Short timeline, but if anyone's interested in getting some scouts together together before Monday to do this, that would be awesome:

Girl Scout Cookie Musical Parody Contest

If you love Girl Scout Cookies and singing, it's time to get artistic and create a Girl Scout Cookie Musical Parody! Either sing by yourself or gather up with other Girl Scouts, choose any song, add your cookie-themed spin to it (new lyrics, props, etc.), and submit your video. The top three parody videos submitted will be featured in our upcoming Virtual Cookie Rally! (Note that submitters will need to save the video file in a cloud-based storage space and share the direct link to the video file with council.)

Submit Parody by January 16

Girl Scouts: Something Fun, and Something Else Fun!

Hi everyone!

First:  Happy Holidays; I hope you're all staying warm!

Second:  Evie suggested we do something fun, and that sounds like a great idea.  Would anyone be interested in doing just a fun scout-night-splatter-room-party at Field Workshop one of these days coming up?  Between Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, which is better for everyone?

Third:  We've been invited to bring the robot we brought to the Girl Scout Zoo Day to the Girl Scout Cookie Kickoff Party and Admirals game on February 4th.  We'd run it as a "Robot Cookie Delivery Station" and would all get free tickets to the Admirals game that evening that's connected to the kickoff event.  We'd be responsible for being at the kickoff event from 1:00-6:00PM, and could stay for the admirals game or head home, whichever you prefer.  I need to have numbers to scouts pretty quickly, so let me know if you're interested ASAP!

Fourth:  Enjoy the rest of your break, and Happy New Year!

Girl Scout Climate Challenge Day November 8th

Hi again!

Remember tomorrow is Girl Scout Climate Challenge Day at GMS!

6:30-8:00. 

We'll be helping younger Girl Scouts work on their Climate Challenge Badge.  It should be a ton of fun.  We'll be doing things like:

Explore greenhouse gases and the carbon cycle,

Explore land, air, water, and biodiversity of a garden,

Learn about climate change's effects on bees and other pollinators,

Plant a tree,

Make a map of community resources,

Learn about invasive species,

Help reduce their home's carbon footprint,

Go to a community event to help the environment (hint--they're at one!)

Learn the steps of the scientific method,

Mrs. Hahm will be the keynote speaker, so it's also a great opportunity to get some brownie points in with her if you're taking (or will take) Chemistry, APES, or any of her classes!

Location!

Oops!

I see I forgot to remind that it's in the MPR at GMS.

Hi everyone,

First:  I'm excited you're getting your advocacy in tomorrow!  Great work on having an idea, a plan, and then executing it by reaching out to talk directly to School District policymakers to tell them how important it is to put in place stronger actual policies to promote hiring more diverse staff!

Second:  Just a reminder that we're scheduled to help younger Girl Scouts work on their Climate Challenge Badge next Tuesday from 6:30-8:00.  It should be a ton of fun.  We'll be doing things like:

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

Sounds good!

Let's plan for 1:15 Sunday at our house.  We'll have lunch while we work. 

Does everyone remember their jobs from the camp out?

See you Sunday!

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?
