Hobbies Try-it for Monday 9/22

On Monday, we work on the try-it "Hobbies". Our 1st few meetings have focused on getting to know each other as friends and better understanding Girl Scouts and Brownies in general.
Please take a look at the Hobbies try-it.
Ask your daughter to think about what hobbies they do. Do they collect anything? Play sports? Make anything? If it is possible they can bring an example either this Monday or the following. If you have time before Monday, you can discuss #1 and if the hobby is making things, maybe do #5. If not, no worries, we will get 4 options covered at the meeting.
Please have your girls read the Girl Scout Promise & Law at home from time to time. It is important that they know and can recite it with the group each week.
Thank you for your support. Please let us know if you need us to order the sash & insignias & pins for your Brownie.

Friends are Fun - Try-it #2

I have added those who signed up to send a Healthy Snack to the Calendar. If you would like to sign up for a specific date, please email Amy @ theakins@sbcglobal.net - there are many still available.
The meeting this week focused on "Friends". The try-it is "Friends are Fun". We made friendship bracelets and worked on writing a secrete code to a friend. The home work for the girls is requirement #1:

Look for new friends at school or at after school activities. Is there someone who is sitting by herself? Does she look lonely? Go up, smile, and introduce yourself. Then invite her to join you!

One thing I forgot to put on the Newsletter, is that the girls bring a quarter each week, at the end of the year we use the collection for either part of a service project or the end of the year party. This year, it may go towards the bridging ceremony to Girl Scouts Juniors.

We want the girls to bring ideas for activities, field trips and service projects that they would like for the troop to participate in throughout the year.
