JUNIORS ready to begin a "Journey"

That's right!... we'll start earning our first Journey Patch through the "Agent of Change" Journey. Over the next several months, the Junior Girl Scouts in Troop 9691 will learn about

• The Power of One
• The Power of Team
• The Power of Community

The girls are encouraged to work through their workbooks at home as directed by their leader each troop meeting. When we meet we'll dedicate some time going over the material. We will also have special projects at troop meetings that we will complete for this Journey in the three different areas of Awards.

In addition to "Agent of Change", the girls will begin working toward their next Badge, "World Neighbors"; to be completed mid November.

AT HOME PROJECTS for "World Neighbors":

Choose one language other than your own. Learn to say "hello," "goodbye," "thank you," "you're welcome," and learn to count to ten in your chosen language. Be prepared to share what you learned at the next couple meetings. To help you learn, you may use http://translate.google.com/.

Research and share how other countries/cultures celebrate Christmas.

AT TROOP MEETING:

We'll discuss 5 problems that might occur when people who are different live or work together and talk about the solutions.

Participate in "Operation Christmas Child" with our entire Troop #9691; Junior Girls will wrap all the shoe boxes at our next troop meeting to have them ready for filling with gift at our mid-month troop meeting. "Operation Christmas Child" is a great way to selflessly give to other children across the world and help make their Christmas more special. We will track the gift boxes to see what country each will go.

Learn to make "French Toast"; of course, we'll get to taste our creation! ...fantastique

We finished our meeting this week off with decorating some mini pumpkins to commemorate Halloween. (earning a Halloween Fun Patch)

JUNIOR GIRLS~ Have fun learning your words and numbers from your selected language! We can't wait to hear all you learned!
