To start off, we had <strong><span style="color:#660000;">snack, provided by Kara's mom, Roni, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!<br /><br /></span></strong>After snack we opened with our Girl Scout Promise and a quick memory refresher of the eight types of Girl Scout Cookies we are selling this year: Thin Mints, Carmel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Shortbreads, Lemonades, Thanks a lots, and Shout Outs. After a quick pop quiz to see if the girls remembered the names of the cookies, they got to taste samples of each type~ mmm-mmm good!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsaL8htYzIOiE5WCWFshJTrZurXwzHDviPocBpIYFf52PBc809neGjbt27cyWVNGXsl9Ur7aJcInZlZ-EPIRnjzjt1neUV2Ue-VEjXqypEwJejpsIgEt9jXBai0x_7YCZexaGz8bx7gEY/s1600/IMG_0117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564772918399828146" style="DISPLAY: block;

In the scouts’ Central and Western Massachusetts region, 14,000 Girl Scouts are expected to move nearly 1.2 million boxes of cookies. </div><div><br />To call the sale anything but a highly successful business venture is failing to do it justice. To dismiss the lessons the scouts learn while taking part in the sale is to do one’s business a real disservice. </div><div><br />The scouts’ advice is in some cases practically the same as the advice sold by any number of corporate strategy hawkers, marketing gurus, grand poobahs, evangelists or ninjas. In many cases, it’s better. </div><div><br />“It shows you that the power of networking is incredible,” said Richard Kennedy, president and CEO of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce and purchaser of countless boxes of thin mints. </div><div><br />“They engage every civic organization, every neighbor and friend, and it’s almost embarrassing not to buy them,” Kennedy said. “If one comes by, you buy from her. If 10 come by, you buy from 10.” </div><div><br />So, what are the lessons business leaders can learn from the Girl Scouts as they embark on their annual cookie sale? We’ll let the scouts themselves, namely Elizabeth Anderson and Hannah Schur of Westborough give the answers:</div><div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Perseverance<br /></span></strong>“The cookie sale is right in the middle of winter, and it’s cold; I spend hours on it. It takes up all of my weekends for two months,” Anderson, a 16-year-old high school sophomore, said. But it’s worth it. In the last three years, Anderson has sold about 4,000 boxes of cookies. </div><div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Promotion</span><br /></strong>“Don’t be afraid to promote your products,” Anderson said. “I would go door to door and I would be so afraid that people would just kick me out, but if people want a product,” they’ll buy it.</div><div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Be Nice</span></strong><br />“You should always be nice to any customers,” said Schur, an eighth grader. “Even if they don’t buy anything, be polite, because they might become future customers.”<br />Anderson said, “Be friendly and talk to people. Some girls in the troop are really enthusiastic, and some are not.” But when it comes time to tally up the sales, “you can tell who’s been sitting there with their arms crossed, because they sell half as much.” </div><div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Be Empathetic<br /></span></strong>“Put yourself in the customer’s shoes,” said Schur. “Do everything you can to be convenient to customers,” Schur said.<br />By being convenient, Schur is hoping to hit the biggest sales goal she’s had in her eight years selling cookies. In the past, she’s averaged about 360 boxes per year. Now, she’s shooting for about 700. </div><div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Be Opportunistic</span></strong><br />“Even thought I wanted to be home, I went out on Super Bowl Sunday to get more sales. Who doesn’t want Girl Scout Cookies while watching the football game?” Schur said.</div><div><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">The Incentives</span></strong><br />Schur, in setting her ambitious goal of 700 boxes of cookies, knows what’s at stake. At 1,500 boxes, scouts get a Wii game system.<br />“The incentives are not really that big until you get to 1,000,” Schur said. At 700, though, more money out of each sale goes toward Schur’s goal. She’s saving to attend the “100 Years of Girl Scouting” event in Washington, D.C., in 2012.<br />Anderson has been very successful. With her sales numbers and a successful application essay picked from among the essays of scouts from across the country, she was able to take one of the scouts’ “Destinations” trips to Costa Rica last summer. </div>Girl Scouts Rock!http://www.blogger.com/profile/12201838250099082842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010493943564975152.post-20442975205153931832011-01-10T18:38:00.001-06:002011-01-10T18:43:44.475-06:00Great Video~<div align="center"><br />ABOUT OUR COOKIES~<br /><object height="394" width="448"><param name="movie" value="http://www.nbcdfw.com/syndication?id=113124489&path=%2Faround-town%2Ffood-drink"><embed src="http://www.nbcdfw.com/syndication?id=113124489&path=%2Faround-town%2Ffood-drink" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" height="394" width="448"></embed><p style="font-size:small">View more news videos at: <a href="http://www.nbcdfw.com/video?__source=embedCode">http://www.nbcdfw.com/video</a>.</p></object></div>Girl Scouts Rock!http://www.blogger.com/profile/12201838250099082842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010493943564975152.post-18822057954801709262011-01-07T15:00:00.006-06:002011-01-07T15:12:26.988-06:00"it's COOKIE TIME!"<div align="left">It was great seeing everyone back from our holiday break.

This is our second year participating in Operation Christmas Child (OCC) as a troop service project. But when we really think about it, participating in OCC really goes beyond "service" for our girls. Operation Christmas Child is a mission to help fulfill their desire to help other other children and make the world a better place. OCC brings joy and the message of Christmas to children in 130 different countries who are in poverty situations.<br /><br />For this troop meeting we began with our OCC project. The girls collectively brought items to donate to a variety of shoe boxes for boys and girls ranging in ages 2-14 years old. (see <a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/11/operation-christmas-child-troop-service.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">THIS POST</span></a> for the details). </div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsD6BH_crV91fzEECeJw6o-gkQENTyKgkLILRR09cQ8pPL0xB5uqfS4Dae0Ulwfchzu58XokE3BuEytP_eZ9EyzDTAgswn4Myf28WQADZg7niID7qVAgS_nWOX_fuj376lZd5BpH4SE0/s1600/DSC02652.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541292983530814946" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsD6BH_crV91fzEECeJw6o-gkQENTyKgkLILRR09cQ8pPL0xB5uqfS4Dae0Ulwfchzu58XokE3BuEytP_eZ9EyzDTAgswn4Myf28WQADZg7niID7qVAgS_nWOX_fuj376lZd5BpH4SE0/s400/DSC02652.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This year, we filled a total of 17 boxes!!!

And as we all know, when it’s someone’s “Birthday”, it is a tradition to give them gifts. Today we come together as a Girl Scout troop to give Jesus a birthday gift. We are participating in Operation Christmas Child to give these gifts with joy, love, and a spirit of goodness. The children receiving these gifts, are receiving them in honor of Christmas, Jesus’ Birthday. When Jesus was alive, He told his friends “when you give to the poor, give to the hungry, give to people in need, it’s the same as giving to me” <span style="font-size:85%;">(paraphrased from Matthew 25:40)</span> May each gift we send be a blessing to each child receiving them and may these little ones who receive these gifts experience the true spirit of Christmas this year and always!

It's November!<div align="center">Our month has "Service" as a focus. After a wonderful snack (provided by Girl Scout Mom, Cynthia), we opened our troop meeting with the Girl Scout Promise and talked about how awesome it is that so many young ladies in our Girl Scout troop stepped up and gave to the food donation (over the past two troop meetings) to benefit a Food Pantry through Bay Area Fellowship on the West-side of our city to help our neighbors less fortunate. Collectively, the girls collected 310 cans, boxed goods, and non-perishable foods. The girls all pitching in what they could, from 5 cans up to 30 & 45, the combined amount is helping others and making a huge difference for the food pantry.<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536167440044538690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPaC-cIgfXaDuA7czd2vDveJ5G9_M24q4AXlcEkdz0n9F8ONe5zDf6l91uVFU0x7tPCgntAvKTt3Yv8vVamEJmXAqbbzeVFV2f-AaRURfrWAzOf3MA021qgvjjtI6uWTMAvnXkAXF6FSs/s400/IMG_5073_cropped.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><em>Good job girls!<br /></p></em></strong></span><p align="center">The girls broke into their levels to work on their projects~ (click each level below to view what the girls did)</p><ul><li><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;"><strong>DAISY</strong></span><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span></strong></div></li><li><div align="center"><a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/11/brownie-citizen-near-and-far.html"><span style="color:#663300;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>BROWNIE</strong></span> </span></a></div></li><li><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><strong>J</strong></span><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"><strong>UNIOR</strong></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><span style="color:#006600;"> </span></strong></span></div></li></ul><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#006600;"></span></strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><div align="center">"Thank you", Cynthia for the snack this week...</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong></strong></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>" Thank you" parents for all your support in our "Troop Giving" efforts...</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong></strong></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>and a special "Thank you" to Sergeant Brad Pici and Sergeant Roger Arevalo for speaking to the Brownie and Daisy levels about their service as a Police Officer and a how the girls can be "Good Citizens".</strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong></strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536167876101488834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF4eCmwOEpMdSXWi-NNJQ5nU9JhAHh27x_Gug6lhpm6tijzUVjgGB1CwatD_sF3mBhBHKKiERBlvEsqPVaGzl5h2RlD1fZh1vjYAKyn-dD2vyzzFGECf57IYFQeFh6-pt0RE9kZb-gLQE/s400/IMG_5435.JPG" border="0" /></div></strong></span>Girl Scouts Rock!http://www.blogger.com/profile/12201838250099082842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010493943564975152.post-627917544242540602010-11-05T15:29:00.004-05:002010-11-05T16:46:39.920-05:00BROWNIE~ Citizen Near and Far<span style="color:#006600;">The Brownie girls worked on a new Try-it today~ "Citizen Near and Far".

The girls' hearts were positively touched by this project as they thought about the different children that would be receiving the Christmas gift boxes they prepared. (Check out <a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2009/11/overflowing-generosity.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">THIS BLOG POST</span></a> for last year's OCC project)<br /><br />When we began this year's troop goal setting in July, almost every returning Girl Scout remarked they would like to participate in Operation Christmas Child again. We learned a lot from our first time participating last year and hope to actually get the "tracking" (done right this year) for each package we send. We will also include a picture of the Girl Scout Troop with a special note to the child receiving the gift.<br /><br />Please take time to view the short videos at the end of this post with your Girl Scout to get an idea what type of items to help your Girl Scout purchase (you may also refer to the information sheet your Girl Scout brought home from the meeting). The below videos will also help you know what we'll be doing at our next troop meeting mid-month (prior to awards) to earn our "Operation Christmas Child 2010" Patch.

The idea was so popular that in 1936, Girl Scouts of the USA enlisted bakers to handle the growing demand. Since then, selling Girl Scout Cookies® has become a successful way to help girls develop important leadership skills and earn money for activities. <span style="font-size:85%;">(1)</span><br /><br />With the another Girl Scout year upon us, we will have the opportunity to set new goals (troop and personal) and reach new heights as we prepare for our 2011 Cookie Season. This year we will not be taking "pre-orders", but will be participating in direct and booth sales; making it easier for the girls to sell product on hand at the time of the sale- not having to go back to all the pre-order customers a second time for delivery.<br /><br />Our troop #9691 will have a PARENT COOKIE MEETING in November to share all the details and give information packets to those Girl Scouts who wish to participate in this fun experience (Time and Date of meeting TBA). Below you will see the variety of cookies our Girl Scout 2011 line will include:<br /><br /><br /><div><div align="center"><strong><em></em></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5vQAaSTjh3tmb0p4kCTNNhbtLVLy9NYwSDWyxWNkSlMIbccg06vJyspdTAk1AmaxclpRMDIvWvvTwlMJzC5rSdjeqhFDREziia689t5-Ed2xisvKg5PHcEgLQ626yQovB_0RkjlJnaKE/s1600/GS+Cookie+8.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532160753379747762" style="DISPLAY: block;

WOW!!! The girls were treated with yummy "treat bags" containing a variety of goodies; she also brought bottled of water for the girls. "Good-a, Good-a", THANK YOU, PILAR!<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;">As snack was finishing, Leader Teri discussed the girls' newest challenge to contribute to the "Troop Giving" Food drive to help a local Food Pantry in the Westside of Corpus Christi to stock their shelves as they prepare to open their doors to help those in need. Although this is not a mandatory participation, the girls are encouraged to help <strong><em>make a difference</em></strong> in the lives of others by participating in this giving project. Teri emphasized that when we all do a "little", it adds up to "A Lot... even HUGE". We have almost 40 girls in our group and we all can come together to help others in need as the Girl Scout Promise states... "to help people at all times..." <strong><em>(Second Year Daisy, Allyson B., plans to go to neighbors in her neighborhood (with her mom supervising) and ask for donations of non perishable items for this good cause; What a great idea, Allyson!!! YOU GO, GIRL!)<br /><br /></em></strong>Each Girl Scout in our troop that brings at least FIVE (5) non-perishable items will receive a "Troop Giving" Fun Patch at our next "Court of Awards" Ceremony (Nov. 16). The ONE (1) Girl Scout that brings the most items will be awarded with a special prize.<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#ff6600;"></span><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530854741786069730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 161px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 119px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg39b9caj1caoW-YLNSqucs2E4kqOmGh0wXTntDk3Eh8SwE68-zGUfCf8c0nBFeJuOA-YXlRnS1wQzrD8twJ7tQ_gmxb9m7Gvx-T7Q-177DXsfkQgnj-NuIUqONIFxBS19k3Tnq0dOh0zk/s400/Troop+Giving+Patch.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#000000;">(Fun Patch)</span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;">We broke into our different levels with each working on a "Halloween Fun Patch" .

After the song, we had PIZZA for Snack!...<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Thank you Ms. Holly</strong> for bringing snack and drink this week!</span> <strong>& thank you volunteer parents and leaders (Tammy, Mandy, Noemi, Lisa, Novia, Kristi, Pilar, Stephanie, Holly & Teri)</strong> for all your help during the snack and helping with the meeting.<br /><br />After opening with the Girl Scout Promise, the girls broke into their separate levels to work on their different projects:<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000066;"><a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/10/daisy-girls-honest-and-fair.html">Daisy Girls: "Light Blue Petal" -Honest and fair</a></span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><strong><a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/10/brownie-girls-science-in-action-try-it.html"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#663300;">Brownie Girls: "Science in Action" Try-It</span></a></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/10/junior-girls-prints-and-graphic.html"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#006600;">Junior Girls: "Prints and Graphics" Badge</span></a></strong><br /><strong></strong><br />We came back together to finish our troop meeting with our friendship circles.<br /><strong></strong><br /><em>Announcements:</em><br /><em>The Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas is having our annual </em><a href="http://www.gsgst.org/images2/2010%20HOLIDAY%20CARD%20DESIGN%20CONTEST%20FLYER.pdf"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>"Design a Holiday Card" Contest</em></span></a><em>.

The girls had the treat to venture down to Ms. Barmore's class room for one of their "Science in Action" Patch projects. Ms. Barmore is our school's 7 and 8th grade Science teacher as well as a former longtime Girl Scout herself (13 years!). Ms. Barmore demonstrated a Balloon Blowing experiment (as outlined in the Brownie Try-It book, page 127)... the girls got to wear goggles and put on aprons like real scientists. They were greeted at the entrance of the classroom by a cool skeleton and through the whole Try-It, had a great time!<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525743449509961954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;

We discussed how and why the prints happen by rubbing color over paper. At first the girls stayed at the table where they rubbed a variety of coins. Soon they discovered an abundant amount of interesting areas away from the table along the walls of the room and areas of the floor and furniture to create more patterns. </div><div><div><div><div><div> </div><div> </div><div align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525766864592976322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCJysKPXWWWrxPayckufwpUtqpB8l0CZvQ-tL44gzQ7-lCSQ1js3v2g6YbjlgjuYc1WmlYnyHIIult3ZDiZrX8sW8PTjoHYWFAdsDM1i_8JUrJ8fvTCQxnSl5vUphZzBbdbdHxFvUtLdg/s400/IMG_7163.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="left"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525766887624925042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjustfwtuac8eyZsHZNoNVDeLUpGoEnj_yIQ2Tx6RPZD4737ju_iVNyuz0kX9VL5c_HGDksmfLISJdx1XT_HLzSiEQ6T0CNH85Q36r1AlHgPkDYhK4-j6QDK4fjlQK4YllJu1lNx8DEQII/s400/IMG_7164.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525766871676848354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2TS5z_oA45fEo0lsXnXUTR3ufcP8fVOfYVOBRwEFdFwk9doSxr0Suz5xd4jAiwRGTqocOiJ0Pv16A_i61bAudDP-4zWbZ0umD-Z7obkAcmZ3qGnSKvXss7szqZK-Y_E_iYSnEL2DQgMQ/s400/IMG_7165.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525766898704765250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBMyum2yGFQ2m57FrT4NlgW9zVo5ujNrmDjNt1bwQc6iOaq91uXcuFKXTv9bpnOgUMS7JTVIJVhcBBf_Tsod0JpLKtR7CERtYTjPkho71A6bpA-hEf7NDnB-UKUMXuNFGPLZULZpF9qYk/s400/IMG_7166.JPG" border="0" /><br />To finish the work on this badge, the girls began to design and create their own version of a "2010 Seasons Greeting from Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas" holiday card.

London Girl Scouts ROCK! We opened our troop meeting with our snack time~ cupcakes and juice box drinks! <strong>Thanks Girl Scout moms, Lauren and Teri, for supplying snack & drinks for this meeting!</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />After snack and clean-up, we opened our troop meeting with our Junior level leading us in the Flag Ceremony and Girl Scout Promise. They did a fabulous job and we'll plan on alternating this job through the year to all the levels. Since our single troop of multi-levels have grown so much this year, we want what is in the best interest of the girls and are separating them off to work on their different projects and activities according to their levels. There will be a number of times through the year we will have our troop time all together as one (Operation Christmas Child, Christmas Celebration Troop Meeting, Cookie Sales Meeting, World Thinking Day, Camping Fun Lock-in, and all our Court of Awards)<br /><br />This troop meeting the girls worked on the following:<br />DAISY~ <a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/09/girl-scout-promise-and-daisy-girls.html"><span style="color:#ff0000;">GIRL SCOUT PROMISE</span></a><br />(under the supervision of GS Leaders, Tammy & Teri and volunteers, Mandy & Noemi)<br /><a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/09/brownie-girls.html"><span style="color:#330000;">BROWNIE</span></a>~ <a href="http://www.girlscoutshop.com/gsusaonline/GSProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=ART+TO+WEAR+BROWNIE+TRY-IT"><span style="color:#ff0000;">ART TO WEAR</span></a> Try-it<br />(under the supervision of GS Leaders, Lisa- Kristi- & Novia and volunteer, Pilar)<br /><a href="http://londongirlscoutsrocks.blogspot.com/2010/09/junior-girls.html"><span style="color:#006600;">JUNIOR</span></a>~ <a href="http://www.girlscoutshop.com/gsusaonline/GSProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=PRINTS+%26+GRAPHICS+JUNIOR+BADGE"><span style="color:#ff0000;">PRINTS AND GRAPHICS</span></a> Badge<br />(under the supervision of GS Leader, Stephanie and volunteer, Holly)<br /><br />Once our projects and activities were completed, we all got back together and sang a couple songs then closed our meeting with each level forming a "Friendship Circle".Girl Scouts Rock!http://www.blogger.com/profile/12201838250099082842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010493943564975152.post-38926276210286847152010-09-22T13:53:00.001-05:002010-09-25T09:59:14.800-05:00JUNIOR GIRLS... our group of 11 Junior Girl Scouts began working on their "<a href="http://www.girlscoutshop.com/gsusaonline/GSProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=PRINTS+%26+GRAPHICS+JUNIOR+BADGE"><span style="color:#ff0000;">PRINTS & GRAPHICS</span></a>" badge during this troop meeting. Co-leader, Stephanie, with the help of mom volunteer, Holly, led the girls on card making and stamping. They had a variety of items to experiment with including raw potatos amidst the scissors , pens, rubber stamps, a variety of embelishments, etc.<br /><br />Since it was Co-leader, Teri's Birthday on the day of the troop meeting, some of the girls made Birthday cards for her.

GS Leaders typed up sections of the Promise in large print and randomly gave them to the girls all mixed up. Based on their memory the girls were to put the word segments in the correct order to spell out the Girl Scout Promise. The first time we did this game, the girls laid the words across the floor to make the Promise; the second time, they wanted to stand in a line holding their signs. (great photo op!)<br /><br />We played the game a couple times and the girls worked very well as a team. As leaders we are so proud of these girls for all working hard at home to learn the GS Promise. <p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519841233464494690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVcI1y7sDeeC2OROaBCjyj69mlFyOcOih6pReDKfrtxW71-GIa-h5yKwEzHdtj_aQ2inoBEMICe5GldOB5FVtgNNmJezu5fvni1D9xGSn4koV47VnYLQwGbSTm0nyh3Gj2o8tUv0Ic9w8/s400/IMG_7111.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519841242202570114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg43TfHu42TdpjcfIQA0JRXbcNfY07g3ual-W-1xKS1rhDeXU_AKQ9koKfMzPajROQT2DpEwUfNcAh6Z_EgoiNGnQJEBHz62mK1NmpPunCG1Vo6hqoqKHxJhxY2h7Eo8kl_7dDbMQi4wYk/s400/IMG_7112.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519841252031915074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 340px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWQ4-yU1Ibzv6-t059o627X5aC5riBOW10_Uvj-8mIy7x8F9lWsXlGRcnsegVasX_pK3V3bRyYN2Yk__zWOIb0HxMd90tQJUCFOb0nql1weB8RMLwuiksIq2SL1rN7S-5PtqBINlzH3iA/s400/IMG_7113.JPG" border="0" /> <div></div>Girl Scouts Rock!http://www.blogger.com/profile/12201838250099082842noreply@blogger.com0
