Daisies... Brownies... Juniors... OH MY!Troop Meeting Overview~

We started our meeting by learning a new song "BOOM CHICKA BOOM" (Click here for lyrics)... co-leader, Teri, had a rough time remembering the start (mixing up her chicka' with her boom's), but quickly recovered, and the kids got the hang of the song and seemed to enjoy it once we got on a roll. After the song, we had PIZZA for Snack!...

Thank you Ms. Holly for bringing snack and drink this week! & thank you volunteer parents and leaders (Tammy, Mandy, Noemi, Lisa, Novia, Kristi, Pilar, Stephanie, Holly & Teri) for all your help during the snack and helping with the meeting.

After opening with the Girl Scout Promise, the girls broke into their separate levels to work on their different projects:

Daisy Girls: "Light Blue Petal" -Honest and fair

Brownie Girls: "Science in Action" Try-It

Junior Girls: "Prints and Graphics" Badge

We came back together to finish our troop meeting with our friendship circles.

Announcements:
The Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas is having our annual "Design a Holiday Card" Contest. All of our troop #9691 were given instructions and entry forms. The Daisy and Junior levels were able to work the project into their troop meeting. The Brownie girls will need to work on their submissions of their own if they choose to participate. Be sure to follow the guidelines outlined and have your entry in by the deadline date of OCT. 22! Please contact Teri if you have any further questions. (CLICK HERE for details)

Looking ahead~ we'll be doing a service project through "Operation Christmas Child" next month. Last year the girls' hearts were big and generous as they donated age ppropriate gifts and wrapped 10 different boxes for children less fortunate. Many of our returning girls communicated they wanted to do it again this year, so in mid November, we'll dedicate time for this project and "MAKE A DIFFERENCE" in the lives of others.

Christmas is approaching and we're still collecting small (square sized) cardboard cartons for a craft project. Our Girl Scouts may save their lunch cartons that their milk comes in; since these are smaller, we'll need two per Girl Scout for the project.
