Christmas FUN with Crafts~

For our December time together (one meeting this month), our troop- all three levels together-enjoyed an afternoon of Christmas crafts and earning some "fun patches". Two fun patches were earned by those who participated in this meeting. (see pictures of patches below)

To start, we had our delicious snack and juice- provided by Ella's mom, Amy.
Thank you AMY!!!

After snack, we opened our meeting with the Girl Scout Promise, followed by basic instructions of each craft project we would be doing:

• Decorating Gingerbread Houses (actually graham cracker houses we pre-assembled to have them all ready for the girls to decorate)


• Making a Jingle Bell Ornament (can go on a tree or as a gift topper)


• Painting the inside of a Glass Christmas Ball Ornament

By The Way, OUR PARENT VOLUNTEERS ARE THE BEST!
Thank you, everyone!!!

FUN PATCHES EARNED:

Girl Scout Challenge~

Over the next couple weeks, during this time of "giving gifts", your challenge is to give away gifts that cost you nothing (monetarily), but have huge value to those who receive them! Give away gifts of:

• Kindness (a smile, a friendly compliment, a helping hand...)
• Good Manners ( say please, thank you, may I, etc.)
• Love (heart felt and genuine)

Be creative in different ways you can "GIVE" to others this Christmas Season! Show what Girl Scouts are made of.
