Cookies are here!

We did some cookie selling! Six girls went door-to-door and sold a case and a half - well done! Everybody else took home at least one case (if you didn't, because for some reason you left early or you weren't here, please see Captain or Firefly or Poppy to make sure you get your case).

We also had a chance to do some outdoor activity - good for the bones and for keeping fit and healthy as Spring rolls around.

Next week we'll be finishing our sewing projects. Remember to work on any badges you might be missing in order to get your squares!

Don't forget to bring back your camp forms! They must be in with the money by next week to guarantee your spot.

Working on our Needlework Badge

We had badge testing (congratulations to all the girls who earned badges) and we worked on sewing a bag for crests and traders. Each girl had a choice of pink, purple, or blue fabric, with matching thread. Once the girl had the pattern, she sewed her seams and turned the bag inside out. Then she ran a cord through the top for a drawstring and sewed a button on the outside (to prove that she knows how to sew on a button.)

Nobody is quite finished her bag, so we will be finishing this badge next meeting. Remember that next week is March Break, so we will meet again Monday March 23rd.

Program, program.....

Working on the You and Others section today....we did some Communication exercises, some work on Being Prepared for various possible problems, and played some active games.

Next week we are having badge testing. This would be a great opportunity to get some of those badges we can't really do as a group - like skiing/snowboarding! (I know, we COULD, but the paperwork would be a bit crazymaking. Better for you to do it with your family if you can.) We'll also be doing some sewing.
