Cookie Meeting

Yay - we were able to meet, have our cookie training, go over information for the Atlanta trip, and enjoy our Christmas party.

Boy, trying to "train" parents is so much more difficult than working with the girls. They totally wouldn't shut up. With the girls, the quiet sign always works. Not so with the parents.

My sister bought me a megaphone as a joke for Christmas. I think the next time I have to deal with parents, I might use it!

No School, No Scouts - again

Dec 14th - this was supposed to be our Cookie training and Christmas Party. We have decided to schedule it for Dec 21st. (Our original calendar did not include a meeting on this date.)

We'll see if the weather cooperates.

No School, No Scouts

Our meeting this week is canceled due to inclement weather.

Journeys

I was talking last night with my girls about the Journeys, and the idea of doing it as a workshop. I pointed out that if we did them during the meetings, it will take pretty much all the meetings that are left.

They still decided they'd rather do it at meetings. Some of them are not able to do weekend workshops, and the rest seemed to prefer the idea of not being too overwhelmed with the Journey.

So in January, we will be taking some Journeys...

more Paperworks

This evening was mostly a catch up - we redid the TP and money origami, and any girl who hadn't done pictures yet had a chance to do that.

Our new activity was making a journal out of paper to give to someone going on a Wider Op. Since my troop is planning a trip to Atlanta this year, I had the girls make a huge pile of journals to give to the whole group. It was pretty basic - paper folded in half, with a construction paper cover, sewn with a basting stitch down the middle.

We need to make paper, and design greeting cards, and then come up with a smart goal, and that will take care of our Paperworks badge - easy and fun.

Our next meeting is our cookie training...
