This is the year that we are starting to put the girls in charge of their meetings. Part of Girl Scouting is achieving the confidence to be a leader. I will talk to the girls more about this on Friday. Your daughter will need to sign up for one snack time and one patch/fieldtrip.
1) snack time - bringing snack, set-up, serving and clean-up
- girls will be assigned in groups of 2
- snack should be healthy and not messy - and not need refrigeration
- your daughter will miss a portion of the meeting when she is on snack duty. I will make sure she is up-to-date on what she missed by the end of the meeting.
- I will add the girls names to the Google Calendar for the date they signed up for
- there are 3 series of patches we can work on in addition to the Journey patches:
- each girl brought home the "Badge Activity Set"
- Digital Photographer
- Staying Fit
- Musician
- Entertainment Technology
- Scribe
- there are Legacy Badges in the binders
- Drawing
- Practice with Purpose
- Inside Government
- Simple Meals
- Junior First Aid
- Junior Scout Way
- Flowers
- or there are "fun patches" that go on the backs of the vest/sash like (these patches have no requirements or guidelines - anything goes as long as it is related to the topic):
- Tea Party
- Ice Skating
- Make New Friends
- Fire Dept.
- Plant a Garden
- etc.
- you can expect that the girls will need to complete some of the work at home since our meeting time is so short
- Fieldtrips:
- there are several options that we can sign up for here - or you may suggest your own
- you coordinate the trip & make sure all participants are registered
- you also need to chaperone the trip and arrange for the appropriate number of chaperones based on number of girls registered (usually 3-4 girls to 1 chaperone)
