Official Meeting Jan 8th-



The girls got to start working on their Cookies Count Badge. They made individual goals of 50 boxes each for the pre-sale and made pins to wear to the cookie rally to tell everyone their goals. They decided on the incentatives for the group if they sell certain amounts of cookies. If the girls sell at least one to 49 boxes each average they get to go on a picnic, if they sell 50-99 boxes each they get to go to golfland, if they sell 100-149 boxes they get to go to castle and coasters, and if they sell at least 150 they get to go to the Phoenix Zoo overnight camping. They went over saftey rules for selling cookies. Overall the girls are SUPER excited to go out and sell some cookies. Most seem to want to sell at least 165 so they can get the elephant and the zoo trip. We will see...

Brownies Go Caroling

Well for all the girls it was their first time ever caroling. Angela, Tia, Makaila, Tessa, Alyssa, Lindsey, Shelby and Nicole all came along. We went to a gated retirement community so the girls could walk along and sing carols and stop when someone came to listen. They had lots of fun and even earned a candy cane from one of the couples they sang too.

They had a snack and then colored the Girl Scout Law coloring book. They are so excited to be Brownies.

Heading to see the Nutcracker Ballet

LeeAnn, Mikaila, Lindsey, Alyssa, Tessa, Tia & Angela loaded into two cars and headed to see the Nutcracker Ballet. The girls enjoyed dressing up but not the long car ride. All though the show wasn’t a true rendition of the Nutcracker it was still very pretty and the kids enjoyed picking out their favorite performers. Afterwards the kids were starving so we stopped at Wendy’s for some happy meals.

Phoenix Zoo Trip

The Girls were exhausted after a very full day playing at the Zoo. Alyssa, Tessa, Tia, Lindsey, Angela & Makaila started the day off with Zoo Passports. They decided as a group that they wanted to visit the "How to interact with Wild Animal" Lecture. While they were waiting they did a quick sensory scavenger hunt. Next they saw a special show about stars. Then they were off to dye-tye t-shirts, make smores, and paper mache balloons which were going to be used to feed animals out of. Tired and hungry they headed for a huge lunch next to the lake. Rejuvenated they went to the last stop where they made bird feeders & planted a friendship flower. All that and animals too! Nobody was ready to leave and everyone had a lot of fun!
