The End of Another Brownie Year


We have had a wonderful Girl Scout Brownie year. The troop completed a total of 8 Try-Its. We went to the theater. We made new friends and kept the old.

Our last Brownie meeting was a swim party and our last field trip was at Coyote Point Museum, both this past weekend.

The girls all had a wonderful time. The field trip was very fun. I'm very proud of all our Brownies. They not only represented the Girl Scouts very well by being so well behaved, but they knew many answers to many questions at the talks from the staff. Good job girls!

We missed two of our Brownies who could not make these two last events. I highly recommend the Coyote Point Museum. It's a wonderful place with lots to do besides the museum.

There were just too many images to post here on the blog. Please go to the Brownie Pool Party & Field Trip web gallery for all the fun images from this weekend.


NOTE: If you have any images you would like to share with the troop, please get them to one of the leaders and we will be happy to post them.

Mother's Day Box Social

Two girls from our troop were able to attend the annual Mother's Day Box Social with their moms. The day is spent making a gift for mom, tissue paper flowers, and a picnic box or basket lunch, and other Girl Scout traditions. There was even a talent portion. It was a beautiful day to spend with mom.



Our Brownies Go To The Theater

From the sales of their nut money the girls earned a trip to the theater. They saw a fabulous musical, Disney's When You Wish. Here are a few pictures from one show. We had to split the troop up to go. It was a wonderful treat to meet the actors after the show.



Try-It Activities

We have done some fun Try-It activities this year. Here are a few we have done since March.

For the My Body Try-It the girls made a life size "paper doll" of themselves. Tracing the girls caused many giggles. They had a great time coloring them and making them look like their paper twin.

For the Math Try-It we made a minute timer. We timed it and everything. Another fun project.

For the Science in Action Try-It we did balloon blowing without using our own breath. I think this was one of the best. We had a lot of fun watching the balloons grow from the chemical reaction. Very fun!

For the Science in Action Try-It we made weird glop. It was funny to touch once we put it in a plate. Another fun science project.

Brownie Birthday

In March we celebrated another Brownie birthday. The only birthday girl to blow out a candle in a piece of corn bread. She loved it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sending Out Get Well Cards

As you may have heard, back in March there was a Girl Scout Brownie Troop in the Bay Area that was selling Girl Scout cookies and some of the Brownies and moms were hit by a car. They were injured and hospitalized. This could have easily been our troop. You never know when something like this will happen.

Our troop wanted to send Get Well cards to the other troop. It was a wonderful feeling to watch the girls make there cards.

The next day we packed them all up and mailed them off. I'm sure their sister Girl Scout Brownies enjoyed getting their well wishes.



We hope the other troop is doing well and everyone has recovered.

(I'm a little behind. We did do this back in March.)

Brownie Birthday

I first need to apologize. We celebrated this sweet wonderful Brownie's birthday way back in November. I have no idea why I didn't post it back then. I'm sorry Miss K. But, better late than never...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
