The Caper Chart

I don't think anyone would have a bad day if they had to look at this every morning. I just couldn't contain myself after Theresa showed me the finished chart. I copied the format from another troop and customized it with our girls. This chart is used at every meeting. Everyone has a special job to keep our meeting flowing. The girls will be rotated each meeting and get to take on important responsiblities like attendance, flag leader, etc.

We briefly went over the formalities of a GS mtg. Next mtg. we will practice the traditional flag ceremony and the GS promise once again, so keep them practicing. Most of the troop fees and GS store supply items have been paid by you all, but if you didn't please do so at the next meeting.

All of the nut/magazine packets have been sent home. And surprise, surprise they want to go to Build-A-Bear with their profits. This goal will require each girl to sell about 30 items. That's nuts and/or magazines combined. If you choose to sell at your place of work, please have your daughter draw a picture, or take a picture of them in uniform to display with their sales order form. They should remember that we are working towards a goal as a troop and be proud. Although nuts and magazines are not that well-known to be sold by GS, we make a much better profit from them. They make great teacher and hostess gifts for the holidays. Please remember although they may be excited, sales do not start until Oct. 1....GS honor!

The Halloween Party has been set on Friday, Oct. 26 at 5:45 pm. It is a local event and I will give the location at our next mtg. FYI (It is GS policy that I do not give location of any events or display names w/ picture of any person affiliated with GS as a safety precaution on a website) Cost is $7 per girl and include snack, a patch, and lots of games! I need this payment by Oct. 4. We have to register as a troop for this event.

And remember our next meeting is THURSDAY, Oct. 4.

Sorry for the inconvience, I have to pack up girls for Fall Camporee with my older girl troop.

Our First Meeting

I can't tell you how much fun we all had on friday! Between the smiles and giggles we even managed to get all our goals accomplished in our first meeting. The excitement was buzzing from activity to activity. I think they loved doing the closing circle activity the most. They learned how to do the "brownie squeeze". We've got more in store for our next meeting. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!

This blog will be for our new brownie troop established September 2007. You will be hearing from myself as well as the other co-leaders, Theresa and Joanna. Talk to you soon!!
