Secretary Update - 12/03/08

We picked our secret Santa' names. You must make a handmade gift. Don't forget to bring it to the next meeting.

New Officers; Who ever did not have a job/position for the last 6 weeks wrote their names on a piece of paper under the job they would like to do for the next 6 weeks. At the next meeting they will give a short speech about why they should be chosen for their position. We will vote after the speeches.

Next we played the game SWAP. We then evaluated the game for a badge. Overall we liked the game but did not think it was good for a group of 10 like the instructions said.

Secretary Update

Hi everybody,
Hope you have had a great week off of school. At our last meet we discussed what type of badge everyone wanted to work on over the month. For those not there we made a decision as a group to work on the Visual Arts Badge.

Let's have a nice year.
P.S. We have a meeting on the 15th of October at 7:30pm. Don't forget to bring your dues of $2.

Official Troop Meeting Time

The votes are in, and we will be moving our meeting time to 7:30-8:30pm. The dates remain the same, but we'll meet from 7:30-8:30 so those that have class will be able to join us a little late and still enjoy most of the meeting. But it will also mean that the meetings will end promptly at 8:30 and all girls will need to be picked up no later than 8:30pm.

Thanks and we'll see ya next Wednesday!
-Miss Amy

We Survived Camp Dearborn!

We all made it back safe and sound from Camp Dearborn! I want to thank all the girls for being on their best behavior. We had a lot of fun and hopefully we can do this again soon.

We held elections for our troop leadership this weekend. Here's how the voting went.

President: Mary Charara
Vice President: Chloe Haag
Treasurer: Cailin Haggerty
Secretary: Chloe Palajac

We will switch leadership so that all the girls get a chance to serve in a leadership position. :)

I also want to thank all the girls for all their hard work getting the camp cleaned up! We will be having a s'mores night at the Chararas' house one night very soon.

Pictures will be up soon! See you on Sept. 17th! I will bring the snack (all the leftovers from camping!).

Hello Girl Scouts, 

This year we are making a move to be better organized!  Much like the teachers at Bryant, Miss Amy & I will be keeping a blog to keep everyone informed about Troop meetings & events.  

We are urging the girls to step up the responsibility this year.  It will be their responsibility to check our blog BEFORE meetings to make sure they are prepared for the meeting.  It will also help clear up any confusion to meeting times and locations.

Welcome to a new year!
