Our Founder's Birthday and the Halloween Dance Party

Today was our 2nd Girl Scout meeting and we accomplished so much while having a blast.  We worked on our Girl Scout Promise and started our Daisy petal review.  Today the girls talked about being honest and fair.  We also talked about the founder of Girl Scouts - Juliette Gordon Low.  She loved working with the Girl Scouts, had a lot of pets and traveled all over the world.  I introduced the girls to a good friend of mine named Sierra.  Sierra is a Cadette in the Girls Scouts and she will be working with our troop when she can with our projects.  The girls adore her already and she had a great time tonight.  After our discussion we had a Halloween snack and a costume dance party.  We ended the meeting with the Girl Scout handshake. 

Amy Sload from Princess Party, LLC donated gift bags to all of the girls in honor of Juliette Gordon Low's birthday (October 31st).  The girls LOVED them!  Her website can be found online at www.royalprincessparty.com

I learned a number of new dance moves today.  This Girl Scout is showing us all how to break dance.

Our First 2012 Meeting

Our first meeting was fantastic!  We were all very excited to see each other again and we talked about all of the fun things we are going to be doing this year with our two new journeys.  I am going to ask the girls to lead their own journey this year.  I'm going to give them different options each week and they will be able to pick their own activities throughout the year.  To finish the meeting we colored in Halloween masks.
