Petsmart and Camp Day!

Petsmart was a great field trip! The girls got to take a tour around the store, pet cats, a dog or two, a guinea pig, a chinchilla and a bearded dragon. Super fun!

Camp day was really fun today as well! The girls were able to have chips and apples (thank you Alexis!), hotdogs, and smores in a bag! (Thank you cookie sales!)
They ate them in a tent (thank you Tisha and Gavin!) and then made sit-upons as their craft. (Thank you Kristine for cutting the squares out and a big thank you to Miss Donna for cutting all the fringe and tying the pillow sides last night!)
I think the girls had a great time and I appreciate all the helpers that are always there to clean up spills (lots of spills), fill plates, clean up, make copies, help with projects, pass out snacks, and everything else that goes on during the meetings. THANK YOU helpers!
I cannot believe the year is nearly over! We are planning for the April field trip. We will be going to paint pottery at As You Wish for the reward field trip from Cookie sales. Details soon! :)

Camp Day!

Tomorrow is our camp on campus day for our meeting. Should be lots of fun! :)

Smores in a Bag

Smores in a bag..yep...yum! :)

Petals and Patches

These are the petals....the girls should have all 10 now. The Widening Our Circle patch goes on the back of the vest.
Please let me know if you are still missing a petal by giving me the number...I will be passing them out at the next meeting on 3/30. The pink, rose, violet and magenta are confusing in color, so this will be easier.
The new patch will be given in 3 pieces and the first one will be given out 4/6.
Thank you to everyone for getting their money in on time!
We had a great first cookie sale!
Go troop 1460!

March fun!

March 26th at 10am is the pet tour at Petsmart

March 30th at 3:15pm is Camp day for our next meeting! Please let me know if you are joining us or bringing a sibling by March 26th so we have enough hotdogs and drinks for the camp out!
Each girl will make a sit-upon
We will have games, tents, food, and fun....can't wait! :)
Thank you for getting your money in for the cookies! We need all the money in by tomorrow(3/22) morning at 11am. I will be at Chase with Alyssa at 11:20am making the final deposit.
Thank you again for all of your efforts in making this a great cookie sale!

Respect Authority!

Today was a great day! The girls earned their last petal- magenta petal for respect authority.
We had 3 firemen come visit. They were so nice and gave lots of good information. Thank you station 56!
Also, a big thank you to Elliot's mom for making the yummy and beautiful cake for Girl Scouts birthday this month...100 years of girl scouts!
Tonight we also had a great time at Peter Piper Pizza with our sister troop! We have not received the total yet, but I think we made at least $150 for the two troops! Thank you to all who joined us!
The girls got to make their own pizza, a pizza maker patch, and certificate for completing the class.
March 26th at 10am is the Petsmart field trip.
Our next meeting is March 30th since there are conferences after Spring Break.
This will be such a fun meeting....we are camping on campus! Hotdogs and smores in a bag. Feel free to join us!
All cookie money needs to be in by March 20th at the latest.
You have all done a great job selling cookies and collecting the money. I will be gone all of Spring Break, but you can continue to give money to Alyssa and I will deposit when I return. If you can get the money in this Friday, even better! ;)
Have a great Spring Vacation!!

Important news for March!

March 9th will be a busy day! At the meeting, we have a firefighter or two coming by to talk to the girls about fire safety. They will earn the last daisy petal for respect authority! Also, Elliot's mom is making a special cake! So exciting!
That night at 6pm we will be heading to Peter Piper Pizza to celebrate girl scout's birthday with our sister 1st grade troop from Norterra.
If we have $200+ in sales, PPP will donate a portion to our troops! Also, the girl scouts get to make their own pizzas...how fun is that!
I will be getting some flyers from PPP on Friday to give out at the school.
Spread the word! I hope to see you all there!
Note: I will not be available to deposit money from March 12th-19th.
Please have any money needing to be deposited in by March 11th and then the final money deposit can be on the 20th if needed.
You all have done great with getting the money to Alyssa! Go troop 1460!
Last, some girls have been a tad more chatty and basically not following rules at times. Since we are nearing the end of the year, I do expect the girls to know how to act and treat others in meetings and at our outings. If a girl is asked more than 3 times in a meeting to follow our rules, they will have to earn the petal or patch with homework. Parents will need to sign off on how they earned the petal/patch before they are given the award. With such a large troop, a few girls not following along is really distracting. We will talk to the girls on Wed. before the firefighters arrive on the 9th to review our expectations.
They really are a great troop and I am sure they will all do great, but wanted you to have the heads up in case we have anyone that does not come home with their petal.
Thank you!
