Nov. 12th and 13th the 3 day walk administration has asked for troops to bring supplies to support the walkers. In our meeting, we will make cards and signs, but we can also plan on being there one of the days to cheer these walkers on!
Ideas for what to bring are the following for the walkers; water bottles, popsicles, hard candy, spray bottles for misting the walkers, plastic bags for trash (walkers will really appreciate the option to throw away candy wrappers, water bottles, etc.). Be creative but be mindful of the fact that walkers cannot carry a lot of items.
•You can display banners and/or posters in support of the walkers or display your troop information.
•Girl Scout Breast Cancer TShirts will be available at the Council Shop in October.
A fellow troop leader and friend from high school is walking! If you would like to donate, please click here. She could use any amount of help since they need to raise $2000 to even walk the 60 miles! :)
Thank you!
More details soon! :)

Blankets!
The girls worked hard today tying blankets...we were glad to have extra help today...it was needed ;)
I forgot to take a photo of all of them! They did a great job!
They did page 50 in their workbooks. They have some homework to do...
Homework due 10/5: They should have a star paper that is double sided that you can fill out as a family. Let me know if your girl does not have one and I can get you one or you can just draw a star on any paper. Turn to page 51 in their book as a guide for what to put in the star. No need to get super fancy...this is just something they can do with you to bring back to share at the next meeting.
We have almost completed the 3 keys to getting their first patch!
1. They discovered their talents
2. They discovered the values of the girl scout law
3. They will discover their family talents and values in this project
They need to bring their completed star and books to the next meeting (Oct. 5th)
Gally is the next snack helper!
Miss Mayberry went home with Skye today...thank you Skye for snack!
*Reminder for snacks...please be mindful in chosing what you send for snack. Fruits, veggies and cheese are the best choices. Sugar makes the girls a bit hyper as well as we are trying to set a good example for healthy eating. Something with 10-11 grams of sugar does not seem too high when you compare to a Capri Sun drink that has 20 grams of sugar, but really the snacks with 10 grams of sugar may have 8-10 TEASPOONS of sugar in it. That is the maximum daily amount anyone should have. Add that to the sugary pizza sauce the kids may have on pizza Wed. and the kids are on a sugar roller coaster. Hopping off the soap box now...we just want to set a good example for the girls. :)
If you are wanting to send a healthy snack and it needs refrigeration, Tisha or I would be happy to take it the night before and bring it the day of our meeting.
Thank you for all you do!!!
Enjoy reading about the Girl Scout Law and creating your stars.

Build-A-Bear!!
Just a reminder that we have a Build-A-Bear field trip tomorrow at 10:30am. Please be about 5 minutes early so we are ready to go when they call us in since we have so many coming.
Meet at the entrance of the store located in Arrowhead Mall, lower level near east side of the mall.
No food or drinks are allowed in the store.
Please bring cash or check if your child will want to spend more than the $12 allowed. For $10-$12 they can choose from 2-3 bears or a chocolate colored dog. Most of the other animals are around $18-$25 if you think your child will want to upgrade.
This is a team building event to let the girls make their own bear like Miss Mayberry that visits our snack helpers. They will get a girl scout patch for their friend and themselves. There will be lots of fun and friendship from this adventure!
See you then!
My cell number is 602-751-6812 if you need to get ahold of me.

Family Fun Night
At the zoo!!!
We are planning a ...family adventure at the zoo after hours! This memorable experience includes a guided trail hike, a private train tour, animal encounters, activities, a late night snack and night camp souvenir. Camp ends at about 10 pm, making it perfect for younger or older campers who prefer to sleep in their own beds!
Ages 5 and up (all children must be accompanied by an adult)
Non-member Price: $40.00
Members Price: $35.00
Dates open:
October 22
November 19
December 17*
January 7*
February 18
March 24
April 14
We need are deciding on the date now, but need to ask if you want this to be a girl scout funded trip (for the girls) or if each family should be in charge of covering the cost of their girl.
If all 18 went, it would cost our troop around $720.
We will be taking a vote soon.
Thank you!
Shannon

Good news!!
The 6th grader at Norterra battling cancer has been cleared of cancer in her scans today!! She is cancer free!!!! Thought I should share because so many of you donated to their family.
They can still use meals and cash cards or money donations to off set the medical expenses from this long journey, so here is the food tiding link one more time.
Thank you Girl Scouts for all you have done for the Raab Family!!!
Go Alysha!!

Great job!
The girls did a great job today!! I think we are off to a great start. We went over their talents and specials qualities that they bring to the troop and they had some great answers.
They got their insignia tabs with the Girl Scout membership pin. The WAAGS pin from their Daisy tab should be put on this vest now above the Brownie pin.
They also got their new books. Please have them bring these books to each meeting.
Next meeting we will be talking more about their talents and also their families. This year we hope to have more discussions, earn the key patches to changing their world and lots of Try-it badges!
Thank you to Lauren for snack! Skye is up next!
We brainstormed healthy snack ideas and this is what they all came up with...
Oranges, sun chips, apples, strawberries,frozen grapes, bananas, blueberries, carrots, Hummus and pitas, veggies, ants on a log with cream cheese, cheese and crackers, kiwi, spinach, bagels and cream cheese, watermelon, cucumbers, fruits, veggies, rice cakes, sandwiches, and pita pizzas! Smart girls!
I found this blog this summer and it has really helped me to understand eating healthier. She is a bit of an extremist, but I use a lot of her recipes...coconut flour is one of my new favorites.
Do not forget the Build a Bear field trip September 17th at 10:30am.
See you all soon!
