Learning The Girl Scout Ways

Lily made Katie feel welcome.

Because the Brownie girls have such an eagerness to learn we are able to accomplish great things at our meetings. At last week's meeting we welcomed both Faith and Katie to our troop. They jumped right in to face painting with the girls and made new friends. They all had fun getting to know each other and learn some things about each other.

After our flag ceremony, Lindy proudly shared her crafting hobby with everyone. She showed us her itty bitty paper dolls, yard dolls, pom pom critters, and art class creations. Being we are such a crafty group everyone appreciated her ideas and hard work.




We headed over to Mrs. Smith's house with some cards and a planter. She has been feeling tired which is to be expected at 92! But we thought that we could bring her some smiles to cheer her up and it was just what she needed! She was waiting to share her hobby with us (and I did not plan that!). She crochets dolls and had a basket of them to share with the girls. They loved seeing them as much as she loved sharing them. We sang some songs and chatted and truly brightened her day.






When we returned to our meeting it was time for smores! I think it is great that making and eating smores is a requirement to earning a try it! Thank you Kyle for providing a fire for us. We enjoyed roasting or in some cases burning our marshmallows. Another requirement was to stitch our sit upon together but we ran out of time and now everyone has Brownie homework.

To finish our afternoon off we released our families butterflies. This was a huge hit especially for the siblings. It was the perfect ending to a great meeting.












Laura and I like our marshmallows the same way, burnt!

So much accomplished in a short time but most of all we were able to spread some good cheer and let Mrs. Smith know that we really care about her. Great work girls, you are a special bunch!
