Our Girls did great at Thinking Day

We had 10 out of our 13 present for Thinking Day. They had a lot of fun. Got some cool swaps, ate some food from different countries, learned a few things about other countries, and ran into some friends from school.
They did well with their Spanish words (Peru is Spanish Speaking).
The cookies were a hit as well as their swaps they made.

I am very proud of them.

Thinking Day is upon us

Feb 26, 2011 @ 1030am
Where white shirt and blue (navy Pants)
Bring your cookies if you made them. (please make them).
Emily is making the flag. I have the posters we already made.
Bring your dimes to go by other troop tables.
Bring your permission slip (can't stay without it)

Maggie I have your cookies you ordered.

Great meeting today Got a lot accomplished

First some reminders:
Scouts should be coming home with some permission slips (these must be signed to participate in the activities)
1) Fire dept visit (March 12, 2011)
2) Thinking Day (Feb 26, 2011)
3) cookie booth (any of them)

I will also be giving them another permission slip for our meeting on March 6 the location has changed to the Snellville PD on Wisteria. The office that was coming to speak with the girls invited us to tour the new station. I thought this would be a good treat and learning experience for the girls

Thinking Day is coming up Saturday:
Girls need to wear white shirts and blue pants (Peruvian)
If possible make the Peruvian cookies for Swaps)
Emily is making our flag

We will meet at the end of thinking day to set up our PD permission slips.

The girls decided today that they want to go camping again. I will work the details out ( softball season has started so I need to check on which weekends will work for all).

The girls decided that they want to go to vests instead of sashes. So this is what we are going to do. As a scout Bridges or flys (I hope both) up to the next level they will go to the VESTS. So in June, Sydney, Maggie, and Lila will be moving on to Juniors they will get junior vests instead of sashes. As we move along they will all fly up to the next level and go to vests. The Fly up Ceremony is scheduled for The first Sunday in June. You will love what they are planning so mark your calendars for this wonderful ceremony. All scouts will be participating in our final ceremony and awards.

Have a great week and see all my Peruvian Girl Guides on Saturday.

Juniors only

Calling all Girl Scouts, Juniors and Above!!!

Studio B, a division of International Sugar Art Collection by Chef Nicholas Lodge, is excited to present Camp Cupcake for Junior level and above Girl Scouts!  This is an exciting class, where each girl will learn professional techniques, like you have seen on Food Network shows, to decorate 6 different cupcakes.

During your class, you will learn techniques that include:  Using a piping bag and star tip with buttercream icing, making chocolate decorations, & using rolled fondant (an edible, moldable icing).  You will participate hands-on in this class, and will be provided with all the supplies needed to complete these 6 fun and exciting cupcakes. 

And, at the end of the class, you will have learned great cake decorating techniques, have had a great time, and you will receive a camp cupcake fun patch!  Also at the end of the class, Junior level scouts will have earned their Doing Hobbies badge!

You will be taught by Molly Weathers, a Girl Scout leader and cake enthusiast, and Emily Segars, a professional cake decorator, and assistant to Chef Nicholas Lodge.

Studio B is located in Norcross, GA.  We are off of Jimmy Carter Blvd., across the street from the Varsity.  Seating is limited, so call us today to book your spot! We are excited to present this class to all Girl Scout's in Georgia, and we look forward to seeing you!
