ABOUT OUR TRIP TO THE CORN MAZE.. I WANTED TO KNOW IF WE CAN MOVE IT TO THE SATURDAY PRIOR TO THE 30TH. I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT SOME SURGERY I AM HAVING WILL BE DONE ON THE 29TH AND I WILL BE RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL ON THE 30TH LATE IN THE DAY. TO LATE FOR ME TO GO WITH THE GIRLS. SO HAVE THE GIRLS COME PREPARED FOR US TO DISCUSS AND POSSIBLY MOVE THE DATE.

I HAVE ALSO PURCHASED TWO COMPASSES FOR THE DAY SO WE CAN WORK ON OUR DIRECTIONIAL SKILL. I CAN'T WAIT.

SUNDAY WE WILL WELCOME ALL THE NEW MEMBERS AND DO SOME COOL INTRODUCTIONS... DON'T FORGET TO LOOK AT THE KAPER CHART.......... ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE LEADING THE PROMISE

BE PREPARED

Talk about great news

We now have 9 girls signed up and 2 that are going to sign up. So I think we are on our way to becoming the best Scout troop in the service unit.

I hope you guys had as much fun as I had at our informal gathering on the 3rd.

Welcome Kasey to our soon to be troop she signed up today and Maggie who is about to sign up. So girls keep thinking about what you want to do. What badges you want to go for and remember what you signed up for on the Kaper chart (which I will post by this weekend).

If you have time before the 17th and want to start on your first badge come prepared on the 17th with this info.

1) WHERE ARE THEY TODAY?

past! There are Native people living all over the United States today. Most Native people live in homes like yours, wear clothes like yours, and go to school or work like you and your family do. However, the Cherokee and Muskogee Nations no longer exist in Georgia. Look at a map of Georgia that shows where they once  were. Find out why and how the People were forced to leave Georgia and where most Cherokee and Muskogee live today.

Native people did not just live in the long-ago

Troop ????

I am waiting on the approval of our assistant leader for us to become a formal troop. I have everyones paperwork and will send it to the counsel for approval and a troop number.

On the postive side I spoke with Corn Dawgs and we get a 2 dollar discount (so 10 dollars per person). I will give the complete details out on the 17th. This outing is planned for the 30th with the girls meeting at 10am. They need to bring a bag lunch and drink. I will have coolers in the car.

Corn Dawgs
I have a group rate of 10 dollars a person instead of 12...
Registration forms for the trip and details will be distributed on October 17, 2010 for both Corn Dawgs and the Indian Festival.

I will be working on discount tickets for the Indian Festival

What an awesome turn out of parents for the parent meeting.
The informal gathering occurred today from 2-4pm
Eight Scouts, two more that might join and two parents who are volunteering other then the leader to help run the troop.

What the girls accomplished today on their first day:

1. They decided on their uniforms, Sash's (Junior or Brownie, with tan pants, white shirt for juniors and light blue for Brownies). you can purchase the sash on Girls Scouts of Greater Atlanta web site or email me if you have any questions or want to jump in on my order. I do not have a problem ordering them all together (nymonk15@aol.com)
2. They constructed a Kaper chart for meetings from now till December (which I will post soon)
3. They worked on the Girl Scout Promise
4. Made posters for the Girls Scout Motto and the Girl Scout Slogan (to post in our meeting room)
5. We learned about the history of scouting
6. They decided they wanted to work on badges but take some trips too.
7. They voted for the trip to the Indian Festival at Stone Mountain to help with their Native badge (both Brownies and Juniors)
8. They also want to go to Corn Dawgs to celebrate the birthday of the founder of Girl Scouts J. Low. This is optional since the troop does not have any funds yet. I will check on the cost and see if we can get a special deal (October 30th)
9. Either Late November or Early Dec we will be having an award meeting to award the girls their pins for their uniforms. This will take place the last 30 minutes of the meeting if you wish to come and see them be honored as a scout.
10. They will receive their World pins on Thinking Day Feb 22, 2011 (You will receive an invite to see your child receive her pin)
11. They learned the Girl Scout handshake and the friendship ring.
12. Got some fun time on the playground....

From what Ms. Kim and I saw they had a blast. Below you will see in no particular order suggestions the girls listed while doing an exercise. Some are a little to adventurous and expensive but we will consider the more reasonable things to do to learn leadership and growth. The number stands for how many said it.
