Great First Meeting

What a great first meeting.....
I am so happy to see everyone back and excited about scouts.

Couple of things to add to your list of things we will be doing this year.

October 19-21 Camping at Camp TimberRidge with your MOM (yes, this includes Gretchen, Ginger Shauna, and a few other moms who are not used to camping. All moms are invited to have a mother daughter weekend at camp. Pending approval from Counsel.

1. hiking
2. girls will cook
3. singing
4. crafts
5. to name a few

This is a option on our camping in Sept.
The Saturday is Girl Scout day at the ZOO. So my thoughts are we can camp out Friday night, Sat we get up and head to the zoo then come back and camp out Saturday

If this sounds like a plan each girl will need to bring 10 dollars to the Sept meeting for the zoo. Must also have your uniform shirt and vest for the zoo. (I see a Zoo patch coming) lets go learn about the animals.

Reminders:
5 dollars for your service unit dues
1 dollar dues at each meeting

Photos from our Bronze Project

By the way the yard we worked on for our Bronze is fantastic and Mystie loves it. She is doing alright but is now wheelchair bound.

Fantastic Today

I can't express in words how fantastic these girls were today. They worked very, very hard and made a beautiful yard for a little boy who is going to grow up without his mother. They cleaned up all the brush that was around to start with, filled a huge dumpster with brush and trees. Built a fire pit that was donated by Carole Hicks (Friend of Mistye's and as well as mine), The pizza for lunch today was donated by Mrs. and Mr. Hicks Carole and Bryan's parents). Bryan Hicks is my old Assistant Principal and now principal of Monroe Area High School.

The girls are tired, dirty, and a bit irratable but what they accomplished is truly amazing. They all got to meet Wyatt the little boy (he will be two in August), they gave his some birthday cake. (by the way thank you to Courtnee's mom Amanda for brining a cake and thank you for all the birthday wishes.

I have not know another troop to complete such a huge project for their Bronze awards (Juniors) Brownies will have badges for their work. I am blessed to be part of such a great troop.

I will post photos on showme.com and attach the link here shortly.
 Below are the Thinking Day photos Thank you to Mrs. Reed (Courtnee's Mom)

Actually you can go to Showme.com/jreid  and the video will be there by later tonight.

Up date on June 2nd project

We have just got 2 teenagers and 2 more adults to help. We got a bunch of landscape timbers donated The bricks for the fire pit are also being donated. We are on our way to a great day. I have paint for the inside of the play house as well. If you need gloves here is the best place to get them. Ace hardware they have 1.99 gloves pink but you get 1.99 mail in rebate Can't beat it New update: Lowes sold us 25 bags of mulch for 10 cents a piece. Can't beat it. Syd and gabby made a thank you card, so make sure you sign it. Your bronze awards will be well earned. This material is already at Meadors house I took it up yesterday.
