The girls heard from a Junior Girl Scout and Bowman alumna who are putting the lines "considerate and caring" (from the Girl Scout Law) into action through the One Warm Coat http://www.onewarmcoat.org and Rows for Refugees http://rowsforrefugees.blogspot.com/ initiatives. If any questions come up regarding the Rows for Refugees discussion please feel free to contact me--difficult discussions and a difficult situation.
Troop 60963 Brownies put these words into action themselves by bringing in donations to the Ecumenical Hunger Program http://www.ehpcares.org, THANK YOU TO ALL. We didn't discuss how these good are going to be used and by whom today but we will have a guest speaker from EHP at a January meeting to explain.
Girls then broke out into Daisy- and Brownie-centered activities. Daisies dissected the lines of the Girl Scout promise and law--part of beginning their journey. They also completed some crafts concerning the environment--a result was a Girl Scout bird bath!
Brownies created a mural focusing on "needs"and "wants". Our parent helper today did a fantastic, pinch-hit, job of leading the girls through a pretend scenario of budgeting a Girl Scout outing. The Brownies are asked the work with pretend or real budgets when shopping for groceries, gifts, or school supplies over the next month. Again, please feel free to ask me any questions. This can be completed before our next meeting on January 8 and will be an important step towards earning the Money Management badge.
Whew! The Brownies also learned three, new songs of their choosing! Below are the lyrics if the girls want to practice. Kristin and I will send out an email earlier in January regarding our schedule for the next few months. Lots of optional outings are planned! Happy 2016.
Jump, Jump, Jump
Jump, jump, jump! Jump over the moon.
Jump all of the morning, and jump all of the noon.
Jump, jump, jump! Jump over a star.
Choose one that is twinkling, and not so very far.
Jump, jump, jump! Jump over the sea.
Jump over the dry land, and jump over me!
The Fairy Ship
A ship, a ship a sailing, a sailing on the sea
And it was deeply laden with pretty things for me.
There were raisins in the cabin and almond in the hold
The sails were made of satin, and the mast it was of gold.
The four-and-twenty sailors that stood between the decks
Were four-and-twenty white mice, with rings about their necks.
The captain was a duck, a duck with a jacket on his back
And when this fairy ship set sail, the captain he said "quack!"
Christmas Is Coming
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat!
Please put a penny in the old man's hat (twice)
