Girl Scout Soup recipe...perfect for the first meeting or redidication ceremony. Depending on your budget you can ask for each girl to bring an 'ingredient' for Girl Scout Soup, but don't give the recipe
away until the meeting hour.
An Alternate for nuts could be candy corn instead of nuts and changed the nutty to corny.
Bon Apetit!

Girl Scout Soup
Girl Scouts come in all colors, from cities and towns. Every Girl Scout's a sister, no matter what she looks like or how she sounds (add M&Ms)
Some of us are tall, and some of us are small. When we get together , size doesn't matter at all. (add pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows)
With our words and our actions, we show that we care. We try to do our best to be fair and square (add Chex cereal)
Sometimes we act a little nuts, we love to joke and play. We'd love to put a Girl Scout smile into everyone's day. (add nuts)
When we get together, we make circles so round. It's our never ending friendships to which we are bound (add Cheerios)
When we're planning and working we just don't stop. We keep ourselves busy, a;; around we pop (add popcorn)
We respect all creatures, if they're big or they're small. The earth is our home, and there is room here for all (add animal crackers)
It was 1912 when Juliette Low started us off. And like the girls back then, we are chips off the old block (add chocolate chips)
We get a kick out of learning and doing new things. And a kick out of helping others, and spending time with friends (add Kix cereal)
When we were Brownies we were fresh, new and rare. But now we are Juniors and have experience to share. (add raisins)
And now we stir to the left and stir to the right. We mix it together with all of our might. we welcome our troop to another great year. And hope the memories they made, they will always hold dear.

from Shannon M. Virginia Run Liaison:

i have an idea. i will be setting up a table at the school picnic this friday in order to recruit girls for scouts. i started daydreaming today while i was working out, that wouldn't it be cool if all the current scouts wore some sort of scout shirt, vest, hat, whatever to the school picnic friday night 5-7 pm ????? what if all of our current scouts wore scout gear??? i think it would be fun and inspiring for girls thinking of joining. PLEASE ASAP send an email out to your troop parents asking the daughters to wear any and all scout memorabilia !!! i will be decked out friday at the picnic as well as monday and tuesday night for BTS nights !!!! okay, thanks all, i will be in touch a lot after these three recruiting events!!! yours in scouting, shannon marshall

· I will be recruiting at our booth for Association 56. If you know of any volunteers (adult and/or teen) who will be cheerful and can talk about their positive Girl Scout experience, please send them my way. Even an hour would be great. Girls can earn Council hours. No pressure--if you can think of somebody who would be happy to do it, great! If your volunteers are overwhelmed, no need to email them.
