Had a great night with our law enforcement friend, Officer Marshall! She went over what a police officer does, helped us figure out what’s an emergency and what’s not, how and when to call 911, how and who to ask for help, and what to do when we are lost. A special thanks to Northern York Area Regional Police and Officer Marshall for helping our girls earn their First Aid badge and teaching us so much!

We had so much fun tonight! I hope the girls are feeling the same way about our meeting. We earned the Girl Scout Way badge and learned all about the founder of Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low. We celebrated her birthday, with girl-decorated cupcakes, played a memory game, learned a new song or two, left our meeting place better than when we came, and brought home a swap kit to make at home. We jammed a lot of fun into our meeting tonight, and I am so impressed with the girls!

I am planning to order our supplies this week for our Investiture Ceremony, so if you haven't paid the October and/or November dues, please get them in as soon as possible. We are depending on these dues to fund badges, ceremonies, outings, materials, etc. until we start earning money through fundraising.

Thank you, parents, for all of your help! You guys are the best!

See you all tonight at Johnston Park Building (6-7:30pm). Please remember to bring any forms you still need to turn in, a water bottle for your child, and their green bag (with folder, sash, markers). Looking forward to a fun night!

Here is the link for the Trail Adventure Badge Day at Camp Happy Valley. We will likely need to leave by 7:45 am to get there by 9 am. The girls should pack a lunch, snack(s), and water bottle for the day. We currently have 4 adult volunteers going, and at least 10 girls. Alyssa and I can transport at least 6-7 girls each in our cars. Please let us know if you have any other questions. We are covering the cost of the girls, but adult volunteers will need to register and pay the $10. We will register by Monday at the latest and let you all know when we do.

This in-person badge day is for Daisies and Brownies who are interested in exploring the outdoors while earning their Trail Adventure badge! This Badge Day will be packed with hikes, trail runs, and learning about how to protect the nature while spending time in the great outdoors!

I have heard from half of you about Little Sister info, crest and badge voting, forms needed, and the Trail Adventure Badge Day RSVP. If you have not yet responded, please see my original email and get this information to me by Friday night. I will be registering the girls and registered parent volunteers, who would like to join us, this weekend. Please text or call with any questions! Thank you!!

FYI...I have created a venmo account. I am just waiting for the verification process to be complete. I will email everyone with the information once that is done. Thank you so much for your patience!

Also...how is fundraising going? Reminder: All in-person sales and money are due to me by Nov 7th, and on-line sales end on Nov. 10th. Let's try to make one last push for sales, as this will determine what all we are able to do with our troop this year.

I think I will send out Addison to our friends in the neighborhood this weekend, wearing her GS uniform. You could have girls go together with another GS friend (with parents, of course)!

FIRST BROWNIE MEETING TONIGHT! Woop woop! The time change has been confirmed, 6-7:30. Tonight we will begin work for our first badge (making friends) and the activities will also count towards our first “fun patch” as well! REMINDER:
- please bring the green folders you received at the parent meeting along with their sash and troop patches. The girls will return with their green Girl Scout bags along with folders inside.
- the routing/checking account numbers have not been confirmed via the troop bank account. Once that’s is done, the dues can be sent via Venmo. We will notify everyone via email once set up is complete.

Thanks everyone! We are asking for “masks up” tonight as well!

Parent poll:

We are going to need to change the time to an hour and hour for our meetings. This will give us a sufficient amount of time to complete our activities for badges.

So, the question is 6 -7:30 or 6:30 - 8? Please weigh in. Thanks!!
