[Leaders] Cookies

One thing that would have been mentioned at the leader meeting is cookie orders.  We are doing great this year, I only had to chase one or two troops to get their orders.

Susan still needs a couple volunteers in the afternoon to help with cookie pickup.  If you can help, please let her know!

Also a few troops still need to sign up for times to pickup cookies--please see the message from Susan below, and if your troop is on the list please have your cookie person contact Susan for a time slot (contact information is at the bottom).

Thanks

The following troops still need to sign up for cookie pick up.

 2731 3154 3366 3540 3548 3725 4095 4200 4220

If a troop doesn't sign up for a cookie pick up time, their cookie order may not be sorted when they arrive without a time.   Also, if they don't have a time, I don't know that they KNOW to pick up, and their cookies will be donated to the fire department as there is unfortunately no room to store the cookies.

Thanks

Susan

Subject: Cake Wars Reminders

For all participants of cake Wars, Tomorrow is the big day!  From 1-3pm, at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin MarySchool Gym in Belmont.   Scouts and their guys will decorate cakes with the theme of 100 Years of Girl Scouting.  Cakes, icing, icing bags and tips, cake boards, and some sprinkles are all included.  Girls may bring accessories to decorate their cakes or their own supplies, like tips, spreader spatulas, etc.

Moms may come observe and cheer on the teams at 1:30.  This will allow for enough time to get registration completed and let the contestants get started!  In fact, if participants arrive a few minutes early, we will register them and this will help us stay on schedule.  Judging will begin around 2:00.

Don't forget to have the Girl Health History forms and Parent Permission forms filled out.  Health History Forms for the adult males will not be needed for this event.

See you Saturday!

[Leaders] March 12th Leader's Meeting - 100th Anniversary

Hello Leaders -

On March 12, 1912, Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, for the first Girl Scout meeting.  Since then, Girl Scouts has grown into the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. 

 

As we approach our 100th Anniversary, we would like to recognize and celebrate this milestone with you at our next Leader's meeting on Monday, March 12th.

 

Let's share our memories of our own scouting days with each other.  Bring your memorabilia and/or memories to the meeting; old handbooks, photos, uniforms, camp crafts, fun memories - whatever you have - bring it all.   A Show & Tell will be held after the business meeting.   

 

Come and enjoy some fun history - and a few cookies too.

 

** Girls are welcome to come and join the fun (probably around 8pm).  This should fulfills one of the requirements for earning the 100th Anniversary Patch. 

 

 ** Information for your troop to earn the 100th Anniversary Patch will also be available at the meeting.

 

Hope to see you soon!

[Leaders] campout

Attached are the registration forms.  At this point we have lots of space so I am not concerned about the parent to child ratios being kept.  Please let me know if you haven’t sent the registration forms in but plan to.  Trying to get a good feel for how many we will have attending.

 

Excel spreadsheet has two tabs.

 

Great facility, staff and food.  Description of camp activities attached as well.

[leaders] South Manitou Trip for girls entering the 6th grade Fall 2012

Hello Leaders,

I am sending this note to everyone via the mass leader listings. this is for the older girl, but please review the information. Sarah and Lynn will give your scout a good camping experience.

  

Where: South Manitou Island Backpacking Trip,

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan

 

When:  Friday, July 13^th to Sun, July 15^th, 2012

Who: Rockford Girl Scouts – 6^th grade and Older

This trip is open to both troops or individual girls (and some parents – space may be limited).

How much: $85 per each (girls & adults) covers transportation by car and ferry, site rentals, permits, food and supplies for the group.

Payment Schedule: Full payment may be made at anytime

Monday, May 14^th  $40   and    Monday, June 18^th    $45

 

This trip is a great chance to learn about backpacking the easy way, so give it a try and find out that it is not nearly as hard as you might think.  It's also a great way to have fun and to explore a beautiful and under populated part of Michigan.

 

We'll leave from Rockford early on Friday, July 13^th and travel to Leland to catch the ferry boat to South Manitou.   From the dock, it's only a 1½ mile hike to our campsite. We'll explore the island until we're ready to leave on Sunday, July 15^th, arriving back in Rockford by 10:30 pm

 

Mandatory meeting for girls and adults – Thursday, May 10^th             

7:00pm - 8:00 pm at Sarah Ek's house;  7697 Honeysuckle Lane

Please RSVP for this meeting at theekx@sbcglobal.net or 874-6032 evenings.

* Even if you've already decided you want to go, or you just can't make up your mind if this is the trip for you, we want to meet with you to talk about what to expect, packing lists and answer any questions.
