We have a Service Unit Director, secretary, treasurer and website covered.
We are celebrating 100 years of girl scouts. There is a new disc that council is selling to go behind your stars for this year. They are 42 cents each or 12 for $5.00. If your troop is not bridging check out Council for supplies and instructions on lots of different ceremonies your girls can choose from the end the year and get their pins and other rewards.
Thank you Mandy Dickinson for helping out with the Thinking Day!
Cake Decorating Event went well. Mary from council did a Family Championship Presentation. There is a Daisy scout that left behind her prize in the bathroom. If that is one of your girls please let us know. There are extra patches so if one of your girls didn’t get one please advise.
Bridging will be May 24th at the Freshman Center Cafeteria. There is a stage in that space. Please arrive at 6:15 and the event will start at 6:30. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony.
Memorial Day Flags at Blyfield Cemetery takes place at 4:00. Volunteers do not need to register but need to have GS sash or vest on. Hotdogs served after placement which takes about 30-40 minutes.
All leaders please join us for our May 14th meeting at 6:30. All paperwork will be on hand to fill out for the end of the year. Forms will also be sent out about 2 weeks prior so you can review and start on the paperwork. Pizza dinner will be provided.
Shirts from the service unit will be available for purchase. Final details to come in the next few weeks. All troops can purchase. If you are marching in the start of summer parade on June 9th t-shirts are highly recommended. There is no training for this parade.
Stephani Sawicki did a presentation tonight on her Gold Award Project. She is building a learning library at a home for children who need a break from their home. She is looking for donations. Money to buy shelving material, paint, lamps etc. If you have floor pillows, posters, floor lamps you would like to donate please let her know. We will be collecting books for the library at our May 14th meeting. If you can please look around your house to see if you have some spare children’s books for the library and bring a few. You can also as a troop collect books as a service project and bring them to the May 14th meeting or contact Stephani for dropoff. Stephani’s email is stephani.sawicki@hotmail.com. Thank you for helping support her Gold Award Project.
GS Daycamp will take place from July 9 – 12. If you can volunteer for a day or even a few more please contact Beverly Dickinson or Sue Passarelli. The number of girls who can participate is based on the number of volunteers. Again many hands make light work. Tuesday night will be an overnight for the older girls attending. Details to follow. Nedra will be offering training again this year. Details to come.
Again please consider volunteering for the Day Camp and our service unit. Many hands make light work!
Have a good day!
