OUR NEXT MEETING PLAN

It has been a slow start and chaotic this year. Between finding days that all girls can meet, the school football schedule and my work schedule we haven't had as many meetings as I would like. So our next meeting in a couple of weeks, we will have alot to cover.

First up will be a short parent meeting to complete the health forms, contact info, dues requirements, etc.
I will also have everyone read and sign the code of conduct, adults and girls!

We will be choosing and explaining troop government. I did this last year with half the girls so the other half will have the opportunity to have a position this year.

We will also vote on badges, service projects and trips for 2012. To keep it simple we will plan for 2013 in December or January.

My plan is to do a service project, badge work, crafts and a trip each month.

October:
Service project: collect and distribute personal hygiene items for the VA Hospital here or prepare Operation Shoeboxes to send in November.

Badge: Budgeting/Money and NO BULLIES

Trip: Dance and Girls Fun Run

Crafts: decorate small clipboards and  tile necklaces. These I already have in our craft stock.

November:
Service Project: Food Drive for local pantry. This is a all service unit event.

Badges: Cooking (at the girls request MORE COOKING)

Trip: Camp Noark Work Day

Craft: I will have to come up with something for Thanksgiving and cooking

December:

Service project: Random Acts of Kindness- This will be something done individually, I will give them the tools and encouragement and they can roll with it.

Badges: Girls Choice or First Aide

Trip: Possibly a Christmas drive to look at lights / Girls Pick

Craft: Gifts for family, thinking salt scrub

Now if we can just pull it off!! :)

FUN MEETINGS

Our last meeting we made duct tape wallets. I found this idea from the Michaels.com


Ours didn't turn out quite like this. The girls decided they were more of a Clutch.

I took 1 sheet of felt and covered it with duck tape overlapping each side.
Turn it over and fold up half way
duck tape each side closed
cut the top to form a V
tape all edges
folder over the top
add velcro closure to top and bottom

when open you will have a felt covered pocket for money or whatever.
Some of the girls did patterns with different tapes and they also did the tops different.

They love the crafts.

Next meeting will be a parent meeting planning and preparing for the next few months.
