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!! :)
