Bronze Awards....!

Our Juniors from last year, earned their Bronze Awards over the summer....!

The Bronze Award is one of the most distinguished awards in Girl Scouts.

The highest is Gold, then Silver, then Bronze.

In order to achieve this Award, Troop Leader Amanda first had them complete a Journey Badge.

After that, she talked with the Girls and asked who would want to take intiative and earn it.

They had to come up with a Service Project that was dear to their hearts. Something that they were interested in....and they came up with helping the local Animal Shelter.

Each of these Juniors, raised money throughout the year.

They then went together and purchased items for the shelter.

Another day, they went to deliver these treats for the Animals....!

And this Car Magnet is adorable...just threw it in this post. Thinking if my Daughter gets her Bronze Award this year with Mrs. Amanda, I want it...!

Great job to Citlali, Marie, Elizabeth and Lilyana....!

You girls made a difference. It may not seem much, but everything you do for someone makes a difference. Those animals and the people at the Shelter appreciate the kindness and treats.

Good Job Leader Amanda for teaching these girls about making an impact and taking the time to do this project with them...!

 



Girls Summit.

We ventured out this weekend to the Naval Air Force Base in Lemoore.

The Juniors and Cadettes had an opportunity to take some conference type classes.

The classes they took ranged from Jewelry Making, Knitting, First Aid, Cooking Fun, Self Defense.

Amanda and I thought it would be a great opportunity for the girls.

 Some of our girls that went...!

 

 

It was a great experience for them...!

Totally worth my time :) 

CAMPING 2011.

Our first campout in Amanda's Backyard.

It looks like a campground doesn't it?

So, I was in charge of this event this Summer.

What I did was choose a Badge for each of the Troops to work on while Camping so they earned a Badge as well as a Backyard Camping Patch.

First, we all set up the tents.

 The Cadettes and Juniors made dinner.

 The girls sewed their Sit-Upons.

 They learned a new "Grace" for when we eat.

They gave the older girls an applause for their great cooking!

 My husband is a wildland firefighter. He talked with the girls about outdoor jobs.

 The girls divided into groups and did skits.

 Breakfast in the morning.

 Time for centers.

The Daisies made necklaces with Becky.

 The Cadettes had homework for their camping badge. They had to put together a First Aid Kit.

Kimberly did an amazing job with hers.

 This group learning how to tie knots with Sandy.

 Amanda taught the girls how to use a compass.

 Arianna with her necklace.

 Carmendee is one of our group Tagalongs.

Camping Bingo for the Daisies.

 They split into groups for a Scavenger Hunt.

 Looking for all the things on their list.

 Time for our "Hike." We went out exploring for awhile.

Troop #2447 had a great time Camping.

The girls picked everything up so quickly, I was impressed.

They came with their homework and ready to go.

These girls are amazing!

Thanks to all the other Leaders and Husbands that helped us. <3

This is one of the requirements for their Badges.

Old Navy has some. Dollar Tree has some. Target has some.

Don't forget your sandals....!
