Summer Thrill Chart

*First off, I should apologize for Summer, Halloween and Christmas Posts. I know I am so behind on blogging. I moved. Started working. On top of millions of other things. Ok.....apologies are over....onward to fun stuff...!

 

For Summer Vacation the year before, we had kept the girls busy planning out all types of activities. This past Summer, we decided as Leaders that we needed our Vacation...! We got together to go to Knott's Berry Farm and had a Pool Party....and that was it.

However, I still wanted the girls to do some type of GS work and to know that we miss them and want them to have a fun Summer.

So, I came up with this Summer Thrill Chart  after watching Judy Moody one day with my kids. Maybe the Girls could have a Not So Bummer Summer? They filled out Thrilling things they did all Summer and they brought it back to us in September when we started our meetings back up.

The Girls that completed this task were rewarded with ......

Here are the tags for the bags in case you would like to use this idea with your Troop.

 Just click on the link and download...!

I was Thrilled with the results...!



NOT So Bummer Summer.

Last summer, our theme was Mission Impossible.  We had given you girls a bunch of Mission Impossible Events to go to.

This summer we decided that us leaders need a vacation {smile} and we are just doing one big event {Knott's Berry Farm} and our End-of-Summer Pool Party again at the public pool that we rented. 

However, I want you girls to have a NOT SO Bummer Summer....!

In the mail was a bunch of fliers that I sent you, one in particular was a Summer Thrill Point Chart.

I was going Googling FOREVER on a Chart like Judy Moody's that I can just print out....then decided to make my own for the Troop with Rollercoasters and Thrilling pictures :)
In each of the squares, fill in something cool you did this summer.

It could be swimming, an art project, trying a new restaurant, going to the park...anything that you did that you think was fun or thrilling.

Write it in one of the squares.

When our meetings start up in September, bring it back and share your Thrilling Summer with the Troop...!

You will get a THRILLING treat...!

*Make sure to get your slip for Knott's Berry Farm in by July 1st.

The Girl Scouts are FREE however, we are requiring a deposit check. The morning of the trip we will give it back.  If you do not go and we had already paid for your ticket, we will deposit the check.

Our Troop is WAY to huge to pay for events and not have girls show up. 
We are printing our financials up to give at the first meeting to parents. 

If family members are going, they need to pay us the money for the ticket to get the group rate.

It is going to be so much fun...!
