Mini Scrapbook

Last meeting, the girls decorated a chipboard Girl Scout.

It's actually going to be the front page to their mini scrapbook album that they will be doing all year round.

We will keep adding pages onto it.

For Homework: I needed them to decorate the back of that girl. They could use whatever materials you have on hand. The sky is the limit!

Bring them back at this Tuesday's meeting....!

I will be putting them in their own bags so they don't lose them. I will also be giving them pictures throughout the year to put in them.

If you ever take pictures and would like to share, please email me at bobbicamacho@hotmail.com

I have a few girls that left them at the meeting. I have them with me. If your GS did not take one home, please get it from me this week to complete. Thank YOU!

*These turned out adorable. We did one page a month for each holiday or season. At the end of the year, I bound them into Mini Albums {I kept their pages in gallon sized bags all year at my home so they don't get lost} I printed out wallet sized pictures and they put them in the last meeting. The very last Award Ceremony, they all got a Scrapbook Patch.

Dues....!

This year we are doing things a little differently with Dues.

Instead of paying at the door, the girls are going to collect them within their own Troops.

We had a cute box at the front of the girls to put their Dues in when they Sign-In.

 One way of having my girls be more responsible with the money is to have them carry their Dues on their own. My little Daisy wears dresses sometimes and doesn't have pockets so I thought having them carry some type of pouch would be good so they don't lose their money.

I envisioned a smaller see-through pouch when I made it up in my mind...but these were .97 cents at Walmart....so they work. They are the binder pouches with the holes, so I put flowers to cover them up. The little lace is actually elastic so they can slip it on their wrists.

Hopefully, they work well....! We'll test them out this week.

New Badges

Debuting in the Fall of 2011, we have added some NEW Girl Scout Badges to the collection.

I have to say, I am really impressed with these. They are adorable and some are great lessons for the girls...!

I cannot wait to get the year started because not only do the girls learn new things, many times I do as well....! We're learning together....!

Summer Luau...!

There is good news and bad news.

The Bad News is....Summer is over...! Vacation is over...!

The Good News is.....Girl Scout Meetings will be starting back up soon...!

Onward, to post our End Of Summer Luau pictures.

*BTW...our Patch for this event has a little Hawaiian Girl like the one up above...adorbs...!

We had a blast. With the cookie money, our troop had rented the public pool and had our own family night together. I really loved that night. It was a break from everything and just a nice get together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Made these Nutter Butter Cookies for a Dessert.
I just love hanging out with my Girl Scout family.
We had dinner together, sat around and talked and swam.

Thank you families for ending a wonderful first year, summer and all....!

SELF-DEFENSE CLASS

This Self Defense class had my girls talking about it forever....!

They had so much fun...! They are ready to kick some bad guy booty....!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was really impressed by the instructor. The girls thoroughly enjoyed how he taught them. His techniques were easy to understand and to copy. They learned alot of different moves to use.

Tae Kwon Do Tigers also is giving a discount to all Girl Scouts and anyone that mentions Girl Scouts.

If I didn't recently move, I would have taken advantage of the costs and the learning experience...! If you are interested, they are truly nice people. Call them and sit in and see for yourselves how beneficial Tae Kwon Do is.

*Thank you also to Sandy for posting when my internet was down*

Cupcake Class...!

I think our Cupcake Class was a blast...! But it could be just me?!

The girls paid the majority of their Wilton Cupcake Kits and the Troop Fund paid the rest.

I baked and donated the cupcakes and frosting.

 My girls loved it...decorating cupcakes with their girlfriends.

The weird thing was, they watch me decorate cakes all the time and they even help me...but I guess I never taught them the correct terminology and ways to hold it, etc. So, they loved how they learned what to do. Just realized that when we got home. They cleaned their piping bags and tips and were excited to use them again!

 They learned everything from beginning to end....!

How to cut a piping bag, they learned how to use three different tips, and got to decorate their own cupcakes afterwards.

 Thank you Jesus for Leaders that help with all the girls...!

 The girls did really good. Some of them, had it down packed.
They were all ages, so it was neat to see how they all learned.

 

 Kaitlyn actually asked me to take a picture of her and her cupcake...!

Lilian looking gorgeous....!

Veronica brought pizza, soda and goody bags for the girls for Alexis' birthday.... a little party for her.

It was a really fun night.
 Plus, these Wilton Girl Scout Kits came with a Patch.
