Dr. Seuss Event Deadline Extended to March 20

As the three councils from Eastern Massachusetts have now merged into one, Brownies from the former Patriots Trail Council are welcome to attend events and programs offered by the other Eastern Massachusetts councils.

The Southeastern Girl Scout Council is offering a special Dr. Seuss Brownie event with a patch for $8 in the spring of 2008. The event will be held on Saturday, April 12 in Norton, Massachusetts.

EVENT DETAILS: Dr Seuss loved silly characters and stories, but he had a serious mission -- to make the world a better place. His stories are full of values themes ... The Lorax (care for the environment), The Sneeches (bullying, self image), Butter Battle (conflict resolution, peace) and others will guide girls from the stories to the impact of the lessons they teach. This culminates in ideas for service through hands-on activities to help others. It’s a feel-good extravaganza with a fun, funky twist! Bring a bag lunch.
The deadline to register is March 20 (Please contact a troop leader if you would like to register and she can explain the process. This is not a Brownie troop 2082 event, so individual Brownies may attend on their own.)

MORE DETAILS:
Event is Saturday, April 12 in Norton
4 Time slot options: 9 a.m. to noon, 10-1 p.m., 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and noon to 3 p.m.
Fee is $8 and includes a patch

NEW COUNCIL is official!

As of yesterday Feb. 1, the Patriots Trail Council (our former council), The Star & Spindle Council and the Southeastern Massachusetts Council have all merged to form the Girl Scouts of Eastern Mass Council.
For more information on the merger visit, http://www.girlscoutseasternmass.org/aboutfaqs.htm

AS WE knew this merger was in the works when Brownie Troop 2082 began, we ordered Eastern Mass badges for our Brownie troop as opposed to the Patriots Trail badges.
