Troop Begins Work on Baking Try-It

Brownie Troop 72082 began work today on the exclusive Virginia Council Try-It Confectionarily Yours. The Troop voted earlier this month, that a Baking Try-It was their #1 priority to complete this year.
The 14 girls had snack (Erin brought rice treats and apple slices).
Then we joined in a Brownie Circle.
Alyssa led the Troop in the Girl Scout Law.
Sagan led the group in the Girl Scout Promise.
In the Circle we talked about what is needed to complete the Try-It.
1) Making Candy
2) Following a recipe, measuring ingredients, and making a cookie dough.
3) Touring a Bakery
4) Learning how to decorate a cake using 4 tips
(The Troop needs to complete 4 out of 8 possible items to earn the Try-It.)
We showed the girls a couple of Wilton cake decorating yearbooks to show them how they can use tips to decorate cakes.
We, the leaders, explained to the Troop, that today we were going to make:
* Chocolate Girl Scout lollipops with melted chocolate candy melts
* Chocolate shapes with melted chocolate candy melts
* Oatmeal cookie dough
Each Brownie left the meeting today with a bag of the cookie dough and the recipe, so they can bake the cookies at home today or tomorrow. The dough should be refrigerated tonight and should last 24-48 hours.

After the meeting, the girls joined in a Brownie Circle and talked about what they learned today.
Finally, Tovah? started the girls in a Friendship Squeeze and then played 1-2-3-Girl-Scout-Out.

* Our next meeting is Monday, Nov. 9.
