Yesterday, the Brownies started the meeting by making Thanksgiving card, for those less fortunate. It is part of a service project. The Troop was told of an optional service project on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. (An e-mail will be sent to parents with more details.)
After snack of lemonade and pretzels, the Brownies joined in a Circle.
Kelly read the Promise and Jessica read the Girl Scout Law.
Next, leader Susan Petroni talked to the girls about an optional event in December -- a Jungle Safari, offered by Council. (A letter went home with each Brownie.) She also showed the Brownies the roller skating participation patch, which 14 of the girls earned, and took home yesterday. (It should go on the back of the vest.)
Afterwards, leader Shawn Granoff talked to the girls about sewing. She passed around doll, clothing, and costume patterns. We talked about basic sewing techniques and then she explained that each Brownie would be sewing a button on to a square of fabric, as part of the requirement to earn the Stitch It Together Try-It. This is one of the 3 Try-Its the Brownies voted they wanted to earn this year.
Unfortunately, we ran out of time to work on a second requirement of the Stitch It Together Try-It or to work on the tongue twisters, as part of the Let's Pretend Try-It, another of the three Try-Its the Troop voted to earn before they moved on to Junior Girl Scouts.
After cleaning up, the Brownies joined in a Circle to do the Friendship Squeeze, started by Emily.
Our next meeting is Monday, Nov. 23.
