Brownies Get Their Wings at a Fly-Up Ceremony

We had a Fly-Up Ceremony for Brownie Troop 2082 at our last meeting, which was also a pool party celebration.
We also said goodbye to Jessica, who has been with the Troop since Daisy Scouts, and is not continuing on as a Junior Scout. Jessica, and the other 15 Brownies, all officially received their Fly-Up Wings to Junior Girl Scouts.
(Parents: The wings go on the new Green vest).
The girls also received a green membership star. The Blue Daisy membership Star and the Green Brownie stars will all move to the Green Junior Vest too.
Below is a slideshow from the ceremony:

Rainbow Patch for new GREEN Junior Vest

FYI -- The new rainbow patch received today and the Brownie wings to come tomorrow wil go on the NEW GREEN JUNIOR VESTS!
see you tomorrow -(4:15 to 6 p.m. at 140 Temple Street)
-- Susan

Congrats to Juniors 2082!!! (Parents Thanks for Your Understanding and patience!)

Congrats to all the former Brownies who were able to make it to the bridging ceremony today! I can't believe the sun is shining now!

PLEASE HAVE THE GIRLS BRING THEIR BROWNIE VESTS TOMORROW.
I will be pinning on their final Green STAR on to their vest and safety pinning their brownie wings. And we will take one last group photo in the Brownie uniform! Then pool time!!!


Then it's time for pool party fun.
Don't forget a towel & sunscreen.
The weather is expected to be rain free!!!

Susan

FYI -- I want to thank everyone for their patience today!
While the weatherman was correct & the storm did pass in time and we had sunshine; we unfortunately had giant puddles and lots of mud.
At 4:30 p.m., when we began setting up, one of the dads in the parking lot offered to call the Masonic Hall to see if we could have the ceremony there.
The Troop leaders present, then made a group decision to move inside.
Unfortunately, the Masonic Hall could never have been an option as the Framingham bridging location, because 2 of the Troops requested handicapped accessible halls (one Daisy Troop with a Scout in an 80-pound wheelchair and another Junior Troop with a child in a walker).
After the bridging location was planned outside, due to the fact that no handicapped accessible locations were available on the agreed upon date, that Daisy Troop, with the 80-pound wheelchair Scout, dropped out of the town-wide bridging.
I want to personally thank Mr. Canhoto from Troop 2086 for coming through at the last minute and not disappointing all the Scouts. (Parents, probably will appreciate the non-muddy shoes.)

If anyone would like to share photos, send them to spetroni@rcn.com. I will try to post some photos on the Troop's Web site photos soon.

Expect Storm to Clear - Bridging Ceremony is On

I know there is a major downpour storm now, but according to weather.com it should be passing by 4:30 p.m.

This storm is moving at 55-60 MPH and is suppose to be SEVERE but pass by within 30 minutes.

Worse case scenario we will have to hold off by sitting in cars for a few minutes.
Don't want to diappoint the Scouts, by cancelling.

Radar on weather.com looks like we will have a brief clearing between this storm and then a second storm is expected to hit.

I was afraid by delaying until a 530 or 6 p.m. start that we will be right in the middle of that 2nd storm.

Don't forget to bring umbrellas and bug spray!
Susan

Town-wide Bridging Ceremony on, but check Web site again at about 3:30 p.m.

At this time, the bridging ceremony is still on.
Each Brownie should be wearing a white or cream top and either brown shorts, skirt or pants. DON'T FORGET THEIR VEST!
I would also advise bug spray!


The Scouts will be under tents. I am hoping for the weather to stay like this, cloudy and a splatter of raindrops.

I DO see that we are under a tornado watch through 8 p.m. and that there is the possibility of a SHORT downpour/lightning storm like yesterday.

I will post on the Web site by 3:30 p.m. if we are CANCELLED.
My intention is that we are a go! (same plan as we had established on Friday.)

If however, we do get a storm as severe and SHORT as yesterday, that WE will move back the ceremony by 30 minutes or an hour. Thus, a 5:30 p.m. or 6 p.m. ceremony.

If that is the case -- I will post on the Framingham GIRL SCOUT WEB SITE by 3:30 p.m. that time change!!

site is
www.framinghamgirlscouts.blogspot.com


-- Susan
P.S. The Scouts will be sitting at picnic tables under a tent directly in front of the pavillion. Parents may sit at other picnic tables, but they're not under a tent. Parents may wish to bring their own chair. There are other tents errected on site - 3 others - but not near the pavillion, where the ceremony will take place.

Brownies Start Work on People Are Talking Try-It

At our last meeting, Brownie Troop 72082 began work on the People Are Talking Try-It. XXXXXX led the group in the Girl Scout Promise. XXXXX led the group in the Girl Scout Law.
Afterwards, Troop Leader Pam split the Troop into groups of two. The girls learned to be a good listener. They learned how to look right at the person who is talking, how to not get distracted by other sounds, actions, or people. They learned not to interrupt the person talking and also how to ask pertinent questions.
The girls then met back in the Brownie Circle and discussed there experience.
Then, the Troop moved on to requirement #2 for the Try-It. We talked about foreign languages. The girls taught each other how to say basic words in several languages, including, Spanish and Portuguese.
Finally, the girls learned that sometimes it is not what you say but HOW you say it. This was the third of the four requirements needed to complete the badge.
At the end of the meeting, Leader pam passed out the Mother's day pin the Brownies created, as part of the Art To Wear Try-It earlier.

Our Brownie Troop and Daisy Troop 72105 Earn Doll Collector Try-It

At our last Brownie Meeting, we were joined by a half dozen Daisy Scouts from Troop 72105. We started the meeting with one of the Daisy Scouts reading the Girl Scout Promise. Then, each of the girls from both Troops went around the table to read a line from the Girl Scout Law.
The two Troops joined for a combined meeting to meet the requirements for bridging and to also earn the out-of-state Doll Collector Try-It.
The meeting was billed as a Scout & Doll Tea Party. Each Daisy & Brownie Scout brought either a doll or an action figure to the meeting. Many of the girls brought their American Girl dolls.
The girls munched on Daisy Go Round cookies and grapes and drank juice, provided by the Daisy Scouts. Each Scout talked about their doll for about a minute.
Afterwards, the leaders talked to the two Troops about the different type of dolls - antique, collectible, series, etc. Then, one of the moms of the Brownies showed the two Troops dolls she collected as a child, many were from various countries around the world.
Post a Q&A discussion, the girls were listened to one of the Brownie leaders read the story The Surprise Doll.
Also during the meeting, the Brownies showed the daisy Scouts their vests and talked about what pins and patches they have earned. Each Brownies told the Daisy Scouts either their favorite Try-It or participation patch they earned. There was a short Q&A afterwards.
To end the meeting, the Brownies taught the Daisy Scouts the Brownie Smile Song and sang that song and Make New Friends in a Brownie Circle. The Brownies then taught the Daisy Troop the Friendship Squeeze and how to do Girl Scout Out!

Brownies to Cruise Aboard the Spirit of Boston on Sunday, June 13

" ... Won't ya let me take you on a sea cruise? ..."

Brownie Troop 72082 is going on an Afternoon Luncheon Cruise
on the Spirit of Boston on Sunday, June 13.
Boarding at 11:30 a.m. Spirit leaves harbor at noon. Returns at 2 p.m.

The Brownies voted a cruise of Boston harbor the #2 activity they wanted to do before they bridge to Junior Scouts.

The cost of the cruise is $35 per person.
The Troop is paying $20 for each Scout, because of the terrific cookie selling effort by the Troop.

*** Each Brownie, who cruises, ONLY pays $15.

We are opening this event up to moms, if they wish to attend.
MOMS ARE OPTIONAL.
Any mom, who wishes to attend, needs to pay $35 per person.

The Spirit of Boston will set aside a part of the dining room for our Troop. The chef will be preparing child-friendly fare for the Troop, in addition to its traditional luncheon buffet.
Luncheon buffet menu:
http://www.spiritofboston.com/bo/lunch_menu.jsp

Payment is due at our next meeting, Monday, April 12

We are putting a deposit of $175 down this week on the cruise. We need a minimum of 20 people to attend to get this special rate!
Because of that, we NEED a head count as soon as possible!
Please e-mail us this week if your daughter will be attending.
Also let us know if mom is coming too!

Parking is available at Seaport Hotel - $12
ICA parking may be available at a lower rate. We are checking.

Troop Camping Weekend - May 22-23

Brownie Troop 72082 is going on a weekend camping adventure!
Save the date! Saturday, May 22 & Sunday, May 23
(We anticipate since this is a weekend trip that each Brownie will be missing a religious service and/or a sporting event.)

We will be having our adventure at Girl Scout Camp Rice Moody in Reading.
We already put down the $100 deposit to have the lodge!
(We needed to go this far as we are a big Troop plus as this is our Troop’s first camping trip, we were looking for an indoor lodge, not outdoor tents.)

Our Troop will be sleeping in a heated lodge, but, we will be doing outdoor adventures including hikes, campfires, etc.

Check-in will be at Noon on Saturday, May 22.
We likely will be having a late check-in option at 5 p.m.

(We still need to work out travel arrangements, so late check-ins may need to drop their daughter(s) off at camp Rice Moody.

We still need to plan our activities, so we do not know at this time if we will be staying at the camp until noon on Sunday, May 23 or stay until mid-afternoon.

We have space for 2 adults to camp with us!
(Actually, we only have 1 spot - as Alyssa's mom has already agreed to help out)

We registered our group as 16 Brownies, 3 leaders, & 2 adults.
There is a possibility we may be camping with another Girl Scout Troop that weekend, as the site can hold 50 Scouts/adults.


The Brownies voted overnight camping as one of the 2 activities they wanted to do before they bridge to Junior Scouts this summer.

The Troop will be completing 2-5 Try-It badges during the weekend.

TENTATIVE Try-It Work:
* 4th activity for the Art-to-Wear Try-it
* Brownies, who were first-graders in the Troop ONLY, will complete Outdoor Adventurer
* completing the Eco-Explorer Try It
* Ready, Set, Go Camping Try-It
* possibly one other Try-It?

I have set aside 25 tickets in Loge 8 (same section as Disney on Ice this year) in rows 22 and 23. Row 22 is the first row available to Girl Scout Troops.

Boston Ballet Workshop & Coppelia Performance on Saturday, April 17

OPTIONAL EVENTS -- a bit pricey, but interesting enough that I wanted to send out a group e-mail.

Girl Scout Council of Eastern Mass Council is holding a special workshop for Brownie Scouts with the Boston Ballet during School Vacation week on Saturday, April 17 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. at a cost of $11 per Brownie and $11 per adult. Program description below.

Those who register for the program are eligible to attend a performance of the Ballet Coppelia at 2 p.m. that Saturday at 50% off ticket prices.
Floor tickets would be $48 (from $96) OR $33 (from $66) per person.


The Junior program for this event on Saturday, April 10 has SOLD OUT.

As of today, the Brownie morning workshop program is more than half full - so if interested please let me know ASAP, so we make arrangements to register your daughter for the workshop.

BOSTON BALLET MORNING WORKSHOP: Boston Ballet School will present a lively, interactive overview of the dance world and the history of dance, training, choreography and equipment. Each workshop will feature a behind-the-scenes look at Boston Ballet productions, including real costumes and footwear from the costume shop, and photos and videos to bring ballet to life. Lecturers will intersperse factual information with entertaining anecdotes from their own performing careers. The girls will learn a few steps to music so they can experience the fun of dancing together.

ABOUT COPPELIA BALLET: The light-hearted comedy of George Balanchine’s Coppélia, a Boston Ballet premiere, begins the spring season. Based upon the book by Charles Nuitter, after “Der Sandmann” by E.T.A. Hoffman, this sentimental tale revolves around the life-size dancing doll created by Doctor Coppélius who becomes the source of love troubles for a village swain. The ballet, first choreographed by Arthur St. Léon, was restaged by Marius Petipa and again by Lev Ivanov and Enrico Cecchetti. Balanchine maintained elements from these versions in Acts I and II, creating entirely new choreography for Act III. With this premiere, Boston Ballet joins Geneva Ballet and New York City Ballet, as one of only three companies in the world that have performed this work. Léo Delibes score, called by The New York Times, “a classic of melody, orchestration, rhythm, and storytelling,” is at once lively and accessible. With more than 20 children from Boston Ballet School, Coppélia remains a jubilant and melodic triumph.

Meeting Summary: Sewing a Book & Grocery Shopping on World Thinking Day


Feb. 22 was national World Thinking Day. The theme for World Thinking Day 2010 was "Together we can end extreme poverty and hunger."
World Thinking Day allows Girl Guides and Girl Scouts a chance to celebrate international friendships, but is also a reminder that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community - one of 145 countries in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGS).This year, girls voted and selected Germany, Kuwait, Peru, the Philippines, and South Africa to represent the five regions of World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) — Europe, the Arab region, Western Hemisphere, Asia/Pacific and Africa.
One of the Brownie activities for the World Thinking Day Patch was to plan a healthy meal for a family of four for less than $10? The Brownies were split into groups of two or three and given a supermarket flyer. The Brownie groups identified yogurt as a meal for breakfast. Another group opted for orange juice and dry cereal for breakfast. For lunch, one group identified Chef Boyardee. For dinner, a group said they only had enough money for rice and water. The girls all stay within budget by 50 cents; but many struggled with the concept of identifying healthy meals.
Below are a few photos from the grocery shopping experiment:


***
At the Feb. 22 meeting, the Brownies voted on activities they would like to do before they leave this level of Girl Scouts in June.
The #1 activity was camping with 11 votes.
The #2 activity was a cruise/dance party in Boston harbor with 8 votes.
Other top choices were a sleepover at a children's museum, with 7 votes; a visit to the New England Aquarium with 6 votes, and visiting a horse farm with 5 votes.
After finishing Snack and the vote; Erin led the Troop in reading the Girl Scout Promise.
Then, Talia led the girls in the reciting of the Girl Scout Law.
During our Brownie Circle, we talked to the Brownies the original Girl Scout Law. We explained to the Brownies the meaning of the WAGGS pin they wear on their vest. We talked about World Thinking Day.
After we completed the World Thinking Day discussion and activities; the Brownies started work on sewing a book. This activity was the 4th activity needed to complete the Stitch It Try-It.
Finally, the girls created a Friendship Circle and we concluded the meeting with Becky starting the Brownie Squeeze.

PLEASE IRON Your Daughter's Cookie Shirt

Your daughter created a t-shirt at our Brownie Meeting on Monday. The drawing will not be set for future washings, until the shirt is ironed. The markers are heat set markers.
Please turn the shirt inside out. And iron the markers to set the design. You might wish to put a pad between the shirt & your ironing board so the markers do not transfer. I would recommend ironing the shirt with one side of the shirt on top of the ironing board and one side underneath the ironing board.
The girls are to wear their "Cookie sale" t-shirts at our cookie booth sale on Monday, Jan. 25th. More details will be forthcoming on that event.
The shirt also filled a requirement for the art-to-wear TRY-IT badge. The girls still need to complete 3 more requirements.
If you have any questions, in regards to ironing the design, please call or e-mail me.
Thanks
Susan
