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?
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns, please contact us:

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.

GLOBETROTTERS UPDATE - Event Confirmed for March 28
IMPORTANT CHANGES - PLEASE READ
FINAL COUNT for Globe Trotters on Sunday, March 28 is below.
There are 25 people and 8 Brownies from our Troop.
To allow for the extra people -- we moved out seats.
***WE ARE SITTING CLOSER.
TROOP is NOW in Loge 9 - rows 16-17-18-19.
WE WERE in Loge 20, rows 23 & 24.
Each ticket is $18.50, and I'm sorry Disney doesn't charge a service fee but the Globetrotters charge a group service fee -- so it comes out to
***$18.75 for each ticket.
I am paying with my personal credit card today for the Harlem Globetrotters tickets.
(Please pay me cash or a check (made out to me not the Troop) at either the Bowling event on Saturday or at our Monday, March 8th meeting.)
This is whom is confirmed:
Erin - 4 tickets - 1 patch
Tovah - 4 tickets - 1 patch
Talia - 2 tickets - 1 patch
Becky - 4 tickets - 1 patch
Sarah - 2 tickets - 1 patch
