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!
