Cake decorating class

Our troop is hosting an upcoming girl scout event--A "Wilton Icing Fun" cake decorating class!   We will learn the basics of cake decorating, receive our own cake decorating kits and participation patch, and even practice on some cupcakes we can then take home to share!  The event is tentatively scheduled for Friday, January 6th from 6:00-7:30 at Park Lake Drive Baptist Church.  Please bring $8 to our next meeting to reserve your spot in the class.
I also am needing parent volunteers for this event--if you are interested in helping please let me know!  (this gives me the chance to ask ALL parents to sign up to be parent helpers by submitting the volunteer form and join Girl Scouts as adult members)  We will need as many helpers as we can get for this event and for upcoming cookie sales booths.

Cookies, cookies, cookie kickoff sleepover

Hopefully your daughters told you that they set a troop goal to sell 3,500 boxes of cookies.  YES!  They are full of energy and have their minds set to accomplish the task.  Now is time to register for the kickoff sleepover.  They will swim, play games, sleepover at "The Center", and learn all about cookie sales and safety.  It begins on Friday, January 13th, at 7:00pm at Columbus Avenue Baptist Church, and ends at 7:00am.  They will need to bring a swimsuit, towel, a sleeping bag, pillow, and PJs.  No electronics allowed.  This event is put on by the Greater Waco Service Unit for Girl Scouts and costs $12 per person.  If your daughter plans to attend, please have them bring $12 to our next meeting on December 19th at 6:15pm.  There will be more and more cookie events coming up so stayed tuned...it is an exciting time of year for them--especially being their first year. :)

Girl Scout Outing Tonight!

You should have seen us!  After eating together in the Richland Mall food court, we headed over to Sears and checked out their jewelry counter and identified all the precious stones and jewelry we have been learning about the past few weeks.  Since we completed our necklace made from 3 elements (paper, metal, cotton) last night at our meeting--the jewelry counter lesson wrapped up the JEWELRY badge for us!  Then we started on our SAVVY SHOPPER badge by shopping for "blue purses" from 3 different stores: Sears, Dillards, and of course, Justice.  We found that the prices ranged anywhere from $18 to $300.  We found that the Justice purses were the least expensive, and 40% off! And we learned that the Dillards purses were most expensive due to most being real leather and name brands.  We then worked on our GIRL SCOUT WAY badge and walked up and down the Richland Mall singing our favorite Christmas songs.  Thank you, Hope, for being a Great! song leader!  We lifted so many spirits, and even though we were nervous and a little embarrassed at first, once we began seeing all the smiles we brought to people's faces, we started singing louder and became more confident.  We received many cheers and claps and even people who walked with us and sang!  We topped off our outing with a visit with Santa Claus and enjoying the "snow" that falls inside the Richland Mall every hour!

Friday's meeting info and Saturday outing

Friday's meeting: please bring your jewelry box/book for us to complete. We will hand out badges earned at the end of the meeting! It is Naishka's turn to bring snack.
Saturday outing: we will meet at Griffs at 5:00 and return at 7:30. Please send money for dinner (girls will have choice of food court options at Richland Mall)and $1 to purchase JEWELER badge as we will complete these requirements with our outing to the jewelry stores at the mall. We will not be bell ringing for Salvation Army due to several factors: weather, lengthy 4 hour slots, GS rules. We will complete a scavenger hunt and caroling inside the mall to get us started on two new badge requirements: Girl Scout Way and Savvy Shopper.

Another Badge Earned Last Night

Good job Ladies!  Hope, Paige, Taylor, Aubrey, Elisabeth, and Naishka earned their INVESTIGATE badge at the meeting last night.  They interviewed Cary Vice, an engineer (and Taylor's grand-dad), who told them all about his work in the oil fields and his company.  They discussed how we use oil for energy and why it is so important.  They discussed their own energy plans that they made with their own family.  They then investigated Taylor's home for drafts and reccomended a plan for her family to encourage energy savings.  Thank you Mr. Vice and Taylor's family!  We topped off the meeting with learning to macrame a bracelet...getting us one step closer to our JEWELER badge and a snack.  Thank you Hope!
Next meeting on December 5th from 6:15-7:30.

Horse Rider Badge Saturday=WOW!

Thank you to Emily Vaughan who so generously donated her time and her horse "Whisper" to allow our troop to earn their HORSE RIDER badge.  Taylor, Hope, Naishka, Aubrey, Paige, Daia, and Elisabeth each learned to saddle and bridle a horse, mount and dismount a horse/turn and stop a horse, tools for and how to groom a horse, horse anatomy, different styles of tack and how to keep it clean, and all got a riding lesson and rode and showed off their new skills in front of the troop.  A couple of siblings even joined in on the fun: Ava, Callie, Abby, and Tre!
ALSO- right before our lesson we went to Chick-fil-a and turned in our Operation Christmas Child boxes to help needy children all over the world.  Each girl who brought their box also earned their OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD participation patch!  Thank you girls for recognizing those less fortunate this holiday season!

Reminder Meeting Tomorrow-Location Change

reminder that we have a meeting tomorrow at Taylor's house in Lakeland Meadows.  The address is 10604 Aquilla Trail.  Meeting starts at 6:15-over at 7:30.

Halloween Party FUN and surprises!

What a great time last night!!  We accomplished so much in just 1 1/2 hours!  We first recapped our ENERGIZE badge and moved on to working on our INVESTIGATE badge!  With the first cold front of the season arriving...what a perfect night to learn about insulation to conserve energy!  Our first investigation was an experiment of three glass jars filled with hot water-about 120 degrees.  We left one uninsulated, insulated one by wrapping in towels and the other by wrapping in plastic grocery sacks.  We let them sit to the side while we then jumped into our Halloween treats!  We made banana ghosts, witches hats, monster toes, witches brooms, chocolate bones, and more.  We created, we ate, we laughed, and we ate some more!  Then we checked on our experiment and learned that those thin plastic grocery bags insulated the hot water better than the thick towels did!  The uninsulated jar was at 98.7 degrees, the towel wrapped jar at 101.6 degrees and the plastic wrapped jar at 103.7 degrees.  Who would've thought?  Our girls did!  Within seconds of the results they knew the reason for the surprise result was that the plastic has no holes for heat to escape and the towels, although with very tiny holes, allowed cold air in thru the fabric.  Good job girls!  You guys are SO smart!

Waco Fly In Was SOOO Much Fun!

Thank you so much to the Bronze Eagles Flying Club and all the other supporters and volunteers who worked hard today on this event.  Seven girls from our troop, Elisabeth, Taylor, Naishka, Hope, Aubrey, Paige, and Maggie participated.  They learned all about flying airplanes from a local flight instructor who told them that girls make better pilots!  That got them interested!!  They learned about 2 of the first female African American pilots from a very entertaining actress, drew pictures of different air and space craft, and visited with Air Force pilots.  They even met and talked with a real live astronaut, Alvin Drew!  The highlight was that they got to fly with some real Central Texas pilots who volunteered their time and gas to inspire these kiddos to love flying.  After a few nervous jitters they all jumped in, buckled up, and put their headphones on, and off they went!  I was so proud of all of them and they were extremely proud of themselves!  They finished up by exploring a military helicopter and talking with a Sheriff's Department helicopter pilot. These girls received a participation patch and have also earned the Girl Scouts Aerospace Badge.  Congrats Girls!  I had a blast!

We earned our first badge!

We accomplished a ton at our meeting yesterday!  We gathered up our nut sales forms and after inputting into the NUT-E system our girls earned over $1,000!  We recapped over what we had learned in our Get Moving book about energy and then took a walk outside to observe and report on different types of energy.  We saw the wind, the power lines, the bugs, animals, Taylor jumping, some bricklayers, and American Airlines flew over right on cue to give us another example!  Afterwards, we completed a second recycling project using styrofoam ornaments that were being thrown away, leftover scrapbooking supplies, knotted up ribbon, and glue and created the cutest recycled ghosts Halloween decorations I've ever seen!  With all these tasks completed, the girls have earned their "ENERGIZE" badge!  YAY!  We discussed how next meeting we will have a Halloween Party and make all kinds of Spooky treats on Thursday, October 27, 2011 from 6:15-7:30.  Each girl was given a sign with their two items to bring.  Also each girl should bring an empty soda can as we will start our "JEWELER" badge by make recycled jewelry.  Keep working at selling the magazine subscriptions and renewels until October 31, 2011-proceeds stay with our troop!  Good job Troop 7013!

"I like the feeling to get rewarded for doing good things so I am doing a good thing and getting badges is my reward."- Sophia
"To learn about nature and to meet new friends"-Daia
"To learn about nature and to help others"-Aubrey

"I am so very proud of these girls and look forward to learning with them all the fun and rewarding lessons that go along with Girl Scouts!"-Gwen

Nut sales are underway!

What a super meeting Monday! The girls learned their individual troop "jobs", learned some of the history of girl scouts, discussed our troop goals, and did an activity in conjunction with our ENERGIZE badge. We recycled paper, soaked in water for two weeks, then compacted into a paper brick maker. They are currently drying on top of my mailbox! Later we will investigate our results--more to come on that!!! Now we have our nut sales underway until October 10th. Buy a wall calendar, candies or nuts, or treats for our troops overseas! Also, we are emailing friends And family a link to buy or renew your favorite magazine subscription that will benefit our girl scout troop! The girls were tasked with homework to write their energy pledges (page 20 in Get Moving book) and to bring recycled white paper to the next meeting (yes! We are making more bricks)! Sell the nuts and get the emails sent for magazine sales! Good luck and be safe!
Next meeting is Wednesday, October 12th from 4:00-5:30.

Time for Nut Sales---LOTS of actvities to fundraise for

Nut Sales will begin this Saturday-October 1, 2011!  We only have 10 days to take orders--SO--if you would like your order forms so you can get started before our Monday meeting--I will be at the PAC (China Spring Performing Arts Center at CSMiddle School) at 5:00 on Friday and can give you your order forms then--otherwise you can call me and we can try to meet up or your girl can get hers on Monday, October 3, 2011 at our regular meeting!  Our meeting will last from 6:15-7:30 Monday.
We are also going to be doing magazine sales for the entire month of October and I will get information to the girls about that one on Monday.  Please be safe but encourage the girls to sell as this is our chance to get our troop going and will save us parents money later on this year.  Plus I think the girls will have a tremendous sense of accomplishment if they are able to pay for their activities on their own.
We are raising money for several big things--mark your calendars!
the big 100 year celebration campout will take place on April 20, 21, 22nd.   It will be held at the Sherwood Forest in McDade Texas.
Also, I would like to plan and fundraise for a trip for the girls to Savannah, Georgia to visit the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low-A HUGE GIRL SCOUT "RITE OF PASSAGE" in 2013!
AND--Badge opportunity coming up on October 15th from 2:00-6:00--details on Monday at our meeting!

First meeting----check!

The girls had a great first meeting! They all got to know each other and I got to learn a bit about each one if them! We went over the Girl Scouts basics and planned our activity for our next meeting-which will get us on the road toward earning our first badge! We collected a week's worth of (clean) paper trash from each household, tore it all into tiny pieces into a 5 gallon bucket and filled with water and left it to soak. Our next meeting is Monday, October 3rd at 6:15pm where we will take that bucket'o'soggymess and learn to recycle it into a gigantic sheet of paper-that we will also do something special with! The girls Aldo had "homework"!! To get each of them involved in our blog, they are to write a sentence ot two stating why they want to be a Girl Scout and what they can do as 4th and 5th graders to help our environment. I can't wait to hear what they come up with! Also, they were tasked with bringing an empty cereal box to our next meeting, that we can decorate individually (more recycling! Yay!) to organize each girls' take home papers,etc. Each girl also got instructions on her uniform needs and Journey book, craft supplies needed to fill our troop supply box, and supplies needed to construct our troop first aid kit. Glad to have to intro down...so the fun can begin!

Remember Parents! We would love to have your help and/or participation at all meetings/events. I just require the volunteer background form and registration prior to your participation.

Coming soon! Nut sales!!
Thanks!!
