"Making the World A Better Place"

Rosie Petal

We heard Rosie's story about making the beach a better place.

We had a beach themed meeting, with beach towels, beach balls, fun umbrella cupcakes

from Ms. Julia, and healthy fruit, pretzels and crackers served in sand buckets.

It was like a Daisy Scout beach at SBA!

Everyone brought a book to donate to Ronald McDonald House

 to help make the world a better place.

Marie lead the Pledge of Allegience, and Sophia was the flag bearer. 

Olivia lead the Girl Scout Law.

Iris was the song leader.

Some former girl scouts visited, and did the Girl Scout Promise with us.

Ms. Brandi, Ms. Donna, and Ms. Elizabeth.

Ella Jane's Kaper was snack set up.

SBA Beach!

We had a special guest,

Mr. Sabo!

For are craft, we all wrote the Girl Scout Promise on a Trefoil, and decorated it.

We had so much fun on the playground, that we didn't have enough time for everyone to finish the craft, so some girls can finish it at home.

Thanks, Amy, Erica, Julia,  and Candy for helping!

Using Resources Wisely Petal

We did a craft project with recycled materials.

We used milk cartons collected by Chef Dan for the planter, cups for the pot, popsicle sticks for the plant name, and leftover water from snack to water our

Impatiens that we planted.

We decorated with construction paper, and colored earths out of recycled cardboard. 

We talked about recycling, ways to use resources wisely,

and read the story of "Clover" from the Daisy handbook.

We also made shirts for the girls to wear to our Daisy Scout Nature camp the following Saturday.

The girls are really getting the hang of the Girl Scout Promise, The Girl Scout Law,

and did a great job with the Friendship Circle this week!

Thanks to the parent volunteers, Hanna, Alice, Robyn, and special guest, Iris' grandparents from California. Robyn even made Daisy Scout cupcakes! Yum!

We had a fun time April 26th at our Troop 186 Nature Camp and Edwin Warner Park.

We learned about "Growing in the Garden".

Our nature guide, Sydney, told us about planting, making soil, the green house,

and even let us taste some yummy India Mustard in the garden... well yummy to some.

We listened to storys and drew pictures of a garden

in the beautiful Edwin Warner nature center.

We measured ourselves agains different veggies. The corn was taller than all of us!

We spent the rest of the day outside, having a snack including "earth" Cupcakes, playing in the dirt, and going on a storybook nature hike. 

Thanks to the moms, Julia, Lauren, Robyn, Emily, Erica and Amy for helping with the camp.

Thanks Amy for donating the shirts.
