Brownie Troop 186 visits Firehouse 16

As soon as a girl becomes a member of Girl Scouts/Girl Guides, she is also a

member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).

While it is possible to present the girl with both her Girl Scout and World Badge

(World Trefoil Pin) immediately, it is better to do so after a period of time in which

the girl has been made aware what these pins stand for. Presenting the Girl

Scout pin is usually done during an Investiture Ceremony; presenting the World

Badge/World Trefoil pin is usually done during a Thinking Day Ceremony.

Yesterday during our Feb Meeting, we celebrated World Thinking Day with snacks from other countries, played games from other countries, and talked about girl scouts in other countries, and concluded with the World Pin Ceremony.

The girls goes a World Thinking Day Fun Badge, too!

Journey Day Saturday, Nov 14, 2015

The girls attending this one day camp worked toward earning their Journey Badges for , "It's Your Story Tell It".  They were asked to think of stories they've heard that call for action to help change or improve a particular situation. They were asked to draw a page and make a paper quilt that conveys their message.

Fairy Mist Sept 25 - 26, 2015 Camp Holloway

A older Girl Scout troop put on the Fairy Mist Camp. The girls had a great time  singing, playing games, and doing crafts with the Fairies. 

We were the Orange Elves.

First Brownie Meeting - September 2015

We did the Brownie Investiture Ceremony to celebrate becoming Brownies. Check out the Brownie Story the girls watched. Hopefully they learned to be little brownie elves, and help around the house like the ones in the story.

Back to School Brownie Bash - August 2015

Our Daisies bridging to Brownies, April 2015

Daisy Scout Troop 186

Our next meeting is March 26, 2015

We will be earning the Gerri Petal: Respect Authority

Reminder!

Our bridging ceremony to Brownies is April 14, 2015 at 6pm

at the Girl Scout headquarters on Granny White

On February 26, 2015 the girls earned the Glorie Petal: Respect Myself and Others

We talked about how to respect yourself and others, just like Gloria the Morning Glory.

The girls were given cards with positive qualities like "you are smart", "you are creative",  "you are helpful", "you are friendly."  Each girl had a bucket and picked a card to match qualities they knew about their friends, and they filled each other's buckets. We talked about how each girl is different and we respect those differences, and to always respect others and the unique qualities that make them different from us. "We build each other up, we don't tear each other down".

On January 29, 2015 the girls earned the Tula Petal: Courageous and Strong Petal

Their parents sent us examples of how each girl was courageous and strong. The troop leaders read them out loud and the group tried to guess who we were describing. After it was revealed the girl got an "Awesome" stamp and put on a super hero cape and flew around the circle. 

We were reminded that you don't have to have super powers to feel like a super hero. Each girl is brave and shows courage in their own way; facing fears, riding a scary roller coaster, meeting new friends, learning new things, and standing up for others.

We also had a special speaker, Miss Capps! She talked about the courage she needed on our trips to China to teach, and showed us pictures.

On January 24, 2015 some of the girls and their moms participated in a weekend of nature, cooking and adventures at Camp Sycamore for a "Me and Mine Sleepover"
