Girl Scout Sunday 2013

Today is Girl Scout Sunday, the Sunday before Girl Scout Birthday, which is March 12th, when Girl Scouts will turn 101.  Three of our girls spent the morning at First Presbyterian Church of Rockwall, not only attending service, but they were greeters and ushers during the service.


After the service, the girls delivered their Be Prepared, Girl Scout themed, bags to a few memebers of the church who need a little extra TLC.  While visiting the different rehab facilities, they looked at flowers to help earn the Flowers Badge.

Happiness

Happiness is . . . having my niece and nephew for 6 days of Spring Break!
I can't want to spend time with them. They are setting the schedule for the week, and since Gram is still in rehab for her broken leg, we will include her in as much as we can, and when we can't, we will show up with dinner or ice cream to tell her all about our day.

We'll keep you posted on our adventures!

Today, we begin with our last Girl Scout Cookie Booth Sale of the season.  2 hours in front of our local Walmart before we spend some time getting the final items for their Be Prepared goodie bag of the church shut-ins.


Bronze Award and Girl Scout Meeting Update:
I missed the last Girl Scout meeting because of the Visitation, but the girls decorated bags for two themes--Be Prepared, in honor of Girl Scout Sunday, Girl Scout Birthday Week, and Girl Scout Birthday, and Easter.  Few items were donated for the bags, but the items that were donated were placed in their respective bag. Once we finished our shopping today and finalize the bags, I'll let you know what was placed inside.

We continue to hear "thank you" and what joy the Valentine's Day bags brought the church members.

Happy 100th Birthday, Girl Scouts!

Today marks Girl Scouts' 100th birthday.  How did you spend the day?

Our Girl Scout troop camped over the weekend, and we held a birthday party yesterday morning with cupcakes before breaking camp.  The girls each shared what they loved about camp and Girl Scouts. Our troop is not doing anything formal today, but the girls are each celebrating this milestone in their own way.

What memories do you have as a Girl Scout?

Thirty-two years ago, my parents registered me as a Brownie Girl Scout (there weren't Daisies at the time).  I enjoyed making friends, creating projects, participating in service projects, going camping, and learning new skills.  I don't remember ever wanting to quit Girl Scouts.

My mom became involved as a leader when I was an older Brownie or Junior, and she continued to be a part through graduation. I enjoyed the time we spent together. 

I credit who I am and the accomplishments I have had to God, my parents/family, friends, and Girl Scouts, which has had the largest influence outside of those.  The skills I learned and the experiences I had have led me to the choices I have made, jobs I have had, friends I have made, and so much more.

I have loved sharing my experiences with my niece and our troop these past four years.

Happy Birthday, Girl Scouts!

Happy Birthday, Girl Scouts!
I know!  I am a day early, but I won't have computer access later today or tomorrow, so I wanted to get my Birthday wish out there early rather than late.

How do you plan to celebrate Girl Scouts' 99th Birthday?
