These are our normal troop meetings planned at the moment; we will let you know if any changes are made.

FYI-Girls are interested in visiting one of our local Dams to have a tour and learn about Hydro-Energy. We will be doing this event in the spring. This event will go towards one of our Journey badges.  

Our meetings from here on out will be focusing on the girls making plans to finish their Journey badges. They will be choosing an activity to accomplish together that will help our community with the knowledge they have learned about energy this year.  It should be a great time, but may add to our schedule depending on what the girls choose.
