SERVICE PROJECT and Jo-Anns Trip

Upcoming Service Project!

We are going to be working on a getting together a service project starting next meeting (April 7^th).  The girls talked about helping out the Animal Shelter. After contacting them the best way we can help is by putting together adoptions kits for newly adopted animals.  Things we are in need of for the kits are: Collars, Treats, Small or large food/water bowls, small bags of food, toys, pet shampoo. Really, anything you can think of to add to a kit for dogs & cats to help them transition to their new families.

We are asking for a bit of help from the girls with this. Have them involved in shopping for a few items or trying to get items donated. They are to be involved as little or as much as they want. All items we are missing we will go shopping for as leaders and then have the girls assemble and take the kits to the animal shelter. Every item counts… so please make this a teachable experience within your/their means and abilities.  Please bring what you can to our next meeting. We will keep you posted on what day we will actually be able to deliver these kits to the Animal Shelter at the end of April. It will probably not match up with our other meeting in April.

Thank you for all your support!

WE HAVE AN AMAZING TROOP OF GIRL SCOUTS!

DELAY IN COOKIE DELIVERY INFORMATION!

Information sent from Council:

Little Brownie Bakers notified our council there would be a delay in the delivery of Girl Scout Cookies. Delivery of Girl Scout Cookies will now take place March 27-April 2.

Although it is disappointing that we have to experience a delay, this extra week gives girls a fantastic opportunity to strive toward their goals by continuing to take orders.

Once cookies arrive in Montana & Wyoming, we will have plenty of cookies to support the girls in exceeding their goals.

As a result of the delayed delivery, the sale has been extended by one week.
    -Booth sales will be April 3rd-April 26th.
    -Frozen Frenzy will remain open for participation until March 26th.

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.
