SCOUTING EXPO!!!

August 24, 2015 Meeting

Planning & Catching UP Meeting!

Because Girl Scouts are encouraged to select and plan their own activities and events, we spent our meeting making plans for the upcoming year.

There was also ice cream!

The girls came up with some really great ideas.  Some were a little outlandish (Disney World?) but most were excellent opportunities to tackle in the upcoming year.

A few girls finished some of their requirements for their first aid badges, and reminders were given for the bug badge.  All activities for the Bug Badge and the First Aid Badge must be completed by September 14th.

Coming Soon!

• There will be no meeting on labor Day, Monday, September 7th.
• A parent meeting is scheduled for September 14th - important details about the troop and participation will be discussed - don't miss it!
• The Harvest Parade is coming up quick - save the date for Thursday, September 24th!
• Check the CALENDAR for more events!

MEETING CANCELLED!

Attention Girl Scouts and their parents!  Tonight's Girl Scout meeting is cancelled.  There was a scheduling conflict that couldn't be worked out for tonight.  But we will meet next Monday as scheduled.

See you all next week!

Meeting - August 10, 2015

Meeting Update

HUGE shout out to Leanne from Life EMS for talking to the troop last night!  The girls learned about EMTs, how ambulances can get people the help they need quickly, first aid techniques and even role played scenarios and how to handle emergency medical situations!

And the girls made first-aid kits to take home filled with bandages, gloves, gauze, alcohol wipes and antibiotic ointment.

What great life skills to learn!

Coming Soon!

There is no meeting on Labor Day, Monday, September 7th.  And we're having a parent meeting on Monday, September 14th.  Also, information about the next Girl Scout year is coming soon!

Make up

To make up the requirements for the first aid badge this week, girls should:

• Tell the group at the next meeting what an EMT is and how ambulances help the community.
• Complete a first-aid kit.
• Fill out this form and return it to the next meeting.

Questions?

We're still looking for a few parent volunteers for the upcoming Girl Scout year.  A lot of time isn't required - mostly the need right now is drivers to get to events.  We can't fit the entire troop into our two cars!  If you're interested in becoming a volunteer driver for one of our troop outings, please let us know.  You will have to pass a background check and be a registered Girl Scout (I guarantee your daughter will get a kick out of you being a real Girl Scout!), and financial aid is available for the registration fee.  Give us a call or click on the "contact us" link at the top of the page!

Meeting August 3, 2015

Meeting Update

The troop started their First Aid badge this week!  We talked about what 911 is and it's purpose.  Then they role-played calling 911 and took turns being the caller and the dispatcher.  What an awesome learning experience!

We finished up our meeting by going outside and playing a game about whether or not to call 911 during certain situations.  The girls did a great job!

Coming Soon

Next week should be the final meeting regarding first aid.  This will be the last badge the girls complete before school starts back up on September 7th.

Make-Up

Girls unable to attend this meeting must complete the following:
1.  Complete this First Aid Quiz and return to your leader.  Also review the second page of that to learn what doctors and other emergency professionals do to help in emergency situations.
2.  Provide two examples of when it's appropriate to call 911 and two examples of when they should not call 911.
3.  Fill out the Make Up Badge Form and turn it into your leader.

Questions?

If you have any questions or would like ot help participate in some of our meetings or activities, please contact a troop leader!  We're always looking for volunteers!  Give us a call or check out this page to email us!
