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!
