11/23/2015 Meeting Recap

We took a break from our regular "badge-earning activities" to do some thanksgiving crafts.  It was lots of fun!





Fall Product is finally in!
I don't know about you but I've been dying to get my hands on all those chocolate goodies I ordered!  And finally they're in!  Everything was distributed last night, just in time to deliver it for the holidays!

If your Girl Scout sold product and wasn't at the meeting last night, please contact Courtney or Amy to make pickup arrangements.


Vet School
Vet school is coming to Fremont!  If you have already signed your Girl Scout up for this event, please remember to pay the $10 registration fee.  (That money is not for our troop, it goes straight to the council to cover the cost of the program.)

**Important Updates**

Hello parents and family of Girl Scout Troop #4324!

Just a reminder that our regular troop meeting next week Monday (November 16) is cancelled.  Regular weekly meetings will resume the following week.

Also, next week Wednesday is Fremont Girl Scouts' Investiture and Rededication Ceremony.

What is that?

I'm glad you asked!!!

Our troop has a lot of new girls this year and the Investiture ceremony welcomes new members—girls and adults—into the Girl Scout family for the first time.  We also have a lot of returning Girl Scouts from last year!  And the Rededication ceremony is an opportunity for girls and adults to renew their commitment to the Girl Scout Promise and Law.

Please dress your Girl Scout in the troop shirt (the black polo shirt) and her Girl Scout vest for this ceremony.

Join us Wednesday, November 18 from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. at the church for this special event!

11/9/2015 Meeting Update

What We Did

We worked more on the aMuse badge at the meeting last night.  The girls are working on looking at stereotypes that society places on girls and women, and identifying all the different roles they play in the world.

Last night each girl made a list of six girls (women) they know and identified the roles they play: caregiver, mom, cook, teacher, bus driver, etc.  And they thought about how each person acts and what parts of the Girl Scout Law they exemplify: honest, fair, friendly, helpful, caring, etc.

We had some great conversations!

Make-Up Information

If your daughter wasn't able to attend last night's meeting, it's very important that she complete the activity we did.  The aMuse badge is different than most badges we earn - it's a "journey," which means its very long and in-depth.  If she isn't able to complete all parts of aMuse, she won't get a badge - and there's way too much work involved for her to not get one because she missed one or two meetings.

You'll need to download and print this form and have your daughter think of girls/women to list in the first column, and then answers the questions about each one in the rest of the columns going across the page.

Also, go to our Links page and all the way to the bottom, in the Forms section, download and print the Badge Activity Make-Up Form to turn in to the leader.

Next Week

Next week's meeting is CANCELLED.

Other Information

Last Friday was the "So You Want To Be An Artist" at the Muskegon Service Center.  This was a council activity that our troop was invited to participate in.  Three girls from our troop went and they had an amazing time!

An instructor walked them through painting a canvas of a snow globe - check out these pictures!
