5.  Enjoy a Girl Scout Tradition



Our meeting took place the day before Girl Scout Day (March 12).

We started off the meeting reading the Girl Scout Story on how Juliette Gordon Lowe started Girl Scouts.  The girls took turns reading the story out loud.  We then played a game.  We had items from the story inside a bag.  We showed the girls the items and explained why they were inside the bag.  Some of the items:  a book (JGL loved to read), a pearl necklace (JGL sold her pearls to start girl scouts), a daisy (JGL's nickname was Daisy), a pumpkin (her birthday is on Halloween), rice (she lost her hearing in one ear when the doctor tried to remove rice from her ear, puncturing her ear drum),  a stuffed animal (JGL loved animals), etc.  The girls got to see the items then we put them inside the bag and had them try to write down all of the items that they could remember.

We sang some cookie songs for the ladies in the office where we have our meetings.  Every year we give them some boxes of cookies as a thank you for letting us use the room for our meetings.

We learned how to sing all of the verses of "Make New Friends" in Spanish.  (I will make this a separate post)

We cleaned up around the outside of our meeting place.  Picked up papers and garbage around the building.

We invited a younger troop (the last part of our meeting) and we celebrated the Girl Scout Birthday by having a party and singing Happy Birthday to Girl Scouts.  (we also sang some other girl scout songs)
