Science Badge Part 1

We had a great time at our meeting today as we explored the scientific method,discussed rules for experimentation, looked for chemical reactions, learned about density, and discussed states of matter. Yes, all of that in a one hour meeting with our usual opening and a snack! We are busy little Brownies! The girls were great today and I was impressed with their knowledge and scientific know how! Way to go girls! Science rocks! The test tubes are actually "baby" two-liter bottles and can be washed in the dish washer. Visit http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/ if you want to try more experiments at home with the test tube! Thank you to Mrs. Leonard, Mrs. Ryan, and Jack for all of your help today! Anna Caroline was a fabulous hostess. Our next meeting is Wednesday, April 22 and we will finish our science badge requirements.

Service Project

The girls did an awesome job today making "Walking Sacks" from the homeless in Memphis. Mr. Gearhart, a volunteer from Catholic Charities of West Tennessee came today to talk about the project and how the girls are serving as Jesus asked them to do. He was so very impressed that they wanted to use some of their cookie money earnings in this way to serve others. Way to go Troop 13312!

It's Cookie Time

We had fun at our troop cookie rally today! Thank you to everyone for signing the permission slips! Please remember not to start selling until Saturday. Thank you to Mrs. Leonard and Mrs. Gardino for helping out today! Annesley was a fabulous hostess today. Be sure to share the video above with anyone buying cookies from our troop members. They are just too cute to resist!

Here are some more photos of the fun from our meeting today!  Did you know that it is the Samoa's 40th birthday?  The girls made party hats to celebrate.  They also made placemats to motivate them to sell  cookies.  Finally, the girls made special business note pads to make lists of customers and any other important notes they need to take during sales.

Here is the link to request an account for online cookie sales this year.

Beginning Our Family Story Badge

At our Dec. 3 meeting we began work on our second badge as Brownies, My Family Story.  The girls sat in groups to share a special story about their family and their family photo.  They then created a family ornament to hang in their homes using their family photos.

 

 

We Have Earned Our First Badge!

Thank you to Dr. Gardino for coming to speak with us at our last meeting to help us complete our Be My Best Self Badge. The girls learned a great deal about how to keep their teeth healthy. Dr. Gardino was impressed with all of the knowledge that the girls already had! Way to go Brownie parents! Thank you to Olivia for being our hostess at the meeting. Annabelle will be our hostess at the Dec. 3 meeting. We will begin our next badge, My Family Story, and complete our final piece of our Discovery Key Quest at the next meeting. The girls voted that their community connection for the final Discovery Key would be to clean up our school grounds. After completing our first activity for the My Family Story badge at the Dec. 3 meeting, we will go outside for a little while and start our clean up efforts. Items needed at the next meeting: 1. Return parade permission slip 2. Return family recipe sheet (copied by Brownie Scout) 3. Bring a copy of a family photo no larger than 4x6 for a special project. The photo will be used in a craft.

Whole Foods Visit

What a fabulous visit to Whole Foods! The girls enjoyed learning more about healthy eating and tasting four new foods to work toward earning their Be My Best Self badge. We enjoyed spinach/apple smoothie, quinoa, Horned Melon, and Robuton. Yummy! Thank you to Amy and Emily from Whole Foods for such a great experience! The girls should put the patch they received from Whole Foods on the back of their vests.
