Girl Scout Troop 4057   

Note: Please be sure to check the calendars periodically.

New! - Meeting Notes: September 12, 2008 -

• Sarah and Elizabeth provided the most scrumptious corned beef, brussel sprouts, and baked potatoes for dinner. Many, many thanks!
• In attendance were Rose, Anna, Sarah, Allie, and Sara.
• We focused on choosing a silver award project and decided to pursue doing a toy drive for a hospital pediatric cancer center.
• We chose four possible hospitals and split up tasks around scheduling meetings at those hospitals to "pitch" the idea.
• We also discussed other activities and tasks involved in the project and concluded that if we are to get everything done before the end of the school year, we need some more meetings. So, we have schedule an extra work session on Saturday, October 4 from 3 - 6 pm at Elizabeth's house. We will develop a Powerpoint presentation for our hospital pitch and discuss appointment progress.
• Due to some scheduling conflicts, there are a few changes to our meeting schedule. The October meeting will now be Friday, 10/24 instead of 10/10. The November meeting will move from 11/14 to 11/21, and the December meeting will move from 12/12 to 12/19.
• The Reids are responsible for dinner at the 10/24 meeting.

- Meeting Notes: August 22, 2008 -

• Allie and Tracy provided dinner of lasagna, garlic bread (with some cheese), and salad.
• In attendance were Rose, Anna, Sarah, Allie, and Imani.
• We had much to talk about. Aside from catching up from the summer, we talked about our Silver Award. Each girl confirmed that she wants to earn her Silver Award and we all agreed that the troop wants to do a single, troop project, rather than individual projects. All we have left is the Project, itself.
• We discussed many project ideas and each girl took an assignment to research a specific project or project type.
• We also talked about bridging to Seniors, which we will do in May. So, we have to finish our project by then.
• The troop agreed to sell cookies this year. We will focus on booth sales, rather than individual sales. The parents who were in attendance for the parent meeting agreed to this and agreed to manage the project as a team. As a result, Tracy will be the Cookie Parent and will attend the training.
• At the November meeting, we will have another parent meeting at 7:30 at which we will assign jobs and discuss where and how many booth sales to hold.
• We also conducted our rededication. Each girl talked about the line from the Girl Scout Law that meant the most to her. It was casual, but very powerful and reaffirming. These girls are truly dedicated to Girl Scouts and each other!
• Finally, the girls said that they would like to go to a corn maze in October, maybe even at night, but not during a haunting! Also, we are interested in attending Girl Scout Day at the Braves on Sunday, September 7, at 1:35. Tracy will follow up.
• The parents met and offered their support of the girls as we work on our Project, were pleased with the thought that we would bridge to Seniors in May, agreed to the cookie plan, agreed to continuing dinner and social rotation, and said they'd think about the game.
