Girl Scout Thanksgiving Pot Luck (A Tad Late)

Two weeks ago, our Girl Scout Troops had their very first "Pot Luck Thanksgiving". The girls helped make fun decorations for the tables along with little pins for the moms/grandma's/aunts to wear. The girls were able to invite family and friends for food and fun. One of my Co-Leaders (THANK YOU KAREN!!) was able to get her church function room for our event. And it worked out perfectly. Jason and I cooked the turkey's. Our first ever. And I would say we did a rather good job. Though a bit dry due to the fact that we used our convection oven for the very first time and they cooked them SUPER QUICK. Next year we will remember.

The kids had a fantastic time. And I was really glad to have the chance to meet the girls sisters, fathers, aunts and uncles. That is always the highlight.

Here are some great pictures of our special day! ENJOY!

The Tables all set up. The decorations in the middle represent "Corn Husks" they are made from toilet paper rolls, brown tissue paper, fall colored buttons, and raffia" Very simple and really cute

We missed everyone

Just wanted to say I missed a lot of you today at girl scouts. We decorated out Turkey feathers and talked about family. All who were unable to make today will work on their feathers next week as we continue to talk about family and gear up for our Thanksgiving Potluck. See everyone next week!

Toilet Paper Rolls

I am in desperate need of Toilet Paper rolls for a project we will be doing. I need at least 24 (one for each girl). So if you can, please save those rolls for me and bring them the next time you see me. Thank You.

Pay It Forward

Pay It Forward Good Deed Project:

One of the wonderful things about Girls Scouts is teaching our girls how they can be active in their community. Knowing that the girls can make a difference in a small way can help strengthen their commitment to help building a better place to live in.

The project I have come up with for the girls to do is a PAY IT FORWARD project.

Each of girl in my troop will receive 3 tokens. Once they have successfully done their good deed for someone, they may pass on a token to that person. Each girl must do three different deeds and have three different people in mind.

Each person receiving the token must then do a good deed for someone as well. This will be you! Once you have, please pass this envelope and the token onto the person you have done the good deed for.

Please if you could, fill out the form below by simply emailing me your information or you can send it to me via postage. What a great project this would be for the girls to see that just ONE nice gesture can spread to make the difference for so many people.

Thank You
Kiley Rodrigues-Leader

Snack List is Up!

Just to let everyone know that snack list is up. We have 17 girls currently in our troop. I always say bring extras just in case though. Also, in the past we have always provided drinks as well. Small water bottles, juice boxes, capri suns are all welcome. There are *NO* food allergies at this time in our troop.

Here are some healthy ideas for snacks:

* Yogurt (cups, or the kind that they drink)
* Apple Slices
* Fruit bowls
* Applesauce
* Gold Fish
* Crackers and Cheese
* Raisins
* Homemade Trail Mix
* Cereal

Do you have some great ideas that I haven't posted. Love to hear from you!

Field Trip to Stop N' Shop

The Brownie Troop finished up their unit on "Eat Right, Stay Healthy" by taking a trip to the Stop N' Shop here in Johnston. The kids had a good time learning about the different food groups from Vegetables and Fruits, to Dairy and Grains. Our tour guide Miss Kelly was really nice to give the girls a tour of the store and Mr. Ari the store manager even provided fun coloring books and snacks at the end for the girls. I definitely will be keeping them in mind for future field trips and other community projects. Here are a few pictures of the girls enjoying their afternoon at the store.
