Trunk or Treat - 10/27

Our first ever Troop #502 "Trunk or Treat" was a HUGE success!! We had some amazing trunks decorated, awesome parent participation and not to mention some really fantastic costumes! The girls got to play some games that were led by our super Juniors and Cadetts while parents set up and decorated their trunks for trick or treating. Ms. Yolanda even led the girls in some line dances! This was a family event as Girl Scouts and their siblings got to participate. All ended well with buckets LOADED with treats (not tricks!). Girls that participated did earn a patch and left with some great memories.

Monster and Me Dance - 10/26

The boys and ghouls were out tonight! Some girls from Troop #502 participated in the father/daughter "Monster and Me Dance" at Cody Elementary. The girls and their "date" enjoyed a fine dinner of spaghetti, took ghoulish pictures and danced the Monster Mash all night long! It was a beautiful evening with some frightening costumes and some freaky dance moves. 

Here are just a few of our Monster Dads:

Daisy Chuck E. Cheese Fun Day - 10/14

Daisy girls know how to have fun!! The girls met up at Chuck E. Cheese to come together as a troop and get to know each other by having a BLAST playing games, eating pizza and putting on a Daisy Show! Ms. Yolanda led the way, showing the girls how they can let loose and make amazing friendships.

Brownie Adventure Time - 10/13

Our Brownie girls went on an adventure! The girls got to travel as a troop to Sally Cheever Girl Scout Leadership Center to learn about themselves, their Girl Scout sisters and girls from other troop. They made puzzles that reflected themselves, created a healthy family recipe book and even learned to write a poem! All the girls who participated left ready to take action to help make the world a better place. They also created new and exciting friendships.

Our girls braved the wet weather for our meeting today. We welcomed new members and had lots to discuss as our Fall Nut/Candy Sale started. Our girls talked about how to use our earned money from our sales with our Cadets leading the way. We also celebrated two birthdays. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tamyra and Morgan!!

Our Daisies talked about ways they can be friendly and helpful at home, school and at Girl Scouts. They then wrote down their ideas on flowers to create a flower bouquet of ways they are friendly and helpful.

Our Brownies earned their first Journey Award by bringing back their star that showed the value of the Girl Scout Law that is the most important to their families. They then began working on their second Journey Award by playing the game "Loop the Hoop" to show teamwork.

Our Juniors began working on their "Power of One" award. The girls discussed influential woman who they feel follow the Girl Scout Law. They drew self portraits to be apart of their Dream Team.
