Be A Sister to Every Girl Scout

Our meeting today was to focus on Being a Sister to Every Girl Scout.  That is the last statement in the GS Law, so we talked about how we can be Girl Scouts from all over the world enjoy Girl Scouts, just like they do.

First, we had a little Valentine fun, and decorated sugar cookies with pink icing and Valentine-inspired decors.  The best part was eating them, of course.

We handed out the goodie bags we received from Troop 344 in Ohio.  We had made the Ohio troop Valentine cards at our last meeting.   This tied in well to our being a sister to other Girl Scout theme for today.

We had a request to do an exchange with anther Daisy troop in Arkansas.  So today, the girls made little critter bookmarks to send to this troop.

The final task for today was to write notes to the girls in this troop.  We will bundle the cards and critters, and a couple other goodies, along with some information about our Virginia locality to send to this troop.

The girls earned their violet petal patch today for all their hard work.  We definitely needed all mothers' helping hands for today's activities.
