Costco Field Trip!
We started at the Customer Service Desk, and headed to the Tire Center, then thru the main entrance to the Photo Center then the Optical Center. We stopped in at each department to learn a little about how it is run. Mr. Keith explained how Costco stores, tracks and displays their merchandise, and how employees maintain the appearance of the warehouse.
We continued through warehouse to the back of the store where the Bakery is located. Mr. Keith explained how much the bakery department produces every day. We even got to sample free cookies while here.
On to the Meat department to meet the butchers and then to the Produce department. All of the employees would greet our troop as we visited their department.
We explored the back dock where the trucks deliver the goods from the depot to the warehouse. We watched an employee demonstrate the forklift and how it is used to move and store the merchandise.
We continued the tour through the food sections of the store and went to visit the Pharmacy and Hearing departments. From there we went through the Employee Lounge and management offices. Mr. Keith then gave each of the kids a free backpack they could use in school.
We finished our tour at the Food Court, and were treated to complimentary pizza, lemonade and churros for our group.
Such an awesome field trip! We will use some of what we learned today about different jobs for the Barbie I Can Be badge.

Valentine / World Thinking Day
We had our meeting to celebrate Valentine's and recognize World Thinking Day this month. The girls created Valentine critters to send to two troops. We are exchanging care packages with Troop 5029 in San Diego, California, and with Troop 344 in McDonald, Ohio.
The girls each completed an About Me page for the Daisy troop in California.
We packed up the notes, a letter about our troop, the critters and some goodies for our Girl Scout friends. We then got to open the care packages we've received from them. The girls were so excited to open the packages and read about their GS friends across the country.
