Food Drive for our Community
Notices for this collection were distributed to our neighbors last week. (Click here for a Word doc version).
The girls pulled two wagons up and down our street and collected 77 pounds of food from our neighbors. That is a few pounds more than our collection last year.
 |
| All done! |
The food was delivered to Loudoun Interfaith Relief to help those in need here in Loudoun County.

Juliette Low Bday, Pumpkin Craft
First we had our Easy-Peasy Pumpkin CakeMix Cupcakes. The girls loved them!
Then we played a Kim's Game of Juliette Gordon Low. A Kim's game is where you show several objects to represent a story. After the story is read, an item is removed from the display, and the girls would have to guess what was missing. The girls have a great memory because they were good at this game.
We made small stuffed pumpkins today for the fall season and for Juliette's birthday being the same day as Halloween. A small plate was used as a template to cut circles of orange fabric before the meeting. During the Kim's game, the moms helped by running some thread around the edge of the fabric circles. We didn't want any little fingers getting poked by a needle during our activity.
Small leaves were cut out of green felt and a raffia bow completed our craft.

| Ta-Da!! |

Girl Scout Camp-Theme Kaper Chart
The theme for our kaper chart is camping, because Girl Scout love to camp. We used part of a trifold foam board that was leftover from a prior school project. There are sleeping bags on our chart, each with a job on it. (Click here to download a Word doc of the sleeping bags.) The bags were taped/laminated onto the board, and a slit cut for an opening in each bag to make it a pocket.
The girls were each given a friend, printed on cardstock, in need of her GS uniform. We had some Daisy uniform pages printed, and the girls cut out the hair and clothes to represent themselves and glued them on to their paper doll. These little dolls were also laminated for durability and ease of sliding in and out of the sleeping bag pockets. Each doll friend went into a sleeping bag.
The jobs we have so far are:
- - Snack Assistant
- - Flag Holder
- - Pledge Leader
- - Friendship Circle Starter
- - Kaper Chart (rotates the jobs at the end of the meeting for next time)
We have a few open sleeping bags on our chart to allow our troop to grow. As we get new girls in our troop, we will have a new job added to an open bag. ☺

End of Year Party
We celebrated the end of our first year of Girl Scouts with a party this afternoon. We had cupcakes and treats to share. We gave out the 1-year membership pins to recognize their full year of scouting.
The girls topped it off with a dip in the hot tub!
We have completed all ten Daisy petals this first year. Next year we will work on earning some of the other Daisy awards. We can also spend time doing Girl Scout fun crafts such as making swaps to trade with other troops.

Respect Authority
 |
| Troop 1138 + a few sibling brothers :-) |
We met with the fire fighters who work at the station. We hung out in their kitchen and lounge to start. The fire fighters talked to the kids about fire safety and what to do in an emergency. We then got a tour of the fire station including the living areas where the fire fighters sleep when they stay overnight.
The kids got to go inside two of fire engines that were at the station. Firefighter Smoothers demonstrated and explained all of the fire gear they have to put on when they go out to fight fires.
We gave the fire fighters some yummy Girl Scout cookies to say Thank You for giving our troop a talk and tour!
The girls earned their magenta "Respect Authority" petal today. They took home a Respect Authority Color Page, also got a fun "Fire Station Visit" patch to wear on the back of the vest.

Make the World a Better Place
We chose to clean up the elementary school grounds. Our town provided the safety vests, gloves, and trash bags for the kids to do their work.
 |
| Lots of trash was found along the drainage area. |
 |
| Ta-Da! |
After our clean-up, we read a letter to our troop from another Daisy troop in Rogers, Arkansas. We had made some goodies for them previously as an exchange for "Being a Sister to Every Girl Scout". We got to learn a little bit about where this troop was from and the area where they live. Then each girl received a little goodie bag with their name on it from the Arkansas troop. They were so excited!!

| Opening their goodie bags. |
