Another successful meeting! As the girls arrived, Heidi and I got them busy decorating invitations for our Valentine's Party. Reminder, this party is on Valentines Day at the Dana Farms Clubhouse, 3-4:30.
After starting the meeting with our normal flag ceremony, we discussed more about being considerate and caring. The girls took turns telling something that they did over the past two weeks that they considering to be considerate and caring. Our girls are turning into very kind little ladies!
We sent home the light green petal (in the same bag as their SWAPP pins) last night for being Considerate and Caring. The girls earned this petal by carolling at Diamond Terrace, participating in the Color A Smile project, and sharing what they like about each of their Daisy sisters. I'm still working on the completion of that project. I promise you will see it soon!
Our two stations last night were decorating hearts and assembling Daisy pins for World Thinking Day. There was a brief description of what a SWAPP is but in case that paper was lost, here it is again...
Swaps, the tradition of Girl Scouts exchanging keepsakes, started long ago when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides first gathered for fun, song, and making new friends. Swaps were widely exchanged at national Girl Scout Senior Roundups in the 1950's and 1960's. In more recent years, some Girl Scouts describe the types of objects now preferred as swaps by calling them:
Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere.
Swaps are still the perfect way for Girl Scouts to meet each other and promote friendship. Each one is a memory of a special event or Girl Scout Sister.
Please keep the pins in a safe place until World Thinking Day. All twelve should be brought to WTD.
We ended our meeting with a new game that Miss Heidi taught us. I think it was a great game that had the girls introducing themselves to each other and sharing some of their favorite foods, colors, etc.
We do have a field trip set up to the Clayton Library on March 16th at 3:30. More info will be sent out soon...
