Meeting recap - March 17th

Thursday, we ventured across the street to Rachel's Place as part of the Caring for Children Badge.  The girls were broken down into groups to work with the 4 different age groups.  Emily and Amber worked with the infants.  Paige, Brianna, Abby and Hannah worked with the 2 and 3 year olds.  Selena, Rebecca, Taylor and Alyssa worked with the 4 year olds.  Alex, Ingrid, Allie, Maddy, Faith, and Ana helped the school-aged children.  Each of girls had brought a book to read to the kids.  The 4 year olds also did some puzzles and Memory.  2 and 3 year olds had some fun with blocks.  And, after playing some card games, the school aged children ended with some red light, green light.
Rachel's Place gave each of the girls a rice crispy treat that the school aged kids had made and all of our girls asked if they could go back again soon.  They all did such a wonderful job working with the kids!!

Cookies, Cookies Everywhere!!!

We picked up cookies at the CVTC parking lot this year.  Like last year, they had two semi's with two lines of vehicles.  With the amount of cookies we had, we had two appointment times back to back.  As we drive down the line, volunteers have counted out the number of cases and we load them.  This year the girls sold 2704 boxes of cookies.  The troop also ordered some extras to make our starting total 2787.

 One of the three vehicles we used to transport the 231 cases to Maria's house for sorting.

Temps were much lower than last year's cookie sort.  We were very fortunate to have so many great helpers.  Extra special thank you to Katelyn and Kelly, Faith and Tammy, Ingrid and Cheri, Alyssa, Dave and Maria, Allie and Tina, Ana and Rachael.

In addition to helping sort, the girls were also helping with loading vehicles.  All of the cookies were sorted and picked-up in record time.  And over-all, we were off very few boxes.  Woo Hoo!!!!

Meeting recap - March 3rd

March 3rd, we discussed some things for our upcoming trip on the 17th to Rachel's Place.  We talked about behaviors, games, and snacks that are age appropriate for different age-groups of children.
We also started working on some other items for our camping trip.  They brainstormed some scavenger hunt items and made their current idea of a map.

More to come on badges we'll be earning during our summer outing......
