2nd Brownie meeting: Playing around the world

Yesterday we had anther successful brownie meeting! YAY! We earned the whole playing around the world try-it. To do that we played 4 games from around the world: Jan Ken Po, sheep and hyenas, find the leader and Mrs.Bear. I know that at least I had fun! We also made cookbooks for the Make-it Eat-it try-it. Most of the girls even contributed a favorite recipe. I can't wait for next week!

1300 pounds of rice!

hello. Today we went to the Linn Benton food share and helped package rice.First we took 50 lbs. bags (of rice) and emptied them into about 1 lb. bags.then we tied the bags closed and put them in boxes.We packaged 1300 lbs. of rice.
the boxes that we put the rice in were all beer boxes, I thought that was pretty strange at first but then the lady explained that the boxes had to be a certain size and the beer boxes just happen to be that size.She also explained that the boxes were either donated(after they were done with their original use of course) or they were bought for any where in between one cent to five cents it was really fun and pretty cool experience and I would so do it again!

First Brownie Meeting Success!

The Gang did such a great job with their first Brownie meeting! I have heard a lot of very positive feedback from the parents of the Brownies. Their girls came home excited and looking forward to more. Woo Hoo!

A New Bridge

Yesterday was our Girl Scout bridging ceremony.It took place at a park with a bridge running across a small river.Our familys (and relatives) attended and it was a dessert potluck.The actual ceremony took place on and around the river.We walked across the bridge and halfway across we dropped a daisy.The daisy represents Julliete Low, the founder of Girl Scouts, whose nickname was Daisy.After we did this we each presented something we had come up with.I read a poem that I wrote.

This Bridge by glimmer

I walk across this bridge
A new beginning has unfolded
Where it takes me I don't know
It leads me where I go
In adventure I learn more
Than with a textbook on the floor
The daisy represents me
Just springed and full of life
The river is a sign of continuos flow
And I know that I will grow
Not just in size but in my strengths
I will gain in friendships
My friends have taken me on this journey
Friends forever and always together
My family teaches me how to love
They are my continuose support
I tell them that I love them,
In every smile I give
I walk across this bridge
A new beginning has unfolded

Glammer and I sung a traditional Girl Scout song, and the other three girls read poems they had written or helped with. Our leaders gave each of us a silver, uncut,key.The key was to represent us being able to unlock any door, including the door to the silver award.Glammer, Giggle, graffiti, and me (glimmer),were presented with the bronze award, the highest award a girl can earn in Junior Girl Scouts.The ceremony was a great success,and we are finally Cadettes.
