The girls did not raise enough money for the troop to buy the vests. The troop will buy all the pieces for the vests, but each family will need to purchase their own vests, they are 14.99 each, plus shipping, through the Frontier Girls Store . If you would like I can order all the vests, and then be paid back so that we can split one shipping cost. Let me know what you would like. Frontier Girls say the vests run small, and keep in mind that they keep their vests even when they level up, as long as they fit, so order as big as you dare! Hopefully the next time we needs vests, it wont be that big a deal for the troop to order them.
The girls also did not have an extra $100 for the level pins (silver animal shaped pins that fit on the level tab to indicate their rank in the troop). With six of the girls leveling up in August anyway, lets just wait, and present them at the camp out awards ceremony. They also sell puzzle piece shaped pins that each represent one of the leadership positions within the troop, these are also $10 a piece, I would eventually like to purchase these, and then just move them from girl to girl as we change positions each year. All other awards such as the Life Skills, Make A Difference, Liberty, etc. are also $10 each. We will need to have another Fundraiser some time this summer to help purchase these, along with funding our camp out. Please help start thinking of ideas!
The girls are all doing such a great job earning their Service Hearts! These are $4 each from the F.G. Store. Another Mom has suggested that we might be able to find these cheaper somewhere else, so now I am on a mission!
Some Service Hours ideas for February are to bake some goodies for the Holiday Cheer plates that St. Columba Church will be donating on February 12th. Or you can make something to donate to a nursing home!
