Sorry I haven't posted news for awhile, thank you all for bearing with me through my family's most hectic time of the year! 3 birthday's and Easter in a month and a half, plus I have started Curves Complete, and it has taken a couple weeks to get that schedule worked into our family schedule!
February we worked on the Geneology badge, they were sent home with Family Tree's and Family Histories to finish by the May meeting. They are also supposed to interview a grandparent and get a childhood story to share. We will share these stories at the MAY meeting.
March we earned the Cultures by Country Badge. Each girl needs to choose a Country that their ancestors came from, and earn the badge for that Country. I need a list of the countries that each girl chose so I can order the badges. We decided that one requirement we wanted to do was the first one: Try a traditional food or snack from that country. Everyone is to bring one for the April meeting snack. Nathalie did France, Claire did Ireland, Emma did Germany. I need the countries that Megan, Vanessa and Jaclyn chose.
The April meeting will be planting flowers at the park. I will buy them ahead of time, and bring them with us. Everyone needs to bring their snack they are sharing that is from the Culture's Country.
At the April Flags meeting we finished the Tall Flags badge with our Original Routines. Emma and Megan were chosen as Co-Captains for the 2013-2014 school year. Congratulations to both of them! That was a tough and exciting competition, and I enjoyed all the routines!
The May meeting we will earn the Ice Cream badge, and share our stories that we learned from our Grandparents.
The Video is due to Kerry by May 31st. I would like to have a night were we can work on putting this together. Wednesday nights are now free, so maybe after the April meeting, as I would like to get a little more footage for it. Remember the winning troop recieves $100!
Now that I have the Soccer Schedule I will get in touch with Lisa about the Horseback Riding. Gabe's games are all at 12 or 1, and with Kevin working Saturdays we can't split up. We might have to wait till summer vacation starts, or on a Sunday afternoon.
The girls and I also discussed the Summer Camping Trip for this year. They expressed an interest in staying home and camping at Mozingo and seeing if we can bring the Pappert's boat. At the Camping Trip, we will have our Awards Ceremony, and Megan will level up to Butterfly. I would like to earn the Outdoor Cooking Badge, the Emergency Preparedness Badge and maybe a Water badge during the Camp-out.
Two other Summer Events will be Swimming at the Maryville Pool, and the Stanberry 4th of July Parade.
One more item of note! Inside their folders are copies of all the Awards and the requirements to earn these, also there is a list of the Life Skills requirements. These are things to think about this summer, and rainy days. I do NOT plan on having a Life Skills Day this summer.
