Actually, we had a GREAT second Girl Scout troop meeting last night - if I don't say so myself. This was Angie's first as she had an appointment for our meeting two weeks ago and she said that it went really well. I think the girls had fun.
The girls came in and worked on their name plates...we used them for
our Kaper chart, which shows which jobs that each girl will do for the meeting. When we completed our pre-activity, we opened our meeting in the friendship circle. We worked on the Girl Scout sign, the quiet sign, the Girl Scout handshake, the Promise, the "Make New Friends" song, and the Pledge of Allegiance.Once the circle was done, we went back to the table to do our activity. We made Harlequin masks. I had previously cut out the mask shape and eyes, so the girls decorated with feathers, paint, sparkles, jewels, etc. They did a great job with Angie's help (I did some paperwork with the moms while Angie took over). By the way, the idea to do masks was not mine. I talk to Cassie's kindergarten teacher every week and try to get ideas of things to do. During the activity, some of the girls tested on the Girl Scout Promise. Two girls succeeded (including Cassie) and one was very close - I felt so bad that I couldn't give her credit as she left some of it out. Angie was great, though. She complimented the girl and made her feel really good for trying. The girls that memorized the Promise get their Promise Center patch for their uniform.
After we cleaned up, we did snacks. After snacks, we closed our meeting in our friendship circle and I gave the girls their awards (the girls earned their first activity patch for attending their first troop meeting).
We'll have another meeting in two weeks and will be working on our invitations to their pinning ceremony.

Make new friends but keep the old, One is silver and the other gold......see I still remember it ( only been about 40 yrs. ). Sounds like you are all having fun in Girl Scouts!! Glad to hear, I have fond memories of Brownies and Jrs. ( didnt have the Daisy thing when I was a tot. ) You dont have to wear a Coulotte do you bro?
WOW - That is the song. I had to get Justin to teach me it from the sheet music. I just couldn't get the tune or the tempo.
No - I don't have a uniform. They have dress and polo shirts that will suffice. In fact, you can where anything...as long as you have the pin on, you are in uniform.
