Mascot exchange is coming together!
deb bought a Ty Beanie Cardinal (for the Mercer Cardinals!), & our troop has been accepted into a mascot exchange group, where your mascot will visit 5 other troops. It is suggested that we send with the mascot: a disposable camera, council patch,information about your hometown, swaps, letters from the girls in your troop.
They need 4 more troops to sign up so we can get started, so in the meantime deb will work on putting a box together, & girls, be ready to write some letters!
Katie thinks this sounds like fun!
After all the Flat Stacies get home, we'll work on MASCOT EXCHANGE & SWAPS! Something new & different, so no one gets bored!

They worked on a Court Sports badge, went to Brookfield Zoo, saw Lake Michigan, ate at Giordano's Famous Stuffed Pizza, went to Zoo Island in Valparaiso where the girls played mini golf, rode bumper cars & drove go carts.
Stacy took a road trip with Sydney's family. They drove 4 1/2 hours to Cincinnati, Ohio, & stayed in a very comfy hotel. They crossed the Ohio River to visit the aquarium in Newport, KY. They saw all kinds of fish & frogs & Sydney got to pet sharks and feed lorikeets. Then we crossed the bridge back to Ohio & went to an Underground Railroad Museum. After another nite at the hotel, they headed back to Indiana. They stopped at Ball State University & saw the dorm where Sydney's cousin lives. They stopped in Kokomo, IN to see the worlds largest tree stump.

On Summer Vacation.....
Katie's "Nikki" & the unclaimed bunny Katie named "Lucky Bunny" that was left at the meeting where we made Flat Stacies are on their way to visit Brownie Troop 521 in Kenmore, NY. Have fun!
There is one more unclaimed Flat Stacie to go on vacation, then we can start sending girls on their 2nd trip.
Mackenzie has retired both her Stacies.
Rayne retired her Stacie also.
deb will keep sending them out as long as the girls are having fun.
Nikki & Lucky Bunny are the first ones to go out with 'permission slips'. I got this idea from the Flat Stacies we sent to Minnesota...their leader requested permission slips after I had already mailed them...it's a good idea!
