Journeys

I had bought one each of the Brownie, Junior, & Cadette Journey books with troop money, thinking I could make copies for the various activities since the books are $7 each. Then the Council bought each troop the book/guide set, so we got another Junior & Brownie Journey book. Last nite Katie & I were looking at the books to see how we wanted to start with it, she had so much fun reading the Junior book, & there are lots of cool fill in areas & scrapbook type stuff, so I ordered a book for each girl. (had to order 7 more books).
Thinking we'll split into 2 groups, Brownies for an hour, Juniors/Cadette for an hour. The leader book says you can do seven 1 hr. sessions, but they don't have to do everything to get the badge set. Will wait till the new books arrive, then set up a meeting. We usually have 1 meeting a month, with the exceptions of dance practices when they decide to dance somewhere. That would make the "journey" take the rest of the year. We usually have a party meeting with games & crafts for Xmas & Easter, so that gets rid of 2 hours...& will have to vote & see if they want to do the Mom & Me Tea again...several of the moms thought it was a lot of fun (It wasn't just me!)
I need to finish reading the leader guides.
