a katie masterpiece! she has a lot of talent, and I'm not just saying that cause I'm her mom!

being a leader...

is all fun and games...tonite filled out our troops financial report. always a good time. looking into geo caching and letter boxing for our upcoming Camp Animal Planet to see if they are feasible for our group and resources. some of the meetings I am planning for next year: --- Nice Girlz (anti-bullying meeting, probably a good way to start off the year!)--- The Great Pumpkin (a visit to an area pumpkin patch, something we've never done!)--- Girl Scout Vs. Food--- I Wanna Go To Hollywood!--- see, first I come up with the title of the meeting, figure out what badges will go with it, what activities we can do, any snacks that go along with the theme...I'm kinda like an unpaid party planner!

Liberty, Maddi, Trinity, Braelynn, Jazmine, Nataleigh, Kassie, Sierra, Kayleigh, & Brandy each received a stuffed owl as a momento. our next adventure? Camping!
