A Girl Scout Meeting Feb. 21 2009
Morrisa, Mackenzie, Morgan, Jazmine, & Dominique earned Eat Right, Stay Healthy, & Healthy Habits. Lindsay, Kelsie,Katie, & Breanna earned Looking Your Best & Healthy Relationships. We did the Girl Scout Law in a circle, the Girl Scout Promise, passed around the postcards & pictures we had received, the visiting mascot Hawkeye from Iowa & all the stuff she came with.We did drawings, lucky Morrisa got the 'Friendship Book" (Breanna really wanted it, there was a pug on the cover...) & got to take home Carly Cardinal, who Kelsie had brought back after her visit. deb took pics of Carly with Kelsie, Breanna, & Jazmine, & had them fill out pages in the journal about their visits.Dominique is taking Hawkeye home to visit her. This is the first time a visiting mascot has stayed with someone other than us, but the girls are excited about it, & doing such a good job taking care of Carly that I thought it was cool the girls wanted to host. I had just never thought of it.deb made bags for each girl with their sales package, patches, cards, letters, pictures, & swaps from their pen pals & their new vests that the troop purchased with cookie sales $ to take home.We talked about World Thinking Day, this years themes were malaria & AIDS. our troop will send a donation to the Juliette Lowe Friendship Fund like we always do. For Eat Right, Stay Healthy we compared 3 nutrition labels, talked about the food pyramid, asked the girls what their fave foods are, & had frozen vanilla yogurt with their choice of fresh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, whipped cream. The girls also sampled the Girl Scout Peanut Butter Dreams & Girl Scouts Deluxe Pecan Clusters that we will be selling. We passed around a healthy girl calcium ad cartoon ad we'd found.Favorite FoodsJazmine: macaroni & tomato juiceKelsie: tacos Katie: hot dogsMorgan: nachosMackenzie: chicken & noodlesMorrisa: macaroni & cheeseDominique: carrots, broccoli, celery, meatLindsay: chicken, chicken, chickenBreanna: bacon cheese burgerFor Healthy Habits we did beautiful smile, washing works, talked in a circle about times we'd been happy, sad, angry, scared, excited, suprised, embarrassed, loving, upset; & did we like these calcium rich foods: (recorded group consensus!) milk, broccoli, yogurt, collard greens, cheese, fish, & shrimp were YES. Spinach, tofu, turnips all got a great big NO.Looking Your Best we had a color party, using card stock 'swatches'; played circle of friends; & talked about hair styles. We decided that Hawkeyes best colors were blues, hot pink, purples, & gray.Healthy Relationships we played the friendship game where we took turns sitting in the middle of the circle & getting compliments; mums the word where we acted out emotions; & be your own role model where we role played situations.Hawkeyes compliments:Lindsay loved her earrings.Morgan said she had pretty eyes.Kelsie liked her shirt.Katie liked how bearish she was.Mackenzie liked how she was a stuffed bear.Morrisa said she was beautiful.Dominique said she was pretty.Breanns liked her shirt.Jazmine liked how she was a furry fuzzy fuzzball.Usually we get done & the girls get bored, but today we were hopping all the way thru.
