We completed Our Brownie Troop Team Agreement, which they worked on as a team. I will add the Team Agreement to the site as a separate post. ~ Please have your Brownie write the Team Agreement in their Quest Book.

We read the Broken Sidewalk Story from the Brownie Quest book. We talked about how we could make a difference and talked about how we can make a difference as a troop. We talked about the following people/things that need our help:

1. Pine Run Retirement Community ~ The are very excited to have us come Christmas Caroling on Friday. They would love it if our Brownies could visit with their residents monthly.

2. Kids Castle ~ Kids Castle is in need of repair and they are looking at the community for help. They have a Kids Coordinator for their efforts who I will contact to see how we can help.

3. Troop affected by Hurricane Sandy ~ Many troops were affected by Hurricane Sandy since their troop members lost everything (uniforms, patches, etc) and they are looking for other troops to help. We are on a waiting list to get a troop assigned to us.

Some Brownies made suggestions for which song we should perform at Lip Sync. We will be voting on our song at the next meeting.

We talked about the Warm Sock Drive, Our Cookie Exchange, and upoming Gift Exchange.

Homework: Feeling Faces ~ Each day for one week, draw your "feeling faces". Do this in the morning, afternoon, and before you go to bed. Which time of day is your happiest? Why?

Meeting One ~ 9/21/12

Our first meeting was a success. All of the girls were in attendance and we even had a new girl to welcome!

We started the meeting by discussing our unique qualities and talents! It was great for the girls to see that everyone brings something to the group.

Then we discussed what the girls wanted to do as Brownies this year.

Cianna ~ Go camping, Visit a pottery studio, See a Christmas Show
Sophia~ Have a pajama party (popcorn/movie), Visit Hershey Park, Sing Christmas Carols at a retirement home
Jayden ~ Visit a pottery studio, Visit an art studio, Bake pretzels
Katerina ~ Go camping, Attend the Sweetheart dance, Participate in a parade, Have a tea party, Have a spa party
Ava ~ Sell cookies, Sing Christmas Carols at a retirement home, Go camping, Visit the zoo
Paree ~ Go ice skating, Have a Brownie party with other troops, Go to Sweet and Sassy
Allison ~ Have a sleepover party, Go camping
Maura ~ Sing Christmas Carols at a retirement home, Sell cookies, Have a sleepover party
Claire ~ Sell cookies, Sell magazines, Go camping

They were hoping we could do everything on their lists. I let them know, I would certainly try to do as many of them as possible.

The girls also voted what they wanted to do with the money they earned from the Fall Sale. They have decided to save and combine their earnings with their Cookie Sale earnings in the hopes of being able to do something bigger with the money.

We talked about some of the new things we would be doing this year.

1. Ms. Nicole would be working with them on creating scrapbooks about all of the great things we will be doing this year.

2. The girls will be assigned kapers to do at each meeting. (Activity Assistants, Attendance Keeper, Attendace Aide, Dues Collector, Hostess, Closing Leader, Clean Up Captains)

3. The girls received an October calendar, so they can start keeping track of the events we will be attending.

4. The girls will be earning Brownie Bucks this year which they can then use to shop for items at our "troop store". They earn bucks by attending meetings, wearing their uniforms, paying their meeting dues, bringing snack, participating in field trips, fundraising efforts, etc, bringing donations (terracycle, wish list, first aid), and earning a badge at home. Plus, they were reminded that Brownie Bucks would be taken away if they needed to be spoken to three times about their behavior.

It was a very busy meeting and we got alot accomplished in a short amount of time. It looks like the girls are just as excited about this upcoming year as I am.

Next meeting: October 6th ~ Corn Maze and Pumpkin Picking Field Trip
