WOW!! Long time no post!

Sorry about not posting over the holiday season--it was crazy in our household-as I'm sure you can understand.
We are now starting our new year of scouting. We are going to be busy, busy, busy as usual.

This afternoon at our meeting we are going to be going over all the "rules" and do's and don'ts of cookie sales. We do not know exactly when the cookies are going to get here, but we do know they are on the way and we want to be prepared. Your Brownie will be receiving a pre-order sheet to take orders on up until the cookies arrive. At that point, you will deliver the cookies and collect the money for your daughter's personal orders. We will then have 2 days of selling cookies outside the PX and Commissary. I will have a sign up sheet with times once we know the dates for sure. The money from pre-orders stays with our troop only--money from the booth sales will be split equally among all troops based on hours of selling time.

We will also finally be finishing up our Eat Right, Stay Healthy Try-It. It seems as that has kept getting pushed to the wayside, but today is the day:)

Coming up in February is Thinking Day. This is a day when Girl Scouts all around the world participate in activites to learn about other cultures. Our troop will be participating in a ceremony by choosing a country and doing some research and projects on it and presenting it at the ceremony in Feb. This afternoon we are going to brainstorm and hopefully come up with our country so we can begin putting everything together beginning next week.

Please watch for notes coming home today with all the information about cookie sales. They are VERY important!!! If you have any questions AT ALL, don't hesitate to ask.
