Thinking Day is this Saturday (21 Feb) at the Soldiers' Theater from 1500-1700. We invite all the parents/families to attend with your Brownie. As you know our troop has decided to share information about Egypt. This week at our meeting we will be finalizing our displays, learning a game we are going to share for our demonstration, and creating costumes. The help I need from parents involves 3 things.
1. Please have your Brownie wear a white T-shirt (and course her vest or sash) to the Thinking Day ceremony. This will be a part of our costume.
2. If you have anything at all pertaining to Egypt, we would love to be able to use it in our display. Please have your Brownie bring it to our meeting this week if she hasn't already.
3. I'm going to include a couple of sites that have Egyptian food. Please pick something from there--or anywhere--to make for a sample in our display. There are 75 Girl Scouts and we just need items for tastes--not meals.

Feb Updates
Brownie Parents,
So much to tell you--where to begin…
1) We still don’t have word about the cookie dates. As soon as I know something I will let you know. Keep taking those pre-orders.
2) You girls have some badges today that they have earned up until now. We are working on some new ones--busy as always.
3) Thinking Day is coming up on 21 Feb. from 3-5 in the Soldiers’ Theater. More information will follow, but just to give you a head’s up--Thinking Day is a day where scouts around the world come together and learn about each other. Each troop has chosen a country and will be doing a presentation for all the other troops and families. Our troop has chosen Egypt. So far we have found out some interesting things such as what the flag looks like and how to write our names in hieroglyphics. We are going to be continuing to learn/do more with this is the coming weeks. If you have anything--books, souvenirs, other items from Egypt- we would love to see them and borrow them for out display on Thinking Day if possible. Please let me know.
4) In the process of Thinking Day we are going to be learning about other places in the world as well to earn 2 Try-Its--Around the World--and--People of the World. I have a “homework” assignment for your daughter to complete to help with this. We are going to make a “Troop Recipe Book”. Here is the requirement straight from the Try-It handbook
“Some foods you like to eat may come from other countries. Have you ever had noodles, tortillas, egg rolls, peanut butter, or quiche? Where did they come from? May food also were first eaten here. Did you know that American Indians were the first to grow corn, which they called maize? ;You can find out more information like this by making a “Troop Recipe Book.” Bring in family recipes. Each girl can share information about her recipe. Where is it from ? Who gave it to her? How do you make it? Put recipes together in a book. Why not try them for a special lunch or supper?”
Please try to have your recipe at the next meeting.
I guess that’s all for now. I will get you more information about cookies and Thinking Day as soon as I have it.
Thanks for lending me your daughter…
Laurie
