Welcome Back or Aboard the 2013-14 Year!!!

Twit-Twoooooo and welcome to another great Brownie year.  Our first meeting was held on September 19th.  It was great to see some familiar faces and lots of new ones too.   This year we have two new Guiders leading our Brownie unit: Krista and Kelly.  Both ladies are full of passion for Guiding and are dedicated to making this year a success. 

How did the girls know that
Cookie Owl loves all kinds
of sweet treats?

At our first meeting, the girls were given the task of choosing owl names for our new Guiders.  After some discussion (and a bit of giggling), our Guiders were given their owl names: Krista is now Brownie Owl and Kelly is Cookie Owl.  

Speaking of cookies, fall cookie selling time is almost upon us.  Fundraising through cookie sales is the "lifeblood" of our program.  Our unit has 60 cases of mint cookies to sell this fall.  We ask that each girl take at least one case of cookies (payment of $60 is due upon pick up). Pick-up dates will be provided shortly.  Girl Guides offers incentives to girls who are eager to sell cookies - this program is called Cookie All Stars. We will be keeping track of the number of cases each girl sells this year.  If you have any questions, please let your Guiders know. 

We are working on earning our Key to Brownies with our new girls. We ask that you help them practice their Brownie Promise and Law as well as their songs.  We also have some fun activities coming up including a visit to a planetarium, a visit from a veteran, and a group cookie selling event.  Stay tuned... 

Whoooo whooooo...
