Stories spark imagination and help girls learn about themselves and the world.

With some help from Brownie Elf along the way, girls see how they can create positive change in the world—change that affects

February Meeting

Well, although our meeting didn't go as planned, we still were very productive! Thank you everyone for being flexible and patient on Wednesday. We could have easily just cancelled but so glad we didn't! Our Woodlands Mounted Patrol meeting is rescheduled for April 18th.

It was nice to sit and have a home meeting where we said the pledge and the girls were reminded of the Girl Scout Promise. We also learned about the History of Girl Scout Cookies for a 100 Year patch requirement. We played a fun quiz-like game and hopefully took something a tad boring and made it interesting! We also learned about water conservation and what we can do in our very own homes to conserve water. We watched a youtube video that a Brownie troop had made on the subject. The girls each took a tip and illustrated it. I will make copies of all the tips for each girl and make it into a book to keep at home and share with family. Lastly we put our 100 Year Patch troop poster together! I think it turned out FANTASTIC!

March is a busy month for us with 2 get togethers. The first on March 4th will be our Service Unit's big 100 year Celebration at Creekwood Park from 2-4. We will be attending this as a troop! March 31st we will be participating in The Woodlands Earth Day Green Up, collecting trash. More info to come on this.

Thanks again for all you do!
