September and October Meetings

Welcome to our first year of Brownies! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with the blog and share our adventures with you. We've had two meetings so far so I'll try to catch you up.

September Meeting
We had so much fun getting back together with our friends and meeting for the first time as Brownies! We had a lot of business to take care of including picking our Troop Crest and the Journey we'd like to go on. The girls chose It's Your Story, Tell it! So we will be learning a lot about stories and how we can use them to make the world a better place. We also decorated our new brownie bags, which will carry our books and uniform and hopefully keep us organized. It's a great place to pin all the swaps we received from our friends too.

October Meeting
We had an awesome Halloween party hosted by Lauren and her parents. We made cooky pumpkins and had super creepy snacks. Thank you guys for making our Halloween meeting such a blast! After all the Halloween fun we got down to business and started our Journey. We are going to move quickly though this journey, much faster than our last one. We talked about girls from around the world and how they are similar to us. We played some fun games as an example. Then we talked about stories and how different stories can gives us clues and ideas on how we can make the world a better place. We talked about some different examples and came up with "bigger" ideas on how we could take our clues and turn them into projects. This fulfilled our "Hear a Story" patch requirement and those were passed out at the meeting. If you did not end up with one I had extras. We did have some homework to do before our November meeting so make sure you take a look at the "Elfwork" flyer I passed out. Enjoy some pictures!
