Beginning in their "Junior" Girl Scout year, girls can travel as troops or groups, planning trips with their
adult volunteer, travel in a council-sponsored trip or event with other girls
from their council, or travel with girls across the country (and around the
world) through a destinations event facilitated by Girl Scouts of the
USA.
Our girls voted today to set a goal of raising funds to attend the 100 year celebration in Georgia in 2012.
I know you are probably thinking that this is a long way off, but in order to reserve our time at the Juliette Lowe house we have to start booking now.
We are currently looking into possible means of transportation as well as pricing out a Tour group to facilitate the trip. Many more details to come but the first step was seeing if the girls wanted to do something like this, as we needed to make a reservation and a deposit of $75.
Girls will raise funds through cookie sales and other means. Matching donations are another option for parents to look into.
Many more posts and more parents meetings will be needed to see this through but as Chinese philosopher , Lao-tzu Said,
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a
single step."
Our girls took that step today by voting to set this goal.
