What a
fantastic family evening.
Despite the
illness and the out of town Brownies we still had a great showing. 24 people including
parents, siblings, cousins and friends came to learn about wall climbing and
enjoyed a night of Pizza afterwards.
It was especially nice after working so hard at our successful site sales….. I cant say enough about how proud I am about the way the girls conducted themselves and the great job they did.
I was amazed
at how fearless all our climbers were! I think we should definitely try this
again~

Recycled T-Shirt Fashion Scarf
The best
part about this cute scarf is that the
only supplies you need to make it are a few
old tshirts and a pair of scissors.
Start by cutting off the hem.
We’ll be using it later!
Then cut the shirts into strips about 3/4″ wide.
I cut 8 strips from each shirt for a total of 32
Give the loops a nice big stretch.
And wrap them around your hand.
You should wrap about 7 -8 times
…31 more times.
Now take those hems and cut them
into strips about 5″ long.
Use those to tie all your loops together…
Into one long chain.
Try different colors and patterns
for a unique look.

Brownie Journey Necklaces
The girls were given their Journey
Necklaces today.Originally our plan was to
give them each an individual key once they earned each section. Unfortunately the necklaces weren’t designed
that way. We are asking the girls to wear the necklaces throughout the year
just as they would their uniform. Whenever they are in uniform, they should also
wear their necklace reminding them that they are part of a growing connection
to family friend community and world.

October 26th Meeting
Have I told
everyone what a great group of girls we have…..
What? Not in the last week?
Hmmm… I must be slacking~
WE HAVE THE BEST GROUP OF GIRLS!!!!!
They received so much information at our meeting
and took it all in.
We started them on their new tasks of taking over
the running of the troop and all I have to say is that we have a great group of
future leaders here.
Not only did they do their jobs, but were receptive
and offered additional suggestions to make the troop run smoother. Two major
decisions were made based on the girls suggestions.
1. Jobs will be posted on a
large poster board JOB BOARD, so that the girls can see their jobs each
meeting.
2. In addition to the sea
turtle, the girls have decided to add another animal to our adoption list. The Penguin.
(Think the movie HAPPY FEET ) They
will now be collecting the plastic six pack rings that come with drinks to
prevent them from entering landfills and getting animals caught in them.
3. Have I mentioned we have
a great group of girls~

Recycled Christmas Ornaments
- One of the most precious resources we
have is aluminum, it is versatile in its uses and fully recyclable. According
to The Aluminum
Association, “Of the 100.6 billion aluminum cans shipped in the
- For the every day person, the easiest way to help reclaim aluminum is to do it via soda can recycling. We can recycle the aluminum directly (local metal recyclers will pay for aluminum), or reuse the aluminum ourselves in creative ways. One of these ways is to make an aluminum can into a holiday ornament.
- 1 empty aluminum soda can
- 1 large pair of scissors
- 1 pencil
How To:
- Cut the top off of an aluminum soda can.
- Using the scissors, cut slices down the walls of the can so that, when spread out, the can walls resemble a sun burst. (see photo).
- With the tip of your scissors, pliers, or with a pencil, twirl the aluminum into fantastical snowflake shapes.
- Be careful as the edge of the aluminum can be sharp and might cut your hands and fingers. I was very surprised at how easy the cans were to work with though.
