Re-Organizing and Re-Settling

Brandy and I got to talking. The girls are really rambunctious so we thought changing the way we do meetings might help us keep their focus longer. So tonight we started with snack first and then moved to the Daisy Circle and got our meeting underway. It seemed to help.

And we are going to need it! The girls are really getting comfortable with each other and the chatter is getting loud with all their voices all at once!

Ours are all getting really comfortable with each other which is awesome since we have added the new girls in. They really aren't "new girls" anymore-and after our investiture next week they will simply be just Daisies!

So this meeting we talked a little about camping and the skills needed. We also talked about harvest and how apples are harvested in the fall. Rebecca walked the girls though a craft and hopefully they will all want to plant apple seeds soon and grow an apple tree of their own! Apples usually start forming around year 2, they are not really sweet until year 5.

Then we talked about investiture briefly.

Investiture, what is it? It't the official welcome to Girl Scouts. It's a way of promising to live by the Girl Scout Law by reciting the Girl Scout Promise and dedicating yourself to doing good.

And along with Investiture, it is custom to have a Re-Dedication Ceremony, where current Girl Scouts re-dedicate themselves to doing good, at home, at scouts, in school and in the community.

So we will invest the girls and re-dedicate on Tuesday (our six new girls will get their tunics then). And we will start our next Journey, 3 Cheers for Animals.

Alma will bring snack and we will have a blast! Pictures to follow and I will get them up that night!!! Cross my fingers at least!

See you all Tuesday!

Hugs,
