Girltopia

Wow, just wow. What happens when 10,000 girls take over the Los Angeles Convention Center? A whole lot of giggling!

And Gloria and I ready to collapse! We again volunteered our time (what *IS* wrong with us anyway??) and were exhausted by 11 am! Girls arrived at Girltopia, an expo for the sake of being a girl around 9 am and started filling the halls. Presented by Toyota, sponsored by Wells Fargo and Mattel Girltopia was an overall success.

Girls learned about cookies and how to be better entrepreneurs, about careers in fashion, medicine, science, arts, and literature.

There were performances and our girls were asked to help lead the closing ceremonies. Yeah,Troop 925 Rocks. Way to go Sophie Kim, little Sophie represented our whole troop dancing the Ignite dance!

Seems like everyone had a blast.

Until next time,

So our second meeting is in the books. It was much better than our first!

We have our room back, which is a huge relief not only to me but to all of the leaders of Troop 925 that use the room.

The girls learned knots tonight, overhand or stopper knot or shoe lace knots-which ever you want to call them and square knots. Lets just say that they need a bit more work ;)

For any of you that want to work with the girls to help them improve, a square knot is made by taking two ends of rope one in each hand, and tying two overhand knots in the rope as follows:

right over left and through from behind, left over right and through from behind.

Here is an example, only they did it in reverse (left over right, right over left).

This really took almost the whole meeting, the girls really struggled, we will keep practicing!

See you all in two Tuesdays!

Hugs!

Daisy Art Day

So its a weekend and I get to play with my Daisies! Yea!

I have so much fun with the kids, and today was no exception. We had Lauren, Simone, Ivey, and Zoey all come to Daisy Art Day!

What was Daisy Art Day? It was this really cool "Badge Workshop" hosted by the Cadettes and Seniors of troop 12631. The girls earned most of their "Between Earth and Sky" Journey Badge Set by learning a new song, doing art projects, and overall having a really nice afternoon.

All they need to do now is finish their journey books and bring them to me and I will get the badges for them.

I cant wait for the next one!

Hugs!
