We are jumping all over the place this year. We are still working on the Snacks badge. This was the third snack we made, which is an energy snack. While the photo shows only the raisins, M&Ms and peanuts, we added Cheerios for bulk. Each girl was allowed to add as many (or few) of the ingredients as she wanted, but she was only allowed to use the amount in the recipe. We used plastic sandwich bags to hold the trail mix,. Here was our recipe:
3/4 cup Cheerios
2 Tablespoons raisins
2 Tablespoons M&Ms
1/4 cup peanuts
This finishes our Snacks badge for the girls who have come to all the meetings; however we had a very sparsely attended meeting two weeks ago when we made cookies. That requirement was to make something sweet, and one choice was a holiday treat. We'll make some sweet no-cook snack for our Christmas party and finish this badge.
We started our Bugs badge. I got a bunch of books from the library and each girl picked a favorite bug and made a poster. She drew a picture of the bug and put some facts down like what it eats, where it lives etc.
My co-leader is into monarch butterflies and she had some caterpillars to show the girls.
The school to which her daughter and most of my girls go has a butterfly garden and not surprisingly they were the favorite bug of many of the girls.
We need to finish Girl Scout Way as well. We celebrated Juliette Gordon Low's birthday at the poorly attended meeting; I think we'll celebrate more at our Christmas party. We'll perform the action story for parents. We start the dance badge next week and will do a dance for our parents at Christmas too. We may also do skits on the parts of the Girl Scout Law. Then I'll have three badges to hand out to the girls. It has been a busy semester!
