Hi Families!
This week (March 12) we'll be finishing up the reporting badge. We have been working on bits and pieces of this one with some of our other badge work (like career night). For the meeting, we would ask the Guides to think of a funny incident in their life that they could turn into a cartoon. They will also write a short story about an event they have attended.
In addition, we will also pack up all the donations we received at the Thinking Day meeting on February 23rd as part of the Girl Guides' Words in Action Challenge. You would not believe the donations we gathered from our Guiding community! We are very proud. The list is long, so I have included it at the end of this post.
Other notes:
March 19: March Break - there is no meeting
March 26: Cookies will be available for pick-up. Please bring a cheque for the number of cases you requested - everyone has at least one. The cheques should be made out to Girl Guides of Canada. We actually receive them on March 17, so if you would like to pick your case(s) up before the 26th, please email the leaders.
Votes are in: The girls have voted almost unanimously for horseback riding on May 9. More details will follow shortly.
That's it for now. Have a great weekend!
Jen
