Girl Scouts

Sarah is loving Girl Scouts. We have finished our cookie sales for the year (whew!) and have enough troop money to fund our activities for next school year. Here is Sarah with a few of her friends, selling cookies in front of Belk. I am very proud of my daughter. She really wanted this stuffed horse "prize" which was available to those that sold 220 boxes. (Will post picture which it arrives --- hope it is not 2" tall!) Since neither Steve nor I work in an office with lots of willing buyers, Sarah really had to get creative in selling cookies. She had a table on our corner one weekend. We loaded the wagon down with all varieties and walked a couple of neighborhood streets. She also worked FOUR weekends at Walmart and Belk to sell enough cookies. She ended up selling 221 boxes. :) Thanks to all of you that supported our troop and Sarah. Way to go little one!

In Daisy Girl Scouts, we work to earn petal patches that represent the Girl Scout Law. Sarah has earned half of them.

So far she has earned...Honest & Fair, Friendly & Helpful, Considerate & Caring, Courageous & Strong, Responsible for what I say and do, and Respect Myself & Others. This picture shows her awesome leader handing out her patches at the last awards ceremony. I wish we had been a little closer together. Oh, well.

Since Daisy Girl Scouts is the program for kindergarteners and first graders, we will "bridge" to Brownies in May.
