A troop leader shares her Daisy troop meeting plans. \u00a0This blog is shared with the permission of the leader so that other troops might find inspiration when planning meetings.<\/p>\n

Lots to Catch Up On…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Admittedly, I haven\u2019t blogged in a few months.\u00a0 Fall is the busiest time for me. Kids are back in school and then the holidays are here before I know it.<\/p>\n

Fall is also very busy for our troop.\u00a0 As mentioned in an earlier blog, our Council holds cookie sales starting in September and ending in early December.\u00a0 Our troop also completed our community service projects this fall.<\/p>\n

\"Daisy<\/a>In October we started on our\u00a03 Cheers for Animals Journey<\/strong>.\u00a0 After spending so much time last year at the Dollar stores and craft stores\u00a0buying supplies for meetings, I decided to purchase a Journey kit from the Making Friends website.\u00a0 You can find\u00a0kits here: MakingFriends.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If your troop has the funds up front to purchase one of these kits, I\u2019d highly recommend it.\u00a0 (I plan to use the kits for my Brownie Journeys too!) It has been a huge time saver for me when planning our meetings.\u00a0 The Journey in a Bag\u00a0kit comes with a meeting guide and all the supplies you need to run the meetings, except for simple things like glue or tape or crayons\/markers.<\/p>\n

\"Daisy<\/p>\n

The kit also includes a mini scrapbook for each scout and my girls have enjoyed adding their coloring sheets to it.\u00a0 I have also added in their scrapbooks several photos of the activities we have completed which makes for a great keepsake.\u00a0\u00a0 Tip: don\u2019t let the scouts take home the scrapbooks until the very last Journey meeting.\u00a0 Otherwise a few of them may get left at home or misplaced.\u00a0 When I award the scouts their Journey badge,\u00a0 they will\u00a0get to take their scrapbooks home to keep.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have been working on this particular\u00a0Journey for several meetings and we will be wrapping it up at our next meeting in January.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some extra things we did with the Journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \"DaisyTook a troop hike.\u00a0 We learned about hiking safety and forest animal safety.\u00a0 Our TAP for the Journey was to make pine cone bird feeders to hang up at home.<\/li>\n
  2. My co-leader invited a friend of hers to come talk to our troop.\u00a0 Her friend has a service dog and he taught our troop about service (and therapy) dogs.\u00a0 Our girls really enjoyed his visit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In November we worked on our community service projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \"DaisyThe troop voted to use the money they received at their cookie booth sales to purchase cookies for our local police department.\u00a0 We collected enough donations to deliver 2 cases of cookies to the police!<\/li>\n
    2. Our big project of the year was to purchase and assemble 100 craft kits for children at Johns Hopkins Children\u2019s hospital.\u00a0 One of our scouts suffered an injury in the spring and spent several weeks at Johns Hopkins.\u00a0 She has recovered and is now back with us and our girls wanted to give back to the hospital that helped to heal their friend.\u00a0 I submitted their story to our local newspaper and the girls were excited to be interviewed by a reporter.\u00a0 I can\u2019t tell you how proud I am of my troop and how thoughtful and considerate they have become.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You can read the article here: Capital Gazette<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \"DaisyIn December we held our holiday party for the troop.\u00a0 They had a blast playing games and doing a \u201cSecret Scout\u201d present exchange. Each girl brought a home made gift which was made from materials they already had around their house \u2013 nothing store bought! They also enjoyed making an ornament to take home.\u00a0 My co-leader found a fantastic ornament craft on Pinterest.<\/p>\n

      We\u2019ll work on our Bridging to Brownies badge requirements in February.\u00a0 My family is moving this spring to another county.\u00a0 We\u2019ll still be in the same Council but obviously in a different Service Unit.\u00a0 I plan to start a new troop in our new hometown \u2013 and this time it will be a split troop: Brownies for my older daughter and a new Daisy troop for my younger daughter!<\/p>\n

      Our current troop is very fortunate to have our 2 co-leaders volunteer to take over leadership of the troop after I move.\u00a0 Our troop plans to bridge to Brownies and then my co-leaders can finish out the year by planning fun meetings and outings and the bridging ceremony.<\/p>\n

      I also plan to continue this blog with the adventures of\u00a0our new Brownie troop and my younger daughter\u2019s new Daisy troop.\u00a0 More to come soon!\u00a0 Scout promise. ????<\/p>\n

      \r\n
      \r\n <\/p>\n

      \"DaisyI grew up in a very active scouting family; with my brothers and sister we were all involved in Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts!\u00a0 Now happily married with 3 wonderful children; 2 girls and a boy, I\u2019m looking forward to scouting with my family all over again.<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      \n

      My Mom was my leader and led a dynamic troop and is, in fact, my inspiration for what I\u2019m doing now with my daughters. \u00a0 As a girl I loved being a Brownie, Junior and Cadette and the highlight of my years as a scout was a troop trip we spend years planning and fundraising for: Juliette Gordon Low\u2019s birthplace in Savannah, GA. \u00a0So it\u2019s been a dream of mine to be my daughter\u2019s leader (as my Mom was mine). \u00a0I decided to share my experiences on this blog<\/a><\/strong> to assist and encourage other new leaders. \u00a0All leaders should abide by the scout regulations and complete all required troop training. \u00a0This blog is not to replace scout regulations or training \u2013 it\u2019s only meant to give helpful tips for meeting plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
