Celebrate Juliette Low’s Halloween Birthday with a service project!<\/h2>\n

It’s the spookiest time of year, which gives us several activity options. Before having a Halloween party, we\u00a0sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to Juliette Low to remind our Girl Scouts that October 31st<\/sup>\u00a0isn’t just Halloween. Last October, we decided to celebrate not only Juliette Low’s birthday but also the first born baby in our town on that day.<\/p>\n

It is not only Juliette Low’s Birthday on October 31st<\/h2>\n

We collected baby supplies and made several gift baskets.\u00a0We also included a daisy journey book and a cute outfit that said future Daisy Girl Scout. We contacted\u00a0our local hospital and asked if we could donate a\u00a0basket\u00a0to the first baby girl born on October 31st.<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0We ended up with two large baskets and 3 bags full of baby supplies to donate!<\/p>\n

After the mom and baby came home from the hospital, we made arrangements to take all the baby baskets to their home. The mom was so excited and the girls felt great getting to help a single mom with two other children.<\/p>\n

Celebrating Juliette Low’s Birthday with a Party<\/h2>\n

Our party isn’t just a celebration for Juliette\u2014sometimes, we celebrate the birthdays of everyone in\u00a0our troop! We place several small gifts on a table with a numbered container in front of each gift. As the girls played games, we awarded them two tickets for winning, and one to the others for participating. The girls write their name on each ticket and put it in the container\u00a0in front of the gift she would like to win. At end of our party, we draw a ticket for the winners!\u00a0Since we have a large group with many leaders, we always have a table with a few things for leaders to win.\u00a0They do a lot of work, and feel they deserve a chance for gifts too.<\/p>\n

During our party, we play games. One game\u00a0is the \u201cWright Troop Celebrates Juliette Low\u2019s Birthday\u201d:\u00a0\u00a0Each girl starts with a trinket or a piece of candy. I read out loud the story below. When the words WRIGHT or RIGHT are read, the girls pass the trinket or piece of candy to the girl on their right. When the word LEFT is read, girls pass to the left. I pause a moment after each of these words giving time for passing. I always say the word a little louder so the girls pick up on it. At the end of the game, the girls get to keep the\u00a0item they have in their hands. I also have a couple funny\u00a0items to pass as well.<\/p>\n
