Laura earned her last two Daisy Scout petals at her meeting today. The girls listened to the story of Rosie and then discussed real life examples of how to make the world a better place. Since the “Clean Up Columbia” activity was the day before, the girls were filled with great examples.
A little over halfway through the meeting, the Brownies came into the room and taught the girls the “Brownie Smile Song.” I was amused to realize that I still remembered it *without* reading the words. Needless to say, Laura is very excited about bridging to Brownies especially after learning a “real, live Brownie song!” The girls wrapped up the meeting by listening to the story of Clover and discussing how to use resources wisely. One way to do that is to recycle. As an activity, the girls used leftover crafting supplies from this past year to create new and fun items. Laura made binoculars out of pipe cleaners and toilet paper. She is going to use them to help her spot trash around our neighborhood and help to clean up our little corner of the world. Love that girl!
