Laura has had Girl Scout meetings and activities throughout the summer, but today she actually had all her new Brownie materials. It took me quite a while to iron on all the patches, but her vest is now done and ready for meetings!
Today, Laura’s Brownie troop met at the public library. The girls began work on the “World of Girls” Journey badge. Journey badges take a very long time to earn and are truly a “journey.” There are four different ones that they can earn. As part of the “World of Girls” badge, the troop will learn all about different countries around the world. They got to begin with France and were lucky enough to have a special guest at their meeting, Ms. Suby, who took a trip to France just this past summer. Ms. Suby works at Ridgeway Elementary and the girls all thought it was “awesome” that someone they know got to go to France. They very much enjoyed hearing Ms. Suby’s stories and seeing her pictures.
Also, the girls worked some more on the “Snack” badge. Each girl brought in a fruit or vegetable to share. The girls learned different facts about each fruit or vegetable and talked about food miles. They should complete the Snack badge in September. On to another great year of Girl Scouting!
