It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!

Brownie Troop 3607 rang in the New Year by attending the Girl Scout Cookie Kickoff at Wright State University on Saturday, January 5. We enjoyed games, activities, and cookie samples sponsored by area Girl Scouts. We watched the Lady Raiders basketball team play Green Bay. After the game, the girls enjoyed meeting the players and getting autographs. (More pics below...)

Many (including me) have expressed frustration at trying to keep up with all those patches that need to go on our Brownie's vest. Patch Attach is a product you can buy online that's like glue and will keep your patch in place. It's available online for $6.99:

Remember, Try-it patches (triangular shape) go on the front of the vest. Activity patches go on the back.
