Girl Scout Troop 33607: July 2008

Summer Camp 2008 came and went so fast! We had a wonderful time swimming, boating, hiking, and sleeping in covered wagons. Well, some of us enjoyed the sleeping arrangements more than others. Did you know spiders like covered wagons too?!?!?

Some senior girl scouts taught us how to make solar ovens. We kept them for our troop kit to use at future camp outs. We also received our cookie awards and camp T shirts.

You'll be receiving a formal invitation in the mail w/directions and a list of things to pack. This event takes place at my mom's cousin's house. It's an HGTV spread with an inground pool, outdoor bar/grill, fire circle, and a cabin with a Wii where we'll spend the night. It's located near Butlerville, but for the girls' safety, I don't want to post directions on our website. Keep your eyes on your mailbox! We're doing pot luck for this event, so please plan accordingly.

It's almost time to start a new year for our troop!
Parents are beginning to ask when we'll start meeting again. I usually give the girls September to get used to their new classrooms and schedules. By then, the bus garage has a good idea of the bus with the most room to transport our girls from school to Morrow UMC for our meetings. So you can watch for details in your email box around mid September. I plan to schedule alternating Mondays after school, as usual.

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:
