Meeting reminder & other incidentals

Hi all!  It's that time again - our next meeting is Tuesday 10/9/12 from 6-7:15pm in the Primary cafeteria.  Please note that this year's meeting doesn't end until 7:15 - we understand if you have to leave early, but we are scheduling the meeting to run just a little longer in order to get nearly 20 girls through all their activities. 

You will notice we have more leaders this year - with such a large troop, we needed more help!  Niki and I will remain the main leaders, but we are so glad to welcome our new co-leaders Devon (Madelyn's mom), Teri (Sophia's mom), and Rebekah (Kaylee's mom).  We still appreciate the parents that stay for the meeting to keep the social conversations at a low volume and to help us track girls escaping out of the cafeteria.  Keeping an eye on 20 wiggly girls is a challenge & we appreciate everyone's extra eyes!

This blog has the most information about upcoming events, insignia placement, earning extra badges, as well as a copy of the emails I send out, so check back regularly.  We also have a Facebook page (search Troop 3412 & ask to join the closed group), which we post pictures of activities as well as a copy of the emails sent to the group.

The girls are scheduled to earn all or part of a badge at every meeting, so it is important for her to attend if possible. If she does not attend and still wants to receive credit for the badge we worked on, please contact Misty about what she needs to do to make up the badge. Brownies badges require more work than the Daisy badges, but are still easily made up.

For our meeting next Tuesday, we asked parents to pitch in and help us with a list of items so the girls can create their own trail mix and drink.  Below is the list as it stands now - if you can fill in one of the blank spots, please let me know!  Thanks to those who have already signed up!

Package of M&M's - Grace Koop
Package of peanuts - **still needed**

We enjoyed meeting our newest Brownie, Kaylee last meeting and are looking forward to welcoming another new Brownie, Sarah this week.  We will plan on having an Investiture ceremony in November for our new girls.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!
