Girl Scouts
We are a troop of over 30 Daisies (K-1) and Brownies (2-3).
We meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from September-May, 6pm-7:30pm in the LaSalle cafeteria. Meeting time is mostly badge work time - we have various special guests and parent helpers present different badges - next year our badge plan includes: Making Friends, Pets, Snacks, Computer Expert, Philanthropist, Meet My Customers, Dance, Senses, Home Scientists, Household Elf and Bridging.
We do field trips 1-2x per month, our fall field trips will be : Halloween Parade, Cooking class at Mi Casa Su Casa, sleepover at Reading Museum, Stargazing with Lehigh Astrological Society.
Nothing is mandatory, some girls attend every single meeting and trip, some attend only meetings, or only trips depending on other activities. Some attend 1x per month and that is all. It is up to you how 'in' you want to be.
We emphasize community service, doing several service activities each year. Last year we did a candy collection for the military, hosted an Angel Tree for foster kids, participated in the Memorial day service and then used our cookie money to fund several activities.
We are girl led -the girls vote on badges, trips etc. They also manage the budget, they decide how much to allocate to 'day to day spending', how much to save for trips and how much to spend on 'others' (last year we sponsored a dog and cat adoption fee, bought books for the library, toys for foster kids and created a scholarship to send a girl to summer camp). They also vote on 'cookie trips'. This years cookie trips are Great Wolf Lodge for a day, Legoland, Elmwood Zoo and a Skating party - cookie trips are 100% funded by cookie money (no cost to you at all). Other trips we ask parents to chip in but we try to keep costs low - last year if your daughter attended every single activity and event and went to both camps you would have been out around $90 for the whole year. We camp 1-2x per year.
