At this meeting, the girls completed the "Ready, Set, Go Camping" Try-It. We played camping bingo and discussed items that we would need to take with us on a camping trip. Each girl was also given a bandanna. We discussed all the ways that a bandanna could be used: head scarf, cool wrap around the neck, a way to carry food, and a tourniquet for first aid.
We also earned the "Make It, Eat It" Try-It. For their craft, each girl was given the supplies needed to make their own recipe book. These came out really cute. For the make it, eat it-They made Fruit Fun Fizz with Pineapple, Orange, and Cranberry Juices mixed with Ginger Ale. They also made fruit kabobs with pineapples, bananas, and grapes.
It was a nice afternoon, so we ended the meeting on the playground.

MEETING NOVEMBER 20, 2010
BROWNIES HAVE SKILLS
On October 23, 2010 we attending Brownies Have Skills at Camp Wistogoman. The girls learned about some of the skills Brownies need to have while camping. We took a hike through the woods and discussed how important it is to "leave no trace". We should leave nature just how it is, so others can enjoy it. The girls were also taught how to build a fire. This was demonstrated by making an edible fire out of marshmallows, pretzel sticks, and hot tamales. This was a fun activity for the girls. The last thing learned was knot tying. Each girl was given a rope and was taught how to tie different knots. It was confusing at first, but the scouts got the hang of it!
This was a very fun day out doors. The skills learned here will help the scouts earn the "Ready, Set, Go Camping" Try-It.
MEETING OCTOBER 23RD, 2010
The girls earned the "Let's Pretend" Try-It Badge. Each girl came to the meeting in their Halloween Costume. We made masks with feathers and sequins and participated in a game of charades. Each girl had the opportunity to "act out" and the others had to guess what they were doing. It was alot of fun. At the end of our meeting, the girls made a Halloween trail mix for a snack.
