It was a more scaled back but fun Spring with our Girl Scout troop. Cadet's worked on their Tree Badge, Havana as the only Junior went to the Zoo for her Animal Habitats Badge and Brownies did some work on their journey. Together we learned new songs, did some crafts, went ice skating at the Schultz Museum for fun on the ice and work on the naturalist badge. We did a some communication workshop, completed the comic artist badge as well as partaking in some science based events. Fun combined with valuable skills that support these amazing girls in being who they are meant to be.
We had not hiked recently and that poking at me. It's important for the girls to get outside in the natural world so before we went out for our post cookie sale dinner celebration we took a lovely hike by the Pinole beach front. The girls are growing up fast but it was lovely to witness how they still appreciate nature, will pick up trash and look out for each other. Some of these girls have been in together since day one (seven years ago!) and other's new, yet they still see each other as their Girl Scout sisters!
Next year the girls want to sell even more cookies (oy vey) and/or fund raise so we can do some traveling. Cadets will work on their Silver badge and our newly bridged to Juniors will work on their journey as well. We may be brave to tackle the Bronze badge for them. Either way, it's Girl Lead and we always have a really good time.
