Gingerbread Houses!

We had our own little holiday party at Brownies the other day. We made gingerbread houses!

We surprised the girls with all the goodies and they were very excited.  They each got their own plate with a tagboard house and tub of frosting.  They also each got a whole bag full of goodies to decorate including marshmallows, M&M's, chocolate chips, licorice. and peppermints.  

They got busy right away.

See how the final products came out....

Christmas Tree Decorating!

A week ago our troop joined with other troops from our school and had some Christmas fun!

There were older Junior and Cadette scouts there leading the fun.  First up was a game of "Do you wanna build a snowman?"

The girls had fun and the snowmen turned out adorable!

We had made ornaments prior to meeting so the girls were super excited to hang them on the tree at school!  

We are so lucky to have such great girls!

After we took our turn decorating the tree, it was time to play some Candyland!

Then of course we got to have snacks and get tattoos!  This is our Daisy friend Olivia!

These are all the Girl Scouts of Wesmere!  That's a whole bunch!

We closed out the night by doing one big friendship circle.

Library Trip!

Last week our troop took a trip to the library. We just completed our Take Action project on encouraging others to read.  We met up with a librarian who was going to teach us more about books and teach us about the library.  (The girls showed up in P.J.'s because it was part of Red Ribbon Week at school.)

The librarian first us a story about the gingerbread man in the library.  

Then she went through the Youth section explaining and showing us where different things were.

Then she brought us back to explain to us a scavenger hunt we would be doing.  It would help the girls become more familiar with locating books in the library by using the Dewey Decimal System.

The girls had so much fun locating different books.  Most of them didn't finish the hunt but they got to take this sheets with them to bring back and finish another time.

Thank you Joliet Public Library!
