At this meeting, we worked on our pet badge! I knew the girls would be excited about this as many of them are animal lovers. First up, they got to research a pet of their choice. They got to choose from cat, dog, fish, bird, turtle, iguana, hamster, and even mice! They had to research how to take care of it, what it eats, how to keep it clean, and how to keep it healthy.
For this meeting, the girls had to bring a shoebox and a small stuffed animal.
Oh yes, we did finish our Take Action Project as part of our Brownie Quest Journey! Each girl researched a famous woman who made a difference. We put this information into a quilt square to combine all our patches to make a quilt.
We are pretty proud of our work and the quilt is hanging in the library at our school so we can teach others about these famous women!
Also, as part of our pet badge, we had to make a place for our pets to sleep. So each girl got a piece of fleece and we tied the ends to make a pet bed.
The girls were very excited about this part!
The girls finished ahead of schedule so we watched a quick video on choosing a pet and the responsibilities that come with it.
Here are the proud pet owners. Before they left our meeting, they had to sign a pet contract that stated they would take care of their pet for a week. On the backside of it was a responsibility chart that they need to fill out.
This made us very excited for our next meeting....a field trip to PetsMart!
