Inventors!

At our last meeting, we earned the inventors patch.

First, we had to get our minds ready by coming up with different ideas to turn these circles into.  

The girls had some great ideas. 

Next, we had to come up with new ideas for others to repeat in a game. 

Next we talked about how women took everyday problems and turned them into inventions!

So then we got to work.  Our job was to design a tower to hold books.  The girls either had to make their tower be a cylinder, cube, or triangle.  Then they had to start stacking books to see how many their towers could hold. 

Their next job was to create a boar made out of foil to see how many pennies their boats could hold before sinking. 

Then they worked with a partner to design a bridge made out of toothpicks and marshmallows. 

Some of the the bridges were not working so we had them design towers instead. 

We had fun and learned things on how to invent or take ideas and make them even better!

Beauty and the Beast!

Today we had fun day and we took the girls to see our high school's spring musical which was "Beauty and the Beast."

We went with my Daisy troop too.  It was a lot of fun!

World Thinking Day!

We did a World Thinking Day at our school this weekend! It was all the troops from our school.

Every troop chose a country to share and teach others about.  We taught them a game or song, shared a food from that country, and made SWAPS.

Our troop did France this year.  We even got the girls some barets.  

We taught them how to play a game too.  It's like a French version of hopscotch. 

Here is our backboard.

We lined up in the hall for the opening ceremony. 

We had an official flag ceremony too which was neat.

Here is what our Thinking Day looked like!

Soon it was underway and the girls were split into groups and ready to begin. 

We had lots of other countries there too including Cambodia,

Ireland, 

Italy, 

Norway,

India, 

Poland,

Here are some of our girls teaching the others how to play our French game.

We had a snack table as one of the stations and the girls got to sample food from other countries.

Here are all the girls from this years Thinking Day!

It was a lot of fun and we are excited for next year!
