Holiday Service Project

Our girls did an awesome job filling 24 stockings for Utah foster kids. They were very happy each of them got to make a difference in a child's life!

Lions and Tigers.. no bears

Our troop had a wonderful amazing, elephant petting time at the zoo! Thank you Laura and Bo Bo the clown for all the work and the amazing photos (soon available for each girl via CD!)

Wet fun!

Last night we did a marathon meeting at an Ogden Park to finish up bits and pieces of 8 badges. We started by making our own hobo dinners, sun tea, and dutch oven brownies. We then moved on to making a plan, reading a map, reviewing a compass, talking about proper clothing, warm up/stretching, cool down, taking note of wild life, talking about our state animals and reviewing plants we found... oh yeah and a 1 mile hike/walk. We ended our hike/walk just as the thunder started! We were able to eat our yummy food under the pavilion and finish by drawing a map of the walk.hike we had just finished. Even with the rain we managed to make smores and reward the girls for all the badges they have earned. It was a lot of fun and a meeting none of the leaders will soon forget!!
Badges completed are: Fun & Fit, Walking for Fitness, Finding Your Way, Hiker, Outdoor Cook, Outdoors in the City, Wildlife, and Your Outdoor Surroundings.

Camp Cloud Rim

Camp was great! Water fun, hiking, arts, crafts, games and food.. really good food! The girls were all fantastic, they all were comfortable camping and the adults even got to sleep! A wonderful time was had by all!

Dancin' Threw the Ages

Day Camp was a hudge success!! We had 9 our girls at camp and while there we danced, did loads of fun crafts, ate yummie food, and of course did kapers! The two badges the girls completed are Dance and Art to Wear.

SLC

The animals were cute, the new friends are cuddly, we learned new things and saw the stars! Our SLC outing was blast!

SLC Outing

Yeah! Our first big outing is here.
We will meet at Cathy's 8am on Saturday. We need for each child to bring water, sun block, vests, close toed shoes, and if wanted extra money above what we are covering. We will be doing tortilla wraps for lunch and something like McDonald's for dinner. If you child wants something else you will need to provide that too.
We are looking forward to a great day!

The Works Camp

Yippie! School is almost out and we are planning a summer of fun events! With cookies credit to everyone by now, we need to collect the $30 of the girls portion to cover camp. We need to have all monies sent to GS of Utah by May 25.
We have had a concern come up about why we are asking for cookie credit money. Camp is $65 per girl, if the troop were to cover the whole cost it would be $975. With the girls netting about $1600 that doesnt leave much to plan the other 11.75 months of the year. The reason we chose $30 was that there was at least $30 of cookie booth cookies added to each girls final total. So that $30 was a bonus to each girl. We are seeing a lot of parents paying for day camp with last years cookie credits and over all have gotten feedback that this $30 is worth it. If you have any questions please let on of the leaders know.

No More Homless Pets

If you read this before our next meeting please call Kim. She has some of the fylers that we can pass out for Strut Your Mutt!

Cookies are done!!

We did it! 3 days of selling cookies are we are done! We had about 5 cases of cookies to donate to The Road Home and these will go done to them sometime next week. Great job to all of the girls we made over $1600 this year on cookies.. now the fun of spending the money!

Bronze Award

The Girl Scout Bronze Award, is the highest honor a Junior Girl Scout can earn, it requires her to learn the leadership and planning skills necessary to follow through on a project that makes a positive impact on her community. Working toward this award demonstrates her commitment to helping others, improving her community and the world and becoming the best she can be. Your Troop 100 Leaders are helping guide our girls in this project but this is not a project we can do for them. Each of them must do this for themselves. If for whatever reason she does not complete the project this year all continuing Junior Scouts can do another project starting next Girl Scout Year (beginning in October). The girls must complete 4 tasks to earn the Bronze Award. The girls selected activities to complete those tasks. They are:

Task 1: Complete 2 badges
They will complete Pet Care and Plants and Animals.
Troop leaders will plan meetings so the girls can complete these two badges.
Task 2: Complete 1 sign
The scouts have all completed at least 1 sign.
Task 3: Earn the Leadership or Junior Aide award.
Parents will need to help the girls complete one of these awards. Cathy sent forms home with each girl that explains the activities they must complete.
For the Leadership Award, the girls are all in the process of earning their Leadership pin. The pin is awarded to each of the girls for completing their leadership to the troop so they will need to complete the remaining tasks with you. Please help your daughter(s) complete this and bring it in so we can pass it off.
Task 4: Complete a service project
The girls are to perform a minimum of 15 hours of service to complete this task. Each girl will need to track how many hours she spends on the project. The girls have chosen No More Homeless Pets of Utah (NMHP) for their project. NMHP has given us some options for activities that will count toward service time. The girls do not have to do them all as long as they complete 15 hours and show their own personal leadership to complete their part of the project. Here are the options:
 Hand out flyers. NMHP will provide us with flyers in April for their Super Adoption and late April/early May for their Strut Your Mutt program. The girls will have to distribute the flyers at a certain time in certain locations.
 Help at the Super Adoption at Pets Mart in Salt Lake between May 4 and 6 and help walk and take care of the animals that are up for adoption. This activity requires there is one adult to two girls for the kids’ and the animals’ safety. Please sign the attached form if this is something you would like to help with and/or your daughter(s) would like to attend.
 Help at Strut Your Mutt on May 19 at Sugarhouse Park in SLC. The park is donated for this fund raising event and for this to continue, NMHP has to clean it up. Our girls can help clean up the park from noon to 3pm. If you want to take your own dog, the activity starts at 8:30am. More information is available at the NMHP web site (http://www.utahpets.org/strut.html)
 Each girl can create a “Treat, Food and (gently used) Toy drive”. The girls must create their own flyer, be responsible to call family and friends and work with their parents to work out what best fits their family on how to complete this drive. All donations of treats and food will be split between the Ogden animal shelter and NMHP. All toys will go to the Ogden animal shelter (NMHP doesn't take them). All of the items donated for the drive will need to be brought to the meeting on May 2 so we can deliver them.

We are very excited to assist the girls in completing this Award. If you have any questions please let Cathy, Kim or Laura know. Thank you for your support!
