Daisy Meeting #8

Whew! We jam packed a lot in today and it was amazing! The girls were also SO excited when I told them that we would be meeting twice this month! Ahhh...the little things:).

First, we had a yummy snack and celebration since it was Trinity's last meeting with us. 

Then, we reviewed respecting authority and wrote a "Thank You" card to the officers. 

After that, we packed our Comfort Kits for the Isle of Wight Shelter. We also made cards for the bags. We earned 4 leaf badges that will be sewn on our vest (look on the Girl Scout Information tab for a picture of where they go). 

Next, we worked on our "Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout" Petal. This is the darker pink one to glue next to the light blue. We also earned a fun badge to attach to the back of our uniform. 

Finally, we wrote cards to another Daisy troop in the county and made these cute pin S.W.A.P.S. 

Here is some background info:

Swaps, the tradition of Girl Scouts exchanging keepsakes, started long ago when Girl Scouts and Girl Guides first gathered for fun, song, and making new friends. Swaps were widely exchanged at national Girl Scout Senior Roundups in the 1950's and 1960's. In more recent years, some Girl Scouts describe the types of objects now preferred as swaps by calling them: Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere. Swaps are still the perfect way for Girl Scouts to meet each other and promote friendship. Each one is a memory of a special event or Girl Scout Sister. http://www.girlscouts.org/who_we_are/facts/swaps/
