First, we ate a snack of yummy cupcakes and goldfish. Than we cleaned up snack to play a fun game. We dressed up as people in the past for the game. There were girls as Besty Ross and, baseball players and also, Coco Chanel!! We had lots of fun with this game. You guessed who they were and they gave us clues.

Tina Green wins some Green!

We got second place in the scarecrow contest! Woo-hoo! Great job girls. Thanks for all your hard work and getting out to vote! Now we can use our prize to celebrate with a pizza party!

Write Away

First, Libby brought our snack. We ate delicious brownies and pretzels.


We sat in a circle and took turns making up a story. One of the stories was about a penguin named Phil, it was funny. Then we picked penpals from our old friend Grace Healey's new troop in Ohio. We wrote our new pals letters on special stationary. We addressed and stamped our letters.




Then we did our friendship squeeze and we all went out to play on the playground. I love Brownies!

Love, Kate

Scarecrow at the library

Today we went to the library and tied the scarecrow to a tree.
And then we put sunglasses on it and put other stuff on it too. Brownies is a blast.
We had a great time doing it. I wish Brownies never ended.

Creating Tina Green the recylcing queen!

We had a nice turnout for our scarecrow building party. The girls were very enthusiastic about creating a scarecrow made from only recyclable materials. We will be meeting at 10:00 on Saturday morning to set the scarecrow up at the libary so even if you missed the building, you can come help on Saturday. Then next Saturday the 25th make sure you come to the library and support Tina "Green!"

First Meeting

First we ate snack. Next the brownie leaders put us with a friend. We learned about our friends and made friendship pins.

Then the leaders put us in groups of 3 so we could decide which badge to lead the troop in. My group chose the Friends are Fun badge.

Then we went to the rug and talked about the Scarecrow Contest at the library. We talked about what we should put on our scarecrow. We chose recyling.

Then we stood up and sang the songs, I've Got Something in My Pocket and Make New Friends. Then we did our friendship squeeze. We played out on the playground until it was time to go home.

We had lots of fun. I wish Brownies never ended.

Important Information

We have sent several emails in the past few weeks and apparently none of the Comcast email subscribers are getting their emails regarding Brownies. If you have Comcast you may need to use the blog as your information source for upcoming meetings. Also, you may want to try to contact Comcast to determine why the Brownie emails are not getting through (we have tried from different email addresses) or check you SPAM folders. You may also subscribe to this blog so you will be notified whenever a new post is made. I will send an email as well.

Please read the following for information you may have missed.

Our first meeting will be October 7 at Camp Lyndon (yellow art building) from 4:15 until 5:30. We will meet every other Tuesday from then on.

Dues are $30 and payable at the first meeting (this replaces the $2 per meeting dues we have done in the past).

Brownie Vests may be purchased in the basement of Puritan Clothing in Hyannis. You will also need an American Flag patch, insignia tab, trefoil pin, Brownie pin, Brownie council ID set (says Girl Scouts of America and the council of SE MASS), and our troop numbers 782. The staff at Puritans are very helpful and can give you everything you need as well as show you a picture in the catalog of what the vest should look like.

There is a Girl Scout event this Saturday night at Heritage Museums and Gardens. It is a family movie night starting at 6:30. The movie will be Surfs Up and tickets are $4 for children and $5 for adults. Let us know if you plan to attend. Wear your vests!
