Additional Notes:
Today we welcomed several of our adults to join us for a Thank You Party of sorts. Girls played an animal guessing game with the adults. Girls reflected on Earth Day Festival Field Trip and answered questions. We also planted seeds in egg cartons- remember to keep the soil moist- rain water works best. You can collect it in a jar. Badge Books were handed out. For information about Badge Books, click here. We briefly discussed Austin Lemonade Day. I am hoping each of you will register for this event, pick up your free kit, and be your child's adult mentor for the May 2 event. Advertise by making signs for your neighborhood and calling all of your friends and family. This counts as pg. 23 Careers Try It Activity #6. The awesome part is that that the girl gets to keep 100% of the profits. I am encouraging the girls to donate this money to their troop so that we can fund future field trips and community service projects. However, the girls are free to do whatever they choose with their money.
Special Thank Yous to:
-Atalli's Dad for providing us with the binders for our Badge Books.
-Troop Pantry snack contributions: Mikayla's Grampa and someone I didn't see.
-Gloriana, 1) for being our Assistant Leader, and 2) for making that delicious cake.
-Gloriana, Adriana, Ariana, and Atalli for the lovely card and the Wildflower book. What a perfect gift!
-And thank you for the plant. I'd list it's name, but the plant tag got dropped into the darkness of the backseat and I'll have to recover it later. :)

Original Post:
Thursday, April 22 is not just Earth Day, but it's also a Girl Scout Holiday: Leader's Day!
Girl Scout Leader Day began on April 22, 1982, when a flag honoring Girl Scout leaders was flown over the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
Leader's Day honors all the adult Girl Scout volunteers that work with our Girls. It is because of these thousands of volunteers that the Girl Scout program a success.
One of the best ways a Girl can show her appreciation is by living her commitment to the Girl Scout Law:
![]()
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will not be meeting on Thursday, so we will celebrate Leader's Day at our Monday 4/19 meeting by hosting a Volunteers' Party. We'll be at the River Road Baptist Church at 6pm. We invite all the adults of our troop (especially the ones that are Registered Girl Scouts!) to attend. This will be more of an Activity Day than a full-blown party. All the activities we have planned for today are designed to be done with a grown-up buddy!
You can help that special Girl Scout in your life work towards a badge- and you might even earn one yourself!
The girls are eager to prove that they can, indeed, be friendly, caring, responsible, fair, resourceful, and helpful little Brownies.
