Meeting 4
Meeting 4-
Do you know what geocaching is? Geocaching is basically a treasure hunt for a hidden container with goodies or logs of whos been there. For our meeting, we used GPS systems to locate a cache filled with goodies. We learned about lines of latitude and longitude, compass points, and the equipment used to track. The girls found all sorts of treats- silly bands, hair bands, necklaces and much more!
As part of World Thinking Day, our troop is participating in a postcard exchange with a troop in Texas. We wrote postcards telling them about each of us.
After that, we discussed the Doodle 4 Google creative project. We brainstormed about careers and then began drawing our submissions for the doodle project. Crossing fingers that one of us wins...

We are officially a group....
Our very first meeting was held on January 16, 2011. We had a total of 7 girls join the troop. Our meeting was about all things cookies. We made name cards and then played a name game as an ice breaker.
Name Game
Using a blanket-2 leaders stand in front of each other gripping a blanket end. Split group into 2 groups and have the girls take turns being the it person. When the "it" girls are ready ...drop the blanket and the first girl to call out the name wins a point for their team.
The girls made a display board with their handprints in a rainbow to be used at booths.
