December Meeting


We will hold our second (and last) meeting of the year today in the Art Room. We'll be making a bird seed pine cone feeder that will help supplement the food supply of our woodland and feathery creatures. A gift from the girls to nature during this season of giving and sharing. 

To go with our theme, I made a yummy "bark" cookie for snack. We'll also review the girls scout promise and law. Keep practicing these with your daughter when you can - in the car, on a walk, etc. If we have time, we'll play "Duck-Duck Goose" to round out the nature-theme meeting.

Happy holidays to all and see you in 2013!
