It’s that time again for Girl Scout cookies. The kick off dates for the Girl Scout cookies is scheduled for January 5th. We will be selling cookies up to January 21st. The cookies will be delivered to the Girl Scout Council from February 17 – 22. The pick-up date for Service Area 4 – Troop 134 will be announced at a later date.
We will provide cookie training for the girls and parents on the December 18th. We will also have our GS Christmas party on the same night. All parents are asked to bring various dishes or just donate money for various party items. Please see Ms. Cynthia for details.
Congratulations to two of our very own Girl Scouts who will be participating in a Mentoring Program sponsored by Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. for girls 9 – 13 years of age. The program is structured to provide cultural and social experiences in a healthy and safe environment. Troop 134 Girl Scouts are invited to attend the Snowflake Ball on December 17th from 4:30pm to 7:30pm at the Northfield Inn on North Dirksen Parkway. Cynthia, your Girl Scout leader, is a member of this organization and has invited the girl scouts of Troop 134 to attend. This will give the girls an opportunity to experience the event for themselves just in case they would like to participate next year.
The mentoring program provides enrichment programs such as etiquette classes, praise dance and/or drill teams, and wholesome pizza and slumber parties. It is truly a worth while event for the Girl Scouts to participate in. The most exciting treat of all is that the girls will have their picture printed on the calendar. Each girl has walked away with a greater experience than ever before and some girls have chosen to come back another year to participate. The Snowflake Mentoring Program starts in August and ends in December of each year.
The dress attire for the event is church clothes or semi-formal.
The Girl Scouts will be preparing and delivering Toiletry bags for the homeless recipient at the Salvation Army. This community service is scheduled for December 4th. The toiletry bags include various items such as tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, shaving cream, wash cloth, hairbrush, hair comb, disposable shavers, etc. Any other special items for the ladies or the men are welcome. This provides each recipient with their own personal hygiene items without having to share.
