Cookie time!

It's been a great first cookie sale run for our daisy scouts.
We had a great cookie booth success, as well as the door to door and mamas and papas helped tremendously to get little daisies excited about this new experience.
We visited TD bank for a tour to see how a bank runs and to learn about saving our money, just in time to talk about our cookie sale profits and what we will do with them.
With so much to do and talk about, I am sure our next meeting will be buzzing with ideas.

(even the train station is excited!)





Our cookie bundling for our customers at Daddy's office.







Our daisy scout thanks !




Badges are starting to accumulate and according to daddy who is the official badge sewing expert.... "When applying badges, start at the middle and work your way outward. Looks better graphically!"





Honeypie and I worked on learning the value of money at home . We made coin rubbings with crayons and created and played a money game.




















And if you are interested ...

Hmmm

Daisy scout update

I am soooooo excited! Why??? Because being a daisy scout leader rules!!! And even better? Being a daisy scout leader to the most sweetest coolest daisies there are! :)
It's been a busy 3 months !
Tons to do!
We are focusing so far on team work, golden rules, community involvement and environment awareness.

Doing tons of reading...




In October I baked some goodies to share (daisy scout ghosty cake pops)




Daisy scout friends




Made pilgrim bonnets with the troop in November.




In December we made scarves for other children who might need extra warmth this winter. (donated to a charity)







Mama's and daisy scouts worked so hard to make them together! :)
(they are a no-sew fleece pattern)







Made daisy scout Gingerbread christmas tree ornaments.







We made pinecone birdseed treat ornaments for the birdies during this cold winter season.




And...
We learned our Girl scout promise!




We ended the year by having a daisy scout pledge ceremony. Each daisy said the girl scout promise and was invested. They got their daisy pin and daisy blue center for their smocks.




We also went on our first scout fun trip. We went to the movies to see "tangled" and the daisy scouts earned a "movie" fun badge.
Next we will start to work on earning our petals for our daisy. The first one will be the orange petal, "being responsible for what I say and do". We will also start our cookie sales, learn about earning and saving money and start to plan our end of the year trip!
Fun!!
So thankful for all the great Mama's helping out with the troop and so blessed by the enthusiasm everyone seems to share !
Here's to a great 2011!
