I am truly looking forward to this year and anticipate great things happening for the girls.

Our primary goal is to work with the girls to encourage them to believe in themselves, to build on our

Character education and to help them realize their fullest potential. I have looked at many activities that will

Reinforce a lot of skills and strengths we all hope to see them exhibit. I will update this site regularly and will

have the girls with access to a computer maintain the the newsletter on a rotational basis,

We will focus a lot this year on independence and strengthening our leadership capabilities, while

encouraging creativity and sharpening of their thinking ability. The girls will work in patrols to complete

some of the badges they will be working on this year. They will also be challenged to work on individual

badges of their choosing. I would like to introduce the girls to some new things to try such as cultural debates

in team groups and learning history about their communities, We will work on the book badge in hopes

strengthening their reading skills while encouraging their love to read. Our service project will be determined

with the girls input. Just to name a few things. I have listed a few badges of interest for the year and will

always be looking for input. Thank you for all of your support in the past and I look forward to working with

you this year. We are more successful with your support. Our meetings will be held every other Friday night

through the months of October and January. In January we will start our Junior level troop meeting with the

other Junior troops. Our next meeting scheduled for October 15, will be with the girls only to plan our year

, and their activities. I will discuss our plans for the year in more detail with you on November 1^st at our first

Parents Meeting Hooray! Please come with ideas and any questions I can answer. We offer a wonderful

youth Bible study for any girls wanting to attend on the Fridays we do not meet. I will give a badge to any

girls attending the Bible Study Class.   Please let me know if you decide to go.
