Daisy Girl Scouts

For the past 8 weeks Ally has attended a Daisy Girl Scout program on Monday nights with her old friend Stella and her new school friend Adalis. It is right in our neighborhood, literally across the street from my office and across from a local watering hole. Stella's mom and I, and sometimes Becky drop the girls off and have a drink while the girls attend the hour long program. It was a blast - for the girls and for the moms!

On the last night of the program parents were invited to a brief presentation the girls did of what they had learned and the girls were awarded their badge. Above we are all squished in on the couch for a picture with their certificates of completion.

Ally and Stella told us about their poster.

Each week they did a craft or project that pertained to the badge curriculum "5 flowers, 4 stories and 3 cheers for animals"

They colored pictures of animals and talked about where they lived and how they ate.

This was a flip book they made one week

The session ended but the volunteers have agreed to run another session starting the end of January. Becky and I were both girl scouts and have fond memories of it growing up and its really neat to pass that along. One of the things I really appreciate about this was Ally looked forward to it each Monday, and she did it without us with a couple of her existing friends and some new friends she made. She is already excited about the next session.
