- First we went over the Girl Scout promise and law. The girls talked about what it means to them and how we can all try to live by these rules. We will be going over different sections of the law at our next meetings.
- The Brownies said their promise and we all introduced ourselves. We sang "I've Got Something in My Pocket." The girls sounded great!
- We talked about selling cookies and how the money we raise will help us do more fun events throughout the year. We also got to sample the new berry cookie!
- The Brownies took turns writing rules for the year. Each girl signed her name. We'll go over these rules each time. Some of them are no shoving, listen to the adults and be nice. Good rules!
- We will be collecting coins throughout the year to save up for a party/donate to an as yet undecided charity. The girls talked about wanting to help people who don't have a lot of money so part of the money will go to that. The girls can bring quarters, dimes, whatever. It doesn't have to be a lot, we just want to have them work toward something.
- We sang "Taps" to close the first meeting.
One important note, if you could please make sure your Brownie has used the restroom before the meeting. Once one Brownie has to go, every Brownie has to go. We want to get a lot of activities accomplished in our next meeting and a special craft, and since an adult has to accompany a girl to the restroom, this cuts down on the time for instruction and time for the Brownie to finish her special craft. Of course we'll still take Brownies to the restroom if they need to go!!! It's just that a lot of our time in the first meeting was spent taking girls to the restroom.
If you'd like to practice the Brownie Smile Song here are they lyrics:
I've got something in my pocket,
That belongs across my face,
I keep it very close at hand,
In a most convenient place.
I'm sure you couldn't guess it,
If you guessed a long long while.
So I'll take it out and put it on,
It's a great big Brownie smile!
