Cadette Corner: Busy Bees

Asalaamu Alaikum

The Cadette Troop has been very busy this year, Alhumdulillah, from completing multiple badges (Cadette programing) to camping (Girl Scout traditions) to team building and just fun. Here are some highlights:

Science of Happiness. Sis Nazaahah Amin-Saahir gave a great yoga class at our lodge camping weekend in January. Sis Nazaahah, owner and operator of Ama Designs, helped our girls use yoga as a way to promote happiness and stay positive through life’s highways and byways.

aMaze Take Action Projects. We have 15 girl that are currently working on their aMaze Journey Take Action projects. A Take Action project — the final step in all Girls Scout journeys — is the sustainable project that a girl or group of girls can do that deals with the subject matter of the Journey. The aMaze journey teaches girls about relationships and how to navigate them.

Breathe Journey. Eleven girls attended the GSCNC Cadette Breathe Journey weekend in March with 150 other girls at Potomac Woods to fulfill requirements of the Breathe Journey. These girls are now eligible to complete the Breathe Journey with a Take Action project focusing on air and the environment.

Media Journey. In April, some Cadettes will be participating in the Media Journey at Gadsby’s Tavern Museum where they will complete the journey that night. For those girls who cannot attend, Sis. Hakeemah Cummings will discuss Muslim Women in media and blogging with the girls.

Service Unit 22-6 Encampment at Camp Letts, May 1 – 3

Asalaamu Alaikum,

Camping, a true Girl Scout tradition, is an opportunity for girls to learn new skills, hang out with old friends, and meet new friends. Troop 3480 will be joining Service Unit 22-6 this year at Camp Letts on May 1 – 3, 2015.

YMCA Camp Letts is located on a 219 acre peninsula on an inlet off the Chesapeake Bay that overlooks three islands and a 2,600 acre preserve that has served as the backdrop for over 100 summers of land and aquatic adventures

All levels can participate in encampment activities, but Daisies are limited to the day program. Dues must be paid in full. We must also meet girl/adult ratios per group. To ensure your daughter’s participation, parents should commit to becoming a registered Girl Scout volunteer and join the adventure.
