Reminder: Ramadan Lock-In Tonight

ramadhanSeniorAsalaamu Alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak!

This is a small reminder about tonight’s lock-in.

This event is for all registered Girls Scouts in Troop 3480: girls from last scouting year and our newly registered girls.

Girls should wear their Girl Scout uniforms. If they do not have vests they should still wear white shirts, khaki bottoms and hijabs.

We are earning our Ramadan patches. Each age group will have items to do tonight and some to bring back later.

We will also be showing the documentary Koran by Heart, that features three young Muslims participating in a Quran competition during Ramadan.

Send your girls prepared to learn, have fun and experience a little indoor camping. Bring those permission slips. Make sure your girls are prepared.

We are still in need to of parents to help out during the evening program and sahoor.

Ma salaama

So Fresh, So Clean: Get Your Girl Ready to Bridge and Prepared for 2013-14 Scouting Year

The Mobile Girl Scout Shop will be in Bowie, MD on June 1, 2013 at St. Edwards the Confessor Catholic Church located at 1940 Mitchellville Road, from 11am to 1pm. Update your uniforms before Troop 3480’s End of Year program and before the 2013-2014 scouting begins in September.

Girl Scouts in America and around the world are recognized by their uniforms. Help make sure your girl is wearing her uniform correctly, uniting her with the sisterhood of Girl Scouts.

The required uniform for Troop 3480 includes the following:

  • insignia tab and pins (appropriate for level)
  • white shirt
  • khaki pants / skirt or khaki abaya
  • white scarf
  • active footwear

There are also official tunics or vest for the girls based on their level on which girls can proudly display their earned badges and participation patches. Daisies wear blue tunics; Brownies vests are brown; Juniors sport the green vests; and Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors are all decked out in tan vests.

Along with the vests, parents should purchase these essential items:

  • American flag patch
  • Council Identification patch for Girl Scout of the Nations Capital
  • Troop Numerals 3480
  • Insignia Tab

Use this visual guide to learn where to place all pins, patches and badges: http://www.girlscouts.org/program/basics/for_volunteers/where_to_place/

All items can be purchased online at the official Girl Scout Shop or in person at the GS Shop of the Nations Capital located at 4301 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington DC, 20008.
