Troop 3480 Juniors Year in Review

Alhamdulillah, Troop 3480 Juniors have had a fruitful year. Other than troop-wide activities like Service Unit Encampment, Service Unit Skate Night, Color Me Mine Fun-raiser, Cookie Sales Program, The Magic of Spying at the International Spy Museum, and Troop Field Day, Juniors have had an active and adventurous year working on the badges and activities they collectively chose at the beginning of the 2014 – 2015 Girl Scout year.

Girl Scout Song of the Month: Great Big Moose

Girl Scouts love to sing songs — at a meeting, on a hike, or around a campfire. Watch Great Big Moose, learn the lyrics and hand movements, and teach it to your troop. Use it in your opening or closing ceremony.

Great Big Moose

lyrics:

There was a great big moose!
Who liked to drink a lot of juice.
There was a great big moose!
Who liked to drink a lot of juice.
Singin’ oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh

The moose’s name was Fred.
He liked to drink his juice in bed.
The moose’s name was Fred.
He liked to drink his juice in bed.
Singin’ oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh

He drank his juice with care,
but he got some in his hair.
He drank his juice with care,
but he got some in his hair.
Singin’ oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh

Now he’s a sticky moose
Who likes to drink a lot of juice
Now he’s a sticky moose
Who likes to drink a lot of juice
Singin’ oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh
Way oh way oh
Way oh way oh way oh way oh

BROWNIES

  • Brownies will begin working on their Fair Play badge in which girls will learn to work together to have the most fun possible. They will play games while learning the importance of following rules and being part of a team. Attendance at the Troop Field Day on May 31 is very important, as the field day experience is one of the steps to earn the Fair Play badge.

JUNIORS

  • Juniors will also decide on a Take Action Project for their Get Moving! Journey.
  • Bridging Juniors who attend the Cadette presentation this Friday will complete the Looking Forward portion of their Bridging to Cadettes award.

CADETTES

SENIORS

  • After the Cadettes’ presentation, the Seniors will be completing their GIRLtopia Journey with a program for the Cadettes titled “Who Am I?” which will end at 8PM.
