Who Loves to Camp? Girls & Parents Camping Meeting, Jan. 25

W_C2Asalaamu Alaikum,

From the start of Troop 3480 our girls have expressed their desire go camping. Our first camping trip will be with our Girl Scout Service Unit this April, inshaAllah. Camping season is coming soon, so let’s get ready!

Due to the number of girls we have and their various levels of outdoor experience, we are are requiring both girls and parents attend a series of camping meetings. Camping meetings will give girls and parents instruction on how Girl Scouts camp, the equipment needed, types of camping and other tips. In addition, parents (both fathers and mothers) who want to obtain Cookout & Campout Certification will also need to attend so that they complete all the required registration.

Our first camping meeting for both girls and parents will be on January 25, 2014, 1 – 3PM at PGMA with Sis. Kesha and Bro. Ishaq.

Girls should bring an inexpensive reusable bag to be used to make a sit-upon — one of many Girl Scout camping traditions.

Asalaamu Alaikum

This Friday, January 3, 2014, will be our Troop’s Investiture and Rededication ceremony.

Investiture welcomes new members, girls or adults, into the Girl Scout family for the first time. Girls receive their Girl Scout, Girl Scout Brownie, or Girl Scout Daisy pin at this time. The Rededication is an opportunity for girls and adults to renew their commitment to the Girl Scout Promise and Law, including girl scouts who have recently transferred to Troop 3480 from other troops.

Each level’s program will take place in their individual room. Times of each levels ceremony will be posted at sign-in. We are asking parents to bring a dish for this special occasion.

Girls should be on time and in full uniform. Remember: the Uniform Stars program is an on-going effort.

Otherwise girls can wear an overgarment of any color over which they can fit their uniform vest. No pants or tennis shoes, please. Juniors should also remember to bring a dish that they prepared themselves. Here is our list of foods so far.
