September 15

Meeting agenda:

As girls arrive, we’ll give them their brownie vests and pass out coloring sheet, along with a folder they can decorate with girl scout stickers.

Once all girls arrive, we will stand to say the Pledge of Allegiance and Girl Scout Promise

This year will introduce a “Kaper chart” and give girls jobs. Every meeting we will have one girl lead the pledge and another girl lead the promise, then two girls lead clean up after crafts (rolling the garbage cans around). We can keep track and go by alpha order by first name.

Next, we’ll have girls sit in a Brownie circle on the floor, and listen to the Brownie story.

WHAT IS A BROWNIE? 

After we read the story, ask the girls, what is a Brownie? 

ACTIVITY: Act out the story

We’ll bring out a round green rug, with a mirror in the middle to represent the pond. We’ll have the girls take turns playing the main characters. The girls will stand in two rows and connect hands at the top (they are the forest of trees, leading up to the mirror pond). Two at a time we call their names, each pair will pass through the forest (under the girls arms), then kneel by the edge of the pond, look inside and say:

“Twist me and turn me and show me the elf. I looked in the water and saw . . . myself!”

Once each girl has had their turn saying the brownie rhyme into the pond, they will receive their Brownie membership pin.

GAME:

First we clean up the tables, then we can play Brownie Bingo! (These are all patches that the Brownies can earn)

We’ll end the meeting with our Brownie circle and the friendship song.
