Courageous and Strong

Sarah's Daisy Troop went to REI last night to earn their Courageous and Strong Petal by climbing the Rock Wall. All of the girls did such a super job, but I am especially proud of my Sarah Beth. She was starting not to feel well from a cold that has kept her home from school today. But she was determined to climb that wall and ring the bell. And ring it she did! I am so proud of my baby girl Daisy Scout!

The last 3 pictures were taken from the 2nd floor of REI. You can see how tall (and scary) that wall is! In the last picture, you can see the tiny, yellow bell at the top of the wall that she had to ring. She totally rocks!

Girl Scout Thinking Day

Last Saturday was Girl Scout Thinking Day! Check out my little girl scouts. Aren't they just so adorable?

All of our girls were able to make it to Thinking Day (I think our troop had the most attendee's) but only 9 of the 12 girls were around for the group picture.

We did our country on Brazil. They girls each came up with one fact about Brazil for us to post on our board. They found some very interesting facts! We also made some brazilian candy to share with everyone -- Thinking Day is all about the food! Here are the recipies we used: Brigadieros and the Brazilian pumpkin candy. They were very tasty! The Brigadieros tasted like Tootsie Rolls and the Pumpkin-Coconut ones were a favorite!

This is such an awesome event that Girl Scouts puts on. The girls get to learn about other countries and cultures and meet some other girl scouts in our service unit. We always have a good time at this event.
