Final Troop Visit

So today, I visited my last Girl Scout troop and it was a pleasure.  I was nervous when the girls were quiet, but they were just really concentrated on what I was doing.  I feel like they really enjoyed my activities because they were age-appropriate.  This troop was a Brownie troop, so the activities were Bingo, creating a quilt square, playing "concentration"/"memory", and creating a scrapbook piece of paper full of things that make them feel good about themselves in the hope that it makes the mothers at the local Safe House happy to see.

Another Update

Hey everyone!  Last Friday, I visited a Daisy troop at my old elementary school and it was a weird experience being back there.  Regardless, the troop that I visited was a fantastic one, possibly even the best one I've visited!  They were so well-behaved, helpful, and answered all of my questions.  Regardless, it was a very enjoyable visit and I'm so glad to be able to educate all of these young children on Safe Haven and all that they do while implementing fun activities and crafts!  They all looked so excited when I brought out the Bingo boards.

I hope to soon finish my final paperwork for my project.  It's been a lot of work, but enjoyable as well.

First of all, Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays to all of my viewers!  Last Friday, I visited a Brownie Girl Scout troop and presented my project to them.  I taught them about Safe Haven and how it "helps mommies who are in trouble" (Brownies are in elementary school so it had to be in simple terms) and played games with them.  I worked on crafts with them, which included each girl making a Quilt Square and a Binder Sheet.  The squares will be put into a "Quilt of Hope" which will be hung in a local Safe House to serve as a bit of inspiration and, well, hope to the mothers who stay there!  The sheets are basically a scrapbook page that is full of things that the girls enjoy, what makes them happy, and various "positive words" and phrases.  The purpose of this is to put this into one big binder that will be at the Safe House so that the mothers can look through it and have something to make them smile because these girls were able to find things that make them smile too.

I will keep you all updated with any new things!

Happy Holidays!
