We Have a New Girl Scout Troop!



 Hi, Im Lisa, and ill be the new Co-Troop Leader with my good friend Sharon!  We are excited to be starting a troop up here in the mountains...as you can imagine, group activities for the kids are difficult and hard to come by being an hour from town, so we decided to start our own girl scout troop right up here, and the response has been fantastic!
 The girls were so fired up after the family meeting, that they've been asking me almost daily, when our next meeting will be.  I hope we can keep that energy and enthusiasm going, as we have lots of fun things in the planning stages for our girls.  We will be scheduling one meeting a month and one fun activity a month, and if it goes well, we may add more meetings and certainly more activities, but with limited funds, we will keep our adventures on the thrifty side for now.
 Which reminds me...we have had several generous donations made to our troop to help get us started, so i would like to thank them here at this time...

 Without your help, our troop would not be possible, so thank you for your kindness!

 Our uniforms and books arrived last week, so its really starting to come together!  Our first official meeting will be November 14th, so stay tuned for the adventures of troop 4288!  Oh, and i may be a little rusty (about 35 years rusty) but here is a photo of me back in my girl scout days!  I hope we can create wonderful memories for the girls like the ones i have from my days in scouts!
