Sea Turtle Display

As part of our final requirements for the Sea Turtle Badge our troop has to put together a school display. Mr. Gruel has very kindly given the Girl Scouts the use of the display cabinets in the front hallway during the month of December for the display.

We are asking all girls to submit one item to go inside the display case related to Sea Turtles. It could be a turtle painting with some facts, a small display with ideas to help sea turtles, a sketch of a sea turtle with all parts labeled. Anything related to educating the school about sea turtles would be perfect. Parents are encouraged to work on this with their daughter.

Originally we had asked for all items to be submitted by this Friday (Dec. 3rd) but we will take them on Monday, Dec. 6th as well.

Thank you for your help!

Honey Horn Field Trip - Video

Honey Horn - Field Trip

We had a great time on Saturday's field trip to Honey Horn Plantation on Hilton Head. We learned lot of new things about the importance of our enviornment and got to play in the sand and mud. We are putting together a slide show of our trip and will be posting it shortly.

Special thanks go out to all our drivers (Katelyn's mom, Faith's mom, and Gabby's aunt) who made it possible for all our girls to go!

Meeting 10/29

At our Oct. 29th meeting girls rotated through three Halloween stations. The first group made moon pie owls, the second group made oreo spiders, and the third group made ghostly nutter butter cookies.

The girls were definitely nice and sugared up by the end of the meeting :)

Carpool Volunteers Needed

We have a shortage of vehicles this Saturday for our field trip and in our current situation we can only take 11 girls. We need a couple of more parent volunteers who would be willing to take some girls in their vehicle.

You would need to stay with the program the entire day and have valid proof of insurance.

If you would be willing please contact Eve or Nichelle via email.

Field Trip - Saturday, Nov. 13th

As a reminder we have a field trip to Hilton Head Island this Saturday, November 13th as part of our wildlife badge.

Paperwork went home with girls and will need to be returned signed by a parent or guardian.

We will leave from Mossy Oaks Elementary School at 9 a.m. (the program starts at 10 a.m. on HHI). We should return to the school between 3 - 3:30 p.m. (we will call parents on our way back).

Girls should be dressed in jeans, socks, and sneakers. They should wear layers on top that they can take off when the weather warms up. The first program will be on the beach so it will be a little chilly. If they have a girl scout vest or badge please wear it for our pictures.

All girls will need to bring a bagged lunch with a drink. We will be eating between programs (the first program is a beach ecology program and the second program is a salt marsh program).

The cost is $3 per girl and is due either before or at the time of departure.

CHECKLIST FOR SATURDAY (girls will not be able to attend unless they have the items below):

- All paperwork filled in? (permission slip and carpool waiver)

- Proper dress (jeans, socks, sneakers, layered tops, girl scout vest/sash - optional)

- Lunch (with drink)

- Money: $3

If there are any questions, please direct them to either Eve or Nichelle. Thank you!
