Don’t forget we have our
Court of Award’s Ceremony Sunday!
The Court of Awards
Ceremony will be this Sunday at 5pm. I'd like for us to meet at the shelter
with the fireplace if it's available, I couldn't get the ranger on the phone to
be sure, if not, we'll be near the playground area. We're also going to work on
our Letterboxer badge so the ceremony will be really informal. We'll do a
campfire night after.
May Dates:
The following is the
handout about May dates I gave out to the girls last night. It's long. She will
need a permission slip for each of these events, you can find it on facebook,
or copy this image and paste it into word.
We’re going to have a busy month in May. Here are a few of
the dates we have planned for the girls, some of the dates have timed deadlines
to let us know that they are going to participate. Please be sure to let us
know by the date because after we have finalized our ticket sale we cannot go
back in and change it.
May 3-4th Overnight Adventure at The South Carolina State
Museum - Girls will have the opportunity to be a young detective discovering
the secrets of the Maya! Campers will experience the thrill of an
archaeological dig as they unearth artifacts, make spirit masks representing
the ancient deities of Maya culture, use Mayan hieroglyphs to make unique clay
and bead amulets, and enjoy unlimited access to the blockbuster exhibit Secrets
of the Maya and permanent museum galleries. Pizza snack and continental
breakfast will be provided and they will get to visit the Museum Gift Shop.
$25 per person. Miss Donna will not be able to attend so I
will need one or two moms to volunteer to chaperon and drive as well.
Anyone who wants to go needs to let us know no later than the
*24th of April*. After that date I cannot make any changes to our roster. If
you tell us you’re going and then cancel you are still responsible for payment
of the fee because we have to pay in advance. Payment and permission slips will
be collected the day of the trip. I cannot take your daughter with me if I do
not have a permission slip, so please don’t forget to turn it in. I will hand
out a list of items she needs to bring with her and our departure time and
return at the Monday meeting before the trip.
May 11th – Presenting the Dillon Shelter with a check and
working on the “pets” badge – We will meet at the shelter at 12:45, in our
uniform, to present the shelter with our cookie proceeds. It is possible that
the newspaper or other news venue will be there so please don’t forget to wear
your uniform and be on your best behavior.
May 18th – Earning our “Dancer” Badge at the Palace Theater -
This event will begin with a full tour of the theater, including the lighting,
sound, stage, props, loading bay, dressing rooms, pain room, laundry and
sewing, concessions, gift shop, offices, and marketing. Girls will have the
opportunity to meet the owner and then have a question and answer session with
performers before meeting with a mentor to work on their Skill-Building Badge.
Daisies will earn a petal and Brownies will work on step two of the Dance
Skill-Building Badge by getting on stage with the dancers from Le Grand Cirque.
The days adventure will conclude with a live performance of Le Grand Cirque

concessions for a discounted $1.50 popcorn and drink. Attending troops will be

be taking a bagged lunch to eat between our tour and the beginning of the show.
