Around Town October 2014 Cadette Journey "AmaZing" Weekend

Cadette "AmaZing" Weekend

Our Cadette girls from East Bridgewater completed their Girl Scout Journey in one weekend at Camp Wind-In-The-Pines down in Plymouth.

They learned about bullying, clicks, peer pressure, being a leader and making good choices. They had a lot of fun and really had a lot to talk about from their own personal experiences.

They made "Peacemaker" boxes, that were filled with ideas, solutions, and memories of the weekend.

At the "Trick Or Treat So They Can Eat Party" you will get to see their final stage of posters, or skits that they put together during they weekend. You will also see their posters in the Veterans Parade on Nov 11th. 

As parents and troop leaders it was "AmaZing" to see how the girls respected and enjoyed being together.

One of their favorite item was the "Gorp"...which will be one of the staple food for all Journey Weekends!

Thank you to all the leaders and parents that made the weekend end possible, Thank you to one of our Senior Girl Scouts Madison Neas who helped leading the group during the weekend.

And a special Thank you to Kathleen McDonald, Troop Leader for troop 81157, who put it all together and made it possible!!

Below are some pictures from the weekend...

Good Afternoon,

As you may know,  I happen to be the proud Mom of Kaeleigh Smith, Capeway Distinguished Young Women 2014. Kaeleigh is a life-long Girl Scout and a Gold Award Recipient. 

Because of our affiliation with both programs, we were asked to coordinate the East and West Bridgewater Girl Scouts to invite them to be part of the Distinguished Young Women 2015 Be Your Best Self Program. This is year's program was created by Kaeleigh Smith. It is time for final numbers so that enough supplies can be purchased.

The program will take place at West Bridgewater High School on November 15th at 11:00. There is no cost to participate. The girls will be given a complimentary ticket to come back at night to see the program. They will be called up on stage during the evening to be recognized and given a patch. 

"Distinguished Young Women of Massachusetts is an official state preliminary of Distinguished Young Women, a national scholarship program that promotes and rewards scholarship, leadership and talent in young women. In addition to earning scholarships for college, those who participate in the Distinguished Young Women program develop friendships, self-confidence and other life skills that pave the way for future success. The Distinguished Young Women experience is open to every eligible young woman and there is no cost to participate."

If you have any questions or would like your daughter to attend, please contact either Kaeleigh or myself. We need final numbers by November 7th.

The Girl Scouts in our town are collecting items for the Food Pantries!

The Girl Scouts will be visiting family, friends and neighbors in costume to collect food or toiletry items between 11 AM - noon on Sunday November 2nd.

The girls can leave postcards in mailboxes or door hangers on knobs to let family, friends and neighbors know a week or two in advance. If they will not be home during the collection time, they may leave the food out on their doorstep (clearly marked with a tag for Girl Scouts), or the girls can knock on doors in the neighborhoods where they live during this time frame.

Immediately following the collection of donations, there will be a party for the girls to celebrate 12:30-2:30 pm at St. John’s basement. The girls will bring their collected items for the two food pantries in town and there will be Halloween themed refreshments and games.

What better way to celebrate Juliette Low’s birthday (October 31st) than by collecting donations for the food pantries in town for neighbors in need.

Please join us for this exciting service project and celebration!!!
