The Jones Girls

If I wasn’t busy enough, I have taken on the position of co-leader for Savannah’s Daisy Girl Scout Troop #7274.   I will be working with Lyn, the mother of  Tess, who is Savannah’s classmate and friend in Kindy.    The beneft with being a leader is that I can bring the triplets with me and I won’t need a babysitter – yay!!

We had a meeting today to familiarize ourselves with starting the troop and get things under way.   I really like Lyn.  She is an event planner for the city of Whittier and I really appreciate her organizational and planning skills.   She and I are very similar…very detailed oriented with great imaginations.  I believe we are going to have a blast with our new troop.

The Daisy troop will meet 2 Mondays a month at Savannah’s school, El Portal at 1:30pm right after school in the multi purpose room.   There will be 11 girls in the troop, most of them Kindy and a couple from 1st grade.     We have our agenda all put together and our first meeting with our troop is on Monday January 11th.

All of the girls will be earning petals patches.  Our goal is to earn 10 petals by January to make the daisy on the girls smocks.    The Daisy troop will be for 2 years. Then I will be the leader when the triplets start Kindy and Lyn will be the leader for the Brownie Troop when Savannah becomes a 2nd grader.

Daisies don’t sell cookies and we don’t do fundraising which is really nice.  We have snacks each meeting, sing a themed Girl Scout song and Girl Scout Promise and do our activity.
