Meeting reminder

We have a special meeting scheduled for Monday, April 18!

We will meet at the Jorgensen YMCA from 5 to 7 p.m. Please meet inside the Y at 5 p.m. so we can divide the girls into two groups.

One group will then head outside and pick up trash at the Indian Trails Park (weather permitting) because Girl Scouts make the world a better place! The second group will have a chance to climb the rock wall and enjoy a snack indoors. At the end of the first hour, the two groups will swap activities.

If you have any questions or need to arrange a carpool, please contact one of the leaders.

It's camping time!

Mark your calendars ... we're planning a FUN troop excursion to Camp McMillen on Saturday, June 4!

We'll share more details as they become available, but for now, our plan is to meet at Deer Ridge about 9 a.m. that morning and caravan up to camp together. (Camp McMillen is in Huntertown, about 30 minutes from southwest Allen County.) Then, we'll spend the day hiking, doing crafts, singing campfire songs and roasting marshmallows! After an evening campfire, we'll return to Deer Ridge. Parents are strongly encouraged to join us for this event.
 

Please stay tuned for more info ...
