Girl Scout Cookie Time!

It's that time again! Courtney after taking a year's hiatus to focus on cheer leading, has once again decided to re-join her Girl Scout Troop. I am actually pretty excited, because I too enjoyed it. As did Mike when he was able to take her on some trips/activities as well! We figured we only have a full month of cheer left, and after that one 2 or 3 Saturday competitions. This will be that winter getaway that everyone needs! This year the girls are Cadettes and will be working on the Silver Award. This is pretty high ranking and will take them about 2 full years to earn. Once earned though, your noticed in the community and it's a great addition to a resume etc.

There are 5 requirements to earn this award, they are as follows:
Earn 3 Interest Project Patches that relate to the silver award project
Earn the From Dream to Reality Actitivites path
OR
Complete 5 C areer Exploration Activies from the IP book
Earn the Cadetter Girl Scout Leardership Award
OR
Earn the leadership Intereste project patch
Earn the Cadette Girl Scout Challegen
Finally ~ Design and Carry out a Girl Scout Silver Award Project.

As you can see this is pretty detatiled and in depth and the girls will be working quite hard at making this happen!  Once all steps are complete, they actually have to fill out an appliaction  and an award cover sheet for final approval! In the end when all is said and done, there is a ceremony and the girls are awarded this special pin. I know the girl will really enjoy working on this together!
