Brownie Pen Pal!

Seasan has been communicating with her pen pal in California.  We are teaming up to order the council's own before they become "extinct"..lol!  All I can say is both myself and my leader are annoyed at how Girl Scouts seems to be changing their program every two years or so...and now the council's own will be phased out as the try-its go to patches.  (I am sure they will bring them back in that form, but come on, can't we have some consistency?

Anyhow, back to the pen pal.  (I do not want to list a name until I check with her mom.. :)  Seasan was very excited to receive her letter a few weeks back and four cool try-its from North Dakota Wildlife.  Here are two of them:

 

We can't wait to do these this summer when she goes to Michigan.  (My dad will take her on all the outdoor activities.) 

We just sent her pen pal a letter with a few try-its we got in and should be sending another letter soon with more.  I encourage you to try out this pen pal activity because the girls think this is so much fun.  (Especially since they are on opposite ends of the USA!)

Discover the Nations Capital Patch

So we started on this one this week.  We went on the DC boat tour which is part of the transportation patch.  It was a very nice 1 hour boat tour..and the best part was that there were only 10 people on the tour!  I will post pictures soon.  We are looking forward to heading into DC to finish more items on this patch.

Tudor Place

We went to the Tudor place a week ago.  Seasan got to tour the house and build a bird house.  They also learned about gardening.  This helps them with the Eco-explorer badge.  It was downpouring most of the day and we got good and wet :)
