Second Annual Halloween Costume Drive
We really, really need any boys costumes that we are able to collect. Adult costumes are fine as well, as they can be altered. Thanks so much for your help with our effort!!
Adult Brownie Vests
As Moms, we all have enjoyed seeing our girls earn their badges, fun patches, petals, etc. during their time first as Daisy Scouts, and now as Brownies. I absolutely love seeing the collections on the back of their vests-sort of like a Girl Scout Scrapbook.
The thought has entered my head that we, as leaders, volunteers and parents, should also be able to earn and display patches along with our girls! I've found lots of conflicting information on whether this is an acceptable practice. However, I did run across an awesome website where we can all purchase, if we so choose, our own Brownie vest! Here is the link:
Another interesting fact about this site-its a sort of do it yourself approach to scouting. They have some very interesting patches and programs. You can even approach scouting as a family or a mixed group of boys and girls. Lots of opportunities!
I just purchased my own adult vest-and you are welcome to purchase one too, if you so choose! We don't have to wear them of course, only if we feel the need. It will be a great way to collect some of the great fun patches, etc. we earn!!
