December Service Unit Meeting - 12/8/11

There will be a Council-wide Promise Circle on 3/12 6pm at VanderVeer Park. If you are interested in participating, please contact Joanne .

Is anyone else attending the Iowa Basketball event on 1/9? Amy Scott <> would like to know if there will be any familiar faces there.

What did your troop do to celebrate the holiday season? We asked around the room and some troops made cards for ManorCare, rang bells for the Salvation Army, donated tied blankets to King’s Harvest, made presents for friends and family members.

Do you have leftover supplies from a craft that you would like to send to a good home? Bring them to our next Service Unit meeting or email the group what you have with a count of how many girls it would provide for.

Remember to RSVP a count of girls you plan to bring to our cookie rally on 1/20 6-8pm at Our Savior Lutheran Church. Troops will need to maintain girl:adult ratios. Our next Service Unit meeting and Cookie training has been changed to 1/5 to give leaders the training and time to submit their initial orders.

Do you know an outstanding leader that deserves to be recognized? The due date is 3/1. Here is the link:

We spent some time sharing songs and games at our last meeting. Below are the words. I hope to see more leaders at our future meetings.

Elephant smack song (sitting cross-legged on the floor in a circle hands up on knees)

Way down yonder where nobody goes

There’s a big fat elephant pickin’ his nose

Singing oo-ah, oo-ah,

Who’s gonna get that smack-ah.

Ridin’ that pony (standing in a circle, one girl in the middle as the pony)

There she goes a-ridin’ that pony,

Ridin’, ridin’, ridin’ that pony,

There she goes a-ridin’ that pony,

This is how she goes.

Front to front to front now baby,

Back to back to back now baby,

Side to side to side now baby,

This is how she goes. (switch ponies)
