U.S. Girl Scout Pen Pal Network- We voted on this at the January 6th meeting and it was passed to sign up for a pen pal.  This is for troops only and there are no provisions for individual links.  We have been informed that it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to one year to be linked with another troop.  I'm going to send the forms in soon, so we'll just have to see how long it takes us to get linked with another troop! Hopefully, not too long!

Brownie Fun Night and Lock-In-  The Brownie Fun night is for Daisy's through 2nd Grade Brownies and the Lock-In is for 3rd Grade Brownie's and up.  If your 3rd grade Brownie doesn't want to attend the lock-in, they are more than welcome to come to the Brownie Fun night instead, they just can not do both. This is a great night for our 3rd grade Brownies to work on their bridging steps.  Several of the steps required to bridge to Junior Girl Scouts will be completed at the lock-in.
