Gift Wrapping Sign Up


The neighborhood has secured Sports Chalet for gift wrapping again this year.  It's a fun, easy way to make a few dollars for the troop or to get some service hours.  If you're interested, check your email for the sign up link. You can sign up as parent or leader/girl pairs or just sign up your daughter.  Girls should wear their vests when working the booth.  

Here's the Facebook post on the booth: 

Time to sign up for gift wrapping! Last year the girls who worked made about $11/hour for their troops. If you don't need money for your troop, you can wrap for service hours. Girls may sign up individually or leaders may sign up as a troop by contacting Hayl Daughtery. 
The booth will be open on the following dates and times for 2015! We need as much help as we can get. Message us with your times/dates.

THINKING DAY 2016

 
Thinking Day 2016

WHAT: Each year on February 22, World Thinking Day, girls honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts by taking time to give thanks for their international friendships and remember that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community—one of nearly 150 countries that are members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). 

WHEN & WHERE: February 21st, 1:30-4:30 pm
Horizon Park Community Center
15444 N. 100th St, Scottsdale, AZ 85260

COST: $1 per girl and includes a patch and passport.  No charge for leaders. 

ATTENDANCE LIMITATIONS: the space will only accommodate 150 participants.  Slots will be filled on a first-come, first-paid basis and then registration will be closed.  Please submit your check made out to Pima Neighborhood with the registration form below.

Please bring only leaders and co-leaders to meet Safetywise ratios. In most cases, that means no more than TWO adults should attend with a troop.  

DIRECTIONS: Each troop needs to pick a country and prepare (and decorate) a booth that includes information, a food, a craft, a SWAP, and a physical activity (game or song, generally) related to their country.  Girls will be issued passports to travel from booth to booth, so a stamp or sticker is needed to have to mark those passports.   Your country choice will be confirmed as soon as you turn in your registration form.

SCHEDULE

Set up: 1:30 to 2:00
Rotations: 2:00 to 4:00
Clean up: 4 to 430
