    Social Distancing Badgework

    Here are some badges to keep your Girl Scout busy for the next few weeks.

    Daisy Badge: Cybersecurity Basics, Cybersecurity Safeguards, Cybersecurity Investigator 
    Journey: Think Like a Citizen Scientist




    Ambassador Badges: College Knowledge (excellent for Juniors in high school and perfect timing)
    Cybersecurity Basics, Cybersecurity Safeguards, Cybersecurity Investigator
    Good Credit, Public Policy 
    Journey: Think like a Citizen Scientist
     
      
    For girls 14 and up (and leaders), getting your food handler's license so that you can help out at encampment would also be a good use of time.

    Leaders can use any time they have to work on some training modules, particularly TCC1!!

    Cookie Donations to the Military


    Troop donations for the military can be dropped off at Diana's house until March 6th and then again March 15th through March 22.

    Small donations (less than 3 cases) can be left at my front door, just let me know you are coming. Please do not place them directly in front of the door; this is a tripping hazard.

    Large donations: text  ahead so that we can transfer them directly into the garage. (Addresses and emails are on the neighborhood roster or in the private Facebook group).

    Please bring your cookies in the right cases! The donations will be in the thousands and the base needs to pallet them up for the journey. We need full cases to do that.

    Help Australia's Wildlife through WAGGGS

    Our troop did Australia for World Thinking Day. The girls learned all about the devastating bushfires that are claiming lives, killing many animal populations, and destroying habitats.
    The Australian Girl Guides have a badge available to purchase. All proceeds from the badge go to the Australian Bushfire Emergency Fund set up by Girl Guides Australia.
    Each badge is $5 and our troop will be funding the shipping cost. Please order by March 16th.
    If your girl or troop is interested in purchasing this badge, please contact Courtney. She is on the Neighborhood roster under "Laguna School Organizing Team"
    Please follow this link for more information!

    Thanks!
    Troop 4913
