Back to School Ice Skating

Come one, come all to the annual back to school ice skating event.  This is a great event to invite potential new Girl Scouts to attend!  Each troop should have at least one adult in attendance (adults generally sit in the lobby and socialize).  Collectively we will then have enough leaders to meet ratio guidelines.

When: August 22
Arrival Time: 5:45
Skate Time: 6:15-8:15
Where: Ice Den,  9375 E. Bell Road
Cost: $6 (includes skate rental)

Siblings may attend as well, since this is a public skate but parents are responsible for their supervision.

If you have a Girl Scout tshirt, wear it to the skating rink!

Please drop a note to pima.neighborhood@gmail.com with a guess on attendance and also let me know if you are interested in me ordering participation patches.  Cost will be $1 and I'll probably order the patch you see here :)

Summer at Desert Stages

Willy Wonka Jr. opens May 21st Desert Stages Theatre and runs through June 21.

The theatre offers special summer prices for Girl Scout troops of ten or more, including adults. For more information, go to desertstages.org or call Linda at the box office 480-483-1664.

Also, if you are still working on badges over the summer or planning already your next season of girl scouting, consider a theater badge. Questions? Contact Katrina Butler at susanjacqueline@hotmail.com.
