Girl Scouts - April 13th meeting and Late Spring Schedule Attached

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is staying dry! I just cannot stand this rain
:( This is a long email re: Girl Scouts, so please read and
let me know if you have any questions.

Troop Meeting
Sunday, April 13th
3:00 to 5:00pm
Microsoft

Reminders:

#1 - Bring Happy Mail received and/or bring photos of what
received. We'll want everyone to share what they received
and sent with the group.

#2 - Blue Man Group bus $10 per person (including your Girl
Scout(s)) due to Erica by May 4th meeting.

#3 - Girl Scout Camp is a big part of the Girl Scout
experience, and we'd like to encourage all scouts to
consider attending Girl Scout camp this summer. Most
programs are day camp (not sleep over) and have a range of
great activities and adventures. At our meeting on April
13th we will have the girls that have attended camp in the
past talk about their experience with the group for a few
minutes. To encourage our troop's girls to attend camp, the
troop will reimburse you $50 towards a week of camp this
summer. Also, if you and your girl would like to preview
Girl Scout camp, we encourage you to attend the "Tours and
S'mores" Oak Spring Camp Tour. It is a free event.
