They earned the Careers badge and had 3 women come and talk with the girls about their careers (Graphic Designer, Accountant and Flute Teacher).

They also held a bake sale/used video, CD and DVD sale where they raised $360 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and earned the Hurricane Relief Patch. There are 18 girls in this troop, 5 of which are new this year. The girls are very focused on how they treat others and wrote a special promise that they say at each meeting.
