The girls took a picture with all the coats they collected for the coat drive and earned their last two keys along the brownie quest. Their patches are in their backpacks today! Now that the girls have completed their journey through the Brownie Quest it’s time to move onto earning try-its again. Our fist Try-it is manners and we spent the whole day learning about how to act at the dinner table, how to greet people politely and how manners are different in other countries. We learned the proper way to set the table, then got a chance to try eating with chop sticks, various utensils and best of all our hands. With our hands we sampled a date & rice pudding from Morocco. We also played table manners game and earned candy for each correct answer!

Next meeting the girls will finish earning their Manners Try-it and complete the Make-it, Eat-it Try-it. Come a little early at 4:15 for our party and taste all the good treats your daughter will make. Also, we hope everyone will participate in our cookie exchange (more information attached) and make sure to get your brownie involved in baking those cookies. It’s all part of their badge work we’re doing.
