Cookie Memes 2 Comments cookies, memes
In what seems to have turned into a tradition, I present to you 2017’s cookie memes! I have to admit – I was a little unmotivated this year. I think it’s because I churned out so many last year. But sometimes you have to just plunge yourself into a project, and once I got going, I was able to knock out a few. I won’t do as many as I did last year, but I will be adding to these from time to time I’m sure. This year I’ve got a “Hooray for Hollywood” theme. As always, you are welcome to share these. I’ll be also posting them on my cookie meme Pinterest board at some point. Continue reading
Troop Leader Resources 3 Comments history, tips, traditions, troop stuff, uniforms
I couldn’t find this online all in one place except for a PDF from the San Diego council, so this is shamelessly borrowed from them. I added the graphics.
Choosing a Troop Crest
In the early days of Girl Scouting, troop crests were used to identify a troop. The rapid growth of the movement soon made numbering necessary, but troop crests were kept as a symbol of a troop’s goal or main interest. Today, troops should think carefully about the crest they choose. It should have a special meaning to them, one they can pass along to new members each year.

Random Things That Don't Fit Anywhere Else Kinda Like Me No Comments patches, random patch of the day, university of georgia
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but I’ve got three of them on the back burner that I should be publishing soon. It’s been an exhausting December for me personally, so that’s cut into blog post time. But here’s a quick one to round out 2016!
The other day I was thumbing through the latest and greatest patch catalog from Advantage Emblem, and I came across a timely patch for the most wonderful time of the year, aka bowl season. I haven’t been able to watch much college football earlier this year, so I was very happy to see my beloved Georgia Bulldogs beat the Great Horny Toads of TCU along with some other great bowl games.

Delegate Duties 1 Comment councils, delegate, governance, kittens, roberts rules, UNOFFICIAL guides
This is a post that I wrote a few months back and for some reason never got around to publishing. It’s appropriate now with the national convention coming up. I hope it is also helpful for volunteers serving as delegates for their local councils.
So, here we are again with a topic that everybody just gets amped up about. I’m so excited. And I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control and I think I like it.
I’m talking about Robert’s Rules of Order. What is that? Who is Robert? And why is he so OCD? This is another entry in the category Delegate Duties, a hopefully helpful guide to those of us who are council delegates and are doing our best to figure out what the heck we’re supposed to be doing.
