Girl Scouts: March 2012

Girl Scout Promise & Law

The values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law are at the heart of the entire Girl Scout program. Through the values inherent in the Promise & Law, girls form their own beliefs and values, learn to consider ethical aspects of situations, and are committed to social justice and community service and action. The Girl Scout Promise and Law are shared by every member of Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Promise is the way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and other people, and the Law outlines a way to act towards one another and the world.

The Girl Scout Promise
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God* and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,

and to

respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

* The word "God" can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word "God" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate

Meeting No. 8 - Managing Your Money

The girls were excited to get back into the swing of meetings after a super busy cookie season! We spent 3 meetings covering skills the girls should practice when using their money! During this meeting, they cut out their elf items and used pretend money in their handbook to practice paying for the items.

Welcome Jillian! We are so glad you decided to join our troop!

Thanks for visiting our site! To see all of our troop pictures, look on the left side under "Our Troop Links" and click on "Photo Gallery on Shutterfly." Feel free to share any photos with family and friends. Enjoy! If you have any questions, please let us know!

2012 Booth Sales

The girls had a GREAT Booth Sale season. They all learned the ups and downs of running a business. They learned how to work with each other in order to get the job done. They also got to practice their customer service skills! After 17 booth sales - these girls are business pros!! I just want to thank each parent who volunteered to help, whether it was just bringing your daughter, or staying to help out. This cookie season was a great one! Congrats to Troop 457 on a JOB WELL DONE!
