Zombie Survival Day

There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Our catchy title, Zombie Survival, is just code for emergency preparedness. Our goal is to teach you a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency. So, you will come out and test your survival skills to see if you have what it takes to resist and defeat a zombie army! Try your hand at tasks like finding and creating shelter, identifying edible plants, and collecting and guarding supplies. Develop additional survival skills such as self-defense, archery, water filtering, camouflage course navigation, and, most importantly, rallying and leading other survivors to safety and creating an organized, safe new community. Bring your friends—if you want ‘em to survive!—and get ready to test your bravery, brains, strength, and creativity as you practice for the Girl Scout emergency! The day will be full of events that tie to the It’s Your Story—Tell It and It’s Your Planet— Change It Journeys.

Patch Programs > > > BUILD-A-TROOP patch Want to help your troop earn a $25 gift certificate for the retail shop?

Your troop can also earn a chance to be entered into a drawing for $150!

What do you need to do? Recruit a minimum of two new or veteran volunteers and three girls (new or from the waiting list) to form a new troop! Once you hold two mentor meetings with the new troop your troop earns a $25 shop gift certificate. Every troop that successfully completes the requirements get entered into the $150 drawing that will be held September 30, 2014.

The purpose of the Build-A-Troop Patch program is to encourage experienced troops to help establish and mentor new troops. Through this patch program, both girls and volunteers can be actively involved in strengthening the Girl Scout program by becoming recruiters and advisors to adults and new girls in their communities.

HER STORY: LAURA INGALLS WILDER patch

Recipe for Hard Tack Ingredients: 2 cups of flour 3 /4 cup water 3 /4 teaspoon of salt (optional) 1.

Mix all the ingredients into a dough and press onto a cookie sheet to a thickness of ½ inch.

2. Bake in a preheated oven at 400⁰ F for half an hour. Don’t cut now!

3. Remove from oven, and now cut dough into 3-inch squares, and punch four rows of holes, four holes per row into the dough (a fork works nicely).

4. Flip the crackers and return to the oven for another half hour.

Girl Scout Volunteer Day

By completing 3 discover, 1 connect, and 1 take action activities, you can earn this new Her Story patch!

This patch program encourages you to think about the past.

By exploring her story, you can learn about yourself and reflect on what stories you are making today, tomorrow and in the future. It also ties in with the It’s Your Story – Tell It! Journey series.

For example, making hard tack is a sample activity from the patch program. Laura’s family might have used this old recipe. Hard Tack was a popular food when traveling in the 1800s because it required easy-to-find ingredients and it did not spoil easily.

< < < Leader Appreciation

(often known as Leader’s Day) is a day set aside to say “thank you” Be sure to thank your troop leaders! to troop leaders and all those other Girl Scout volunteers who help guide you on your Girl Scout adventures. nd It takes place every year on April 22.

These adults do a LOT for you—why don’t you find a way to show them how much you care? It could be simply saying thank you with a card or letter. It could be a gift of homemade brownies, or signs in their yard saying thank you. Each girl or troop could find a way to honor their own leaders, but wouldn’t it be fantastic if the troops worked together to make a big splash and say thank you to all the volunteers in your community? Of course, GSMH retail shops have lots of nice gifts for leaders and volunteers too!

Girl Spotlight

The Medal of Honor Lifesaving Award is given for saving a life or attempting to save a life without risk to the candidate’s own life.

Eleven-year-old Hannah and her step-father were in a remote area and involved in a truck roll-over. It was such a remote area that only one car went by within the two hours after the accident. Hannah climbed out of the vehicle, found the cellphone, and called for help. She informed 911 that a helicopter was needed. Her step-father’s arm was severed, and he was at great risk of bleeding out. She remained calm, and flagged down that one passing vehicle—whose driver put on a tourniquet. It was 45 minutes before the helicopter arrived. Afterwards, the doctor informed them that her stepfather had lost so much blood, he was only minutes away from bleeding to death.

Hannah was honored at Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland’s Annual Meeting held on March 22, 2014 in Springfield, MO.

Bronze Award Troop 62258 made blankets for the Columbia Humane Society and spent time volunteering at the Society, cleaning areas of the center.

Keep it up girls!
