Winding Down

As incredible as it may seem, the scout year is winding down. We have only 3 more meetings left on our scout calendar. Below are our final activities for the year. As always, you can pay through the Remind app or PayPal. When using PayPal, just remember to send money to a friend, not pay a bill so that in is a free transaction.  All trip balances are due May 26^th. If you missed a permission slip, all permission slips can be found on the permission slip page to the right.

All parents are invited to our ceremony, so don't forget to put it on your calendar.

Mighty Girl Derby

Our troops have 12 entries into the Mighty Girl Derby on Sunday, May 21^st, 1-3pm. Everyone is invited to support the girls as they race their amazing cars! The derby will be held at Liberty Middle School, 1 Kelly Dr in West Orange. ·       

Cookie Credit

On Friday, we handed out Cookie Credit Certificates to all Girl Scouts who sold cookies. Girls earned 30¢ for each box of cookies they sold. Cookie Credit can be used to offset the costs of our end of the year trips. Girls can use up to $45 for Beach Jam and up to $15 for SkyZone or the Amazing Escape.

Beach Jam

Our end of the year trip will be to Beach Jam, an amazing event attended by Girl Scouts from all over country. Beach Jam is a camping and amusement trip on the beach in Wildwood, NJ.  We’ll be leaving on Saturday June 3^rd and returning Sunday, June 4^th. We’ll sleep in tents on the beach after we visit the amusement rides and Water Park. All admissions, food and transportation are included. The cost for Beach Jam is $75 per girl and $85 per adult. Girls can offset the cost of Beach Jam with their cookie credits. (Girls earned 30¢ per box of cookies sold) All kindergarteners must be accompanied by an adult. We also need at least 6 additional adults to chaperone the Brownies, Juniors and OGs girls.  All balances are due Friday May 26^th.  

Escape!

Like last year, we’re having an extra experience for the Juniors and Older Girls. We’re going to experience the latest craze – an Escape Room. What’s an Escape Room? Participants are locked in a room and have 60 minutes to find clues within the room to help them get out. The Escape Room is $35 and includes admission, lunch and transportation. Girls can use up to $15 of cookie credit.

This year, we’ve added an extra experience for Daisies and Brownies. We’re going to jump and bounce at SkyZone in Pinebrook. We’ll have time to play in the Foam Zone as well as a private trampoline court for our use. SkyZone is $25.00 and includes admission, food and transportation. Girls can use up to $15 of their cookie credit. Everyone attending SkyZone must have a completed waiver on file, which can be found at the link below.
