First Court of Awards Ceremony for the Scouting Year

Tonight, our troop held our first awards ceremony to recognize the outstanding work our 15 members have accomplished since October 1st.

As a troop they collectively earned the Girl Scout Ways Try-It. Also an activity patch was awarded for the Breakfast with Dolphins and Science Expo events for scouts who attended these activities. Girl Scouts of America emphasizes the importance of being physically active so they implemented a program that awards pins for participating in a variety of activities. Numerous scouts received pins for the following activities: kung fu, running and swimming. As a literacy advocate I am always encouraging the scouts to READ. To recognize their effort troop 6037 has a book club program in which scouts earn a book shelf patch for the first book read and receive a book patch for each subsequent book.

Also we inducted a new member into our troop. She received her Girl Scout trefoil pin, Girl Scout Brownie pin and her membership star.

After each scout was presented with her awards we concluded the ceremony with a yummy potluck dinner.
