Our next meeting with the troop is this Tuesday in the Library. We will be working on 2 Try-It badges," Brownie Girl Scouts thru the Years and Saftey Sense". For the Brownie G.S. thru the years badge,the girls will learn to play a simple card game like children often did before all the electronic arrived in our homes. We will also go over games and activities girls did starting from 1912 to current. Next for the Saftey Sense badge, the girls will locate and draw on their own maps important places in Riverside they should know ie: Fire house, Police Station, Village Hall, Library, Train station, School etc.
