Meeting on St. Patrick's Day

This meeting was another busy one. We decorated shamrock cookies, made green lemonade, played games and and learned about Ogham (ohm) message sticks in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Irish people spoke a Celtic language called Ogham. It was made up of dots and lines. I made up (i.e. copied from a book) a secret code for our daisy troop using symbols to represent letters of the alphabet. Each girl was given the code-breaker sheet and had to find her name written on a wooden craft stick in "secret girl scout code" at her table setting.

Natalie brought a St. Patrick's day relay race games which required the girls to crab walk, bear walk, backwards walk and hop on one foot to win. It was fun to watch the girls.

We also made Jordan another Daisy shirt because of a defect in the shirt. Finally, we talked about bridging, the Sister Girl Scout Party, and I read a thank you from Ronald McDonald House to our troop.
