CAMPING TRIP POSTPONED!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, Our camping trip is going to have to be posponed!! Melody is not feeling well, and the cold temps outside have our participation down to 4 girls. (2 being our own)

However, we hated to cancel completely, so as I mentioned before, we have decided to reschedule. We will be letting you know the dates as soon as possible.

As for tonight, we have decided to go and see Shrek the Third at the Three Star Cinema!! Everyone will need to have a parent if possible and will be responsible for their own tickets. We just hated to not get to see everyone tonight as planned. This should be a much warmer event, and give Melody a little time to be feeling better.

We will be meeting inside the theater at 6:45pm. We are hoping that there won't be too big of a crowd with graduation being tonight.

If you can't be there with your girl(s), please let me know and I will try to give a ride to 2 or 3. Shoot me an email if you think that you might come so we will know how many to expect.

Hope to see you there!

Check out the website for a preview and games!!

**MORE USEFUL INFORMATION**

There will be several opportunities this summer for leader training for all levels this summer, please let us know if you are interested in any of these. We are also looking for someone to lead the daisies next year. I will be moving up to help Melody with the older ones.

Our troop earned a bonus for selling the cookies and having everything on time. It was $106.26!!!

We are going to try to have at least one activity per month during the summer. Please keep looking on the site for information about these events. We are hoping to do a kickoff in August in the form of a family cookout. We will have the registration packs available to fill out then for next year.

HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL WEEK!!!
