Nut Sales

This is the 1st year that my troop has sold nuts. Last Sunday was the the 1st time we had a booth sale. I will have to say it was a success only because we did sell some. They don't fly off the shelf like Cookies do.

I had 4 girls show up. 1 Junior and 3 Cadettes. They sold 20 cans in 2 hours. So that is 5 cans per girl per 1/2 hour. I guess when you look at it like that, that is not to bad. I can't wait until this is over.

Training and Tea

SATURDAY
Two nice ladies came up from the Council Office and held a Leader/Daughter Tea for us. There wasn’t a large turn-out, just the usually leaders. We made our own center pieces out of tissue paper, and then we played a game. After that we had tea and finished up with a craft. It was nice.

SUNDAY
I took my Cadette troop down to the council office for Awards and Destinations training. We had to take this one prior to our Silver Award Training which will happen next week. This was all repeat for me (I had level training last year), but I didn’t put it into practice so it was a nice refresher. Having a different trainer was nice. Same training, different words, just a new way to look at it.

One of my girls told my daughter that it was boring. Yes training is boring, but a necessary evil. I think she didn’t understand most of it. I think we will go over it at our next meeting.

When we got home my daughter whipped out her program book and started highlighting everything she wants to do, from IP workshop to PA hours. She was going crazy. I told her to try to keep it to one item a month. All of these activities take place in Santa Rosa 60+ miles away!
