Leaders Meeting

I am trying to figure out a way to spice up our Leaders Meeting (Service Unit Meetings). Just like all areas (as far as I have heard) attendance in the monthly meetings is low. I want to boost it up. What is the point of going to the meeting if all we hear is “Here are the flyers we get from the council office at the SUD meeting.” Gee, thanks, I think I can read those on my own (if I am even interested, which usually I am not). That’s all I have to say about that.

Here is my big plan. I want to teach something each month. This way the leaders come and learn something new. A song, a ceremony, or a craft. Anything to make it interesting and worth their time to attend. I tried this last year with the intention of having our SUD ask different leaders each month to provide something. Well that didn’t happen. So once again I am a one man band. I shared something last month but can’t remember what. Hmmm, I must be losing my mind.

Tonight I am going to have everyone make bags of Magic Reindeer Dust. I was able to find all the supplies in my home so this project is free. I will have each leader make their own. I have everything pre-cut. They just need to put it together. I will let them know there are variations of this project. It can be as fancy or as simple as they like. They can just take this simple project and gear it to the age of their troop.

Leadership Hours

Tomorrow night my daughter and her friend are going to earn some Leadership hours tomorrow night. They will be doing the Caring and Sharing Try-it with a brand new brownie troop. This will take place during their 1st meeting while the Leaders and Parents have their meeting.

They put together this booklet for each of the brownies to complete. They are thinking about starting the meeting with the mingle, mingle, mingle game. This is always good ice-breaker. It gives the girls a chance to get to know eachother. It also shows them that they all have something in common without them event knowing it. Sneeky.

Anyhow, I have attached a copy of the booklet here for you to see and maybe share with other Brownie Leaders. Caring & Sharing Wookbook
