Camp Meadowlark ~ 2012

In August, Troop 8059 girls met at Camp Meadowlark to work on a variety of badges.  The Daisy scouts hiked, baked, learned about the Girl Scout promise and law, studied Kansas nature and learned about first aid.  The Brownies earned 5 legacy badges, painting, fair play, snacks, Brownie first aid and bugs.
It was so much fun getting in touch with nature, learning, and earning badges together.  Not to mention the singing, playing, and eating ;)

Summer Camp

This summer a group of our girls and their Mama's spent the night at Camp Daisy Hindman.
It was certainly an adventure none of them would forget.
