Girltopia

Wow, just wow. What happens when 10,000 girls take over the Los Angeles Convention Center? A whole lot of giggling!

And Gloria and I ready to collapse! We again volunteered our time (what *IS* wrong with us anyway??) and were exhausted by 11 am! Girls arrived at Girltopia, an expo for the sake of being a girl around 9 am and started filling the halls. Presented by Toyota, sponsored by Wells Fargo and Mattel Girltopia was an overall success.

Girls learned about cookies and how to be better entrepreneurs, about careers in fashion, medicine, science, arts, and literature.

There were performances and our girls were asked to help lead the closing ceremonies. Yeah, Troop 925 Rocks. Way to go Sophie Kim, little Sophie represented our whole troop dancing the Ignite dance!

Seems like everyone had a blast.

Until next time,

Hugs,

Monster High and Alisa Leads

Our troop gets to do lots of cool stuff. We get a lot of invitations to do things that other troops don't get invited to due to our crazy leader Gloria offering our services for just-about-everything! One of those things was an invitation to a screening of Monster High's "Finding Kind" a documentary on Bullying and how to end it among girls. Every mom cried. Every girl was impacted. Some of our girls spoke on how they were bullied. It was a very emotional day.

Alisa recapped this whole event while she led the meeting. Also on the list of discussions was Sharpeez, the basic level of camping skills girl scouts should know (basic?!?!?) and the girls picked their holiday service project.

Homework was to bring in 15-20 greeting cards in for the service project. Lisa, Alisa's mom, found packs of cards at the 99cent store if you still need to get yours.

Hugs,
