| Investiture/Rededication Ceremony We had an Investiture/Rededication Ceremony in November and invited our family and friends. Some of us were Daisies last year. Everyone received her Brownie membership pin. On stage we all said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang My Country Tis of Thee, and performed a play about the Girl Scout Law. We chose the color purple for our programs and decorations - balloons and ribbons. Afterwards we had refreshments. |

TOS - Nut Sales We sold nuts and made a nice profit for our first year as Brownies. |

Bob Porter Project During a troop meeting, we made felt stocking ornaments for the Bob Porter Project. Over 20 years ago, he began collecting unsold trees from Christmas tree lots just before Christmas and giving them to families who would not have a tree. For many years, troops from Angeles Council made ornaments at their meetings and donated them to this project. This is a scanned image of the stocking ornaments. |

Holiday Parade This is a scanned image of the parade patch. We marched up Main Street in El Segundo in December. The theme was "Toyland" and our Grand Marshall was "Barbie". We all wore garland wreaths with red and green ribbons on our heads. |

Christmas Caroling We joined other El Segundo Girl Scout Troops to sing Christmas and Hanukkah songs for the elderly residents of Park Vista in El Segundo. Our audience really enjoyed our performance and we had a lot of fun singing for them, too. Afterwards we had punch and cookies. This is a scanned image of the patch we got for Christmas Caroling. |
| Thinking Day Ceremony In February, we received our WAGGGS pins and two new members received their Brownie pins. Our artwork was on display. We all had a chance to be on stage and demonstrate our knowledge of girl scouting (handshake, friendship circle, songs, etc). Each girl was given a blue butterfly pin - our mascot. |
