In May we worked on the "People of the World Try It". We learned about helping people and participated in "Good Turn Day" by donating clothes to Goodwill Industries. At one of our meetings, we were Hawaiians - made leis, danced the hula, tasted pineapple and macadamia nut cookies, and learned some Hawaiian words.

We also enjoyed the Father/Daughter Dance - everyone dressed Hawaiian and had fun dancing to Rock and Roll.

In June '99 we went to our Neighborhood Encampment at Malibu Creek State Park. This yearly encampment is called Amigas Nuevas (New Friends). We earned the "Outdoor Fun Try It".

Eight girls attended our "Buddy Party" - they created felt finger puppets and made twirling boomerangs.
Our guests were a wonderful audience as the troop members rehearsed for the talent show.
After pizza and ice cream, one of the buddies asked if she could participate in the talent show rehearsal.
A Brownie vote was taken with unanimous results - we agreed that the buddies should get a chance to entertain us.
Their singing and cheering were fun additions to our Brownie party.

Our final Brownie meeting combined a Rededication Ceremony and a Talent Show for family and friends.
Congratulations and thanks to all for a very successful Brownie year.

SUMMER SLEEPOVER We met in July '99 for a sleepover. Some troop members who had already earned the "Ready, Set Go Try It" helped those who were unable to attend Skills Day earn this try it.

BEACH FUN In August '99, we traveled to the Cabrillo Museum in San Pedro to learn about sharks. After viewing many different sea creatures (we loved the jelly fish), we frolicked on the beach making sand castles.
