Bird Registration Mrs. Davis mailed or delivered registration forms to
everyone. She would like them back as soon as possible but not later than June 1
with a check to the troop for $7.00 per person registered. DO NOT WRITE ON THE
BACK OR IN THE GREEN/BLUE SPACES. If you are undecided, then hold your form(s)
over the summer and bring it (them) to the first meeting in September. If you
know you will not be returning just let Mrs. Davis know as soon as possible. Kayaking I MUST
have a parent come to Waples Mill to sign the release form before we leave.
If this isn’t possible, then the parent needs to contact Mrs. Davis ahead of
time to get the form so the scout can bring it with her on June 1. For the
families going they can take care of it either at Waples or at the site. The
following is a list to bring (provided by Atlantic Kayaking): h
Drinking Water h
Optional:
Binoculars, camera (that can get wet), nature books h
Insect repellent h
Shoes you don’t
mind getting wet (aqua shoes good) h
Retaining strap
for glasses h
Change of clothes
and a towel h
Hat or visor h
Swimsuit under
shorts if desired h
Rain gear if rain
is expected h
Snack We will leave
Waples promptly at 4:45 so if you are late you will have to get there on
your own. If the weather is bad look for an email or call Mrs. Davis
after 12 noon. Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Tatariw, Corianne, Tracy and Amy will help
lost singers. We are registered and will each receive a songbook and patch. Our
shift is 10 – 12 so we need to be at the Metro by 9:00 am. The
date again is Saturday June 8 near the Washington Monument and we will meet at
the Tatariw’s at 8:30 am and go to the Metro in one car. Since the actual
sing-a-long is 1:30 – 4 we will stay around for at least part of it. h
The Washington
Mystics (WNBA Team) have a "Girl Scout Night" game scheduled for
Friday, June 7th 7:00 pm at the MCI Center. It is metro close and will be
a great chance to see the Mystics players who will be singing on h
On Saturday night

tickets NOW either on-line or by telephone. They are going fast! GSCNC
Sing-a-long Participants We (Mrs.
Davis, Mrs. Tatariw, Corianne, Tracy and Amy) have been switched from the Lost
Singer Tent to the Information Tents where we will pass out water bottles and
pom-poms. The times are now 12 – 2 so we need to leave Waples by 10:30. Tracy
if it is closer go to the Tatariw’s (if it is alright with them) and they can
bring you; just remember your permission slip. I will be
getting our orange shirts in the mail and will get them out to you. Also
remember to bring your songbook, hat/visor, sunscreen, water bottle and anything
else I may have forgotten. The following girls are signed up to
participate: Amy, Katherine, Tracy, Lucy, Lauren and Alex. More details at the
end of this newsletter. The workshop is full at this point. Girls make sure you
block out these dates on your calendar. TTG You will
be getting your TTG’s shortly. Of particular note is the fact there will be a
Gold Award Panel in July. Review page 6 before submitting your award. AND
remember don’t start working on your project till you get an okay from GSCNC. Since Mrs.
Davis needs to sign off on your paperwork you need to know that she will be out
of town: June 30 – Jul6 6 (tentative at this time) and July 14 – August 4
(for sure). Gold
Award Funding Funding is
always and issue. The Gold Award Panel will want details on how you will fund
your project. The organization you are working with may be able to fund it which
is where you should look first. If you are going to solicit businesses you must
submit a sample letter you will send along with your Gold Award submission. If
you still need funding Mrs. Davis will help you tap other sources. International
Hours If you
want to work at the International Children’s Festival at Wolftrap September 14
– 15 go to the following website: www.allnva.com/local/acfc/icf.html.
Just make sure you are assigned to an activity that deals with customs of
another country. If you would rather do something on your own. you can organize
an international activity and do it at the Association Event on September 29
(see last newsletter for details on that event). Juliette
Low Birthplace Circle of Friends The troop got a nice thank you for our donation to “Dollars
to Daisies”. Service
