Middle school schedules certainly do tend to get CRAZY! So, we’ve moved our meeting day and time to a weekend this year and it has definitely opened us up for some amazing opportunities!
Last year, we “kidnapped” our Cadettes for a sleepover as their first meeting of the year. The troop was only eight girls and it was easy to do something completely unexpected and fun. So, trying to think of a way to do that again and make it a first meeting “tradition,” leaders came up with the idea to do something not “normal” rather than a “meeting” for our first get together this year, too! We live in the beautiful state of Colorado and that means RIVER!
For our first meeting, we took the girls on a float trip! It was a perfect weather day. There were no rapids, so it was safe and comfortable for all the first-timers and it was a great day for a little river swim!
Can’t wait for the year ahead!
