“100 Years of Sisterhood!”

Join your friends old and new as we celebrate 100 Years of Girl Scouting traditions at camp. The days will be filled with activities such as lacing, nature, and outdoor skills including team building initiatives, orienteering, knot tying, fire building, and cooking over a campfire. In addition, older girls will challenge themselves with woodshop, canoeing, archery and have the option to spend the night at camp, while younger girls will make a craft, learn camp songs and swim.

[4B Rocket-Launching]


Brainstorming Questions

What did you do to Launch Rockets on Thursday?
We decorated these white rockets with stickers and put our names on them. We launched them by pushing down a button and holding down a knob.


What did you learn?

We talked about the first girl who ever went into space, Neil Armstrong landing on the moon, and when you launch a rocket, you should keep an eye on it to make sure where it lands.

Who did you talk to?

Mr. John Weber and Mr. Delwiche (spelling unclear) led this fun event.

What did you talk about?

Fellow astronauts.

Favorite/least favorite moments?

Favorite: watching the rockets launch
Least favorite: when it went in the tree
Favorite: decorating
Least Favorite: loud noise
Favorite: watching parachute come out
Least favorite: the talk was boring
Favorite: having them fall closer and closer
Least favorite: supposed to launch, but got stuck

Funny moments? Exciting stories?

The rocket shot up and we were all concerned it would land in a tree, but we watched eagerly as the wind blew it into the clearing, only for it to end up in a different tree anyway!
When a few girls were waiting for the rocket to launch, one of the girls kept mooing while waiting.

When the rocket went straight up, and came right back down.

A few questions some of our girls brainstormed:

Why is cheese yellow, orange, and white? (Unrelated to rocket launching...)

Why did people spend time and money flying to the moon when we could just make flying cars? (Also slightly unrelated...)

How does it feel when astornauts take off in the rockets?

Why can't we fly?

Why can't we ride a bird to the moon?

Why do books have pages? (sensing a pattern of distraction...)

Why do we drink water?

What do we not like about ham?

Why is nature green?

Why do animals make noises? (I think we've lost the point of this exercise...)

Why do we eat through our mouth?

Why do we need air to breathe? (Curious girls we have here)

How come camp is outside?

I think this amazing troop should win a couple of awards for our definitely creative questions...
