We had our first service project tonight!
The girls each brought 8 items to put in a box to send in a shoe box to Operation Christmas Child. The boxes are due the second week in November for time to deliver across the world. The girls put the boxes together and then gathered for a group photo to put in each box. I delivered them to our council who was paying for shipping. The girls each received a patch from Operation Christmas Child, though the patches came in January.
Afterwards we gathered in our circle and I read from the journey book. The girls had a hard time paying attention, and when we were done they had an even harder time answering the questions since you had to write them down. I'm not sure about the writing part (they're kindergartners!) but I did find now (a year later!) that it's best for the girls to read the chapter at home and come to girl scouts to fill in the blanks and do an activity related to the page.
