In April 17th from 1PM to 3Pm at Holiday Park in Indianapolis, we'll be planting 3 different types of authentic Chinese vegetables seeds & we'll be examining the vegetables we'll be planting.We'll be reading from what has inspired this event: Grace Lin's classic, The Ugly Vegetable.Then each troop will split off and do their own thing.
 In January, Troop 42/43 celebrated Chinese New Year together for the first time with a Girl Scout party for the troops!
Their First Annual Chinese New Year Party was held from 1PM to 3PM on Saturday, January 23 at Girl Scout Headquarters, 1800 West Meridian Street in Indianapolis. The cost was $5.00 per scout. We'll had activities, crafts, dumplings, and entertainment. There was a great performance by dancers from ICCCI ( about 15 minutes) plus the Lion Dance.
We made unique red Chinese firecrackers and black Chinese firecrackers and Chinese blossom trees as crafts . Some of the crafts we design ourselves but we use ideas we find on the Internet as a starting point; sometimes we take them right off the web site! Here is one place we go a lot for ideas and inspiration.
February 13th and 20th we discussed money matters.
As you'll note, some events are in place, but there is plenty of room for more volunteers, and possibly another leader.There are of course meetings in the future to plan. We need your ideas and your help!
Always check the
Troop 42 yahoo group
for the latest update in Troop 42 meetings.
We meet at locations
in Indianapolis and surrounding communities. Depending upon the activity,we have parent/experts share their knowledge
of particular subjects and/or sometimes
break into small groups.
You may be asking; "How is Troop 42/43 different from my daughter’s school troop?" Here is the answer:
Troop 42/43 is a great way for your daughter to maintain her cultural ties and to develop friendships with other girls adopted from China. Our mission is to educate troop members about Asian cultures through traditional Girl Scout activities and programs. The girls have learned about Asian festivals and Panda conservation. We include non-Asian activities in our programs also, like Theatre and Horseback Riding. Our troop encourages giving back to the community. We made a donation toward the snow emergency in China , and collected money for the China earthquake victims.
