Bulls-eye
Individual and troop archery instruction
is offered at Camps Casa Mare, Misty Meadows, Silver
Springs, Robinwood, Agnes Arnold, and Whispering Pines.
Instruction is based upon individual skills level and
prior experience. If you have tried archery and liked
it, this is the way to strengthen and improve skills.
All instruction takes place on the archery range so
dress for the outdoors. No prerequisites are necessary.
This is a perfect activity for a day trip to camp or
for camping troops.
The Bulls-eye program includes a patch or rocker for
each girl who participates. If it is a girl’s
first time to participate in a Bulls-eye session she
will receive a patch; after that girls receive a rocker
to begin to build their own “Bulls-eye.”
Once a troop has participated in the event, contact
Nicole McInnes at 713-292-0353 or nmcinnes@sjgs.org
to have patches mailed.
Troops should be at the archery range 10 minutes prior
to the start time.

Event Planning for Girls required
for some Gold Award projects
Senior Girl Scouts who want to plan
an event for their Gold Award project must attend
the Program Department’s Event Planning
for Girls training before beginning their project.
An “event” is an activity or occasion
where people you may not know ahead of time come
to do, learn, or enjoy something you have organized.
Generally projects that are an “event”
typically include some type of registration.
Girls may attend this training 9 to 12 months
prior to the start of their projects, but not
as first year Seniors.
Girls may take the training before or after they
submit their Gold Award application. It is important
that girls do not start on their Gold Award project
until they have taken the Event Planning for Girls
training and sent a copy of the training strip
to the Council Gold Award Advisory Committee.
Who: Senior Gold Award candidates,
Council girl planning board members
When: Sunday, March 28; 1 - 5
p.m.,
Girl Scout Center
Cost: $4/girl (no adults)
Event Code: 10-63-06-6243
Min/Max: 10/30
Deadline: One month before event
Bring: Pencil, permission slip
and medical form
Register: Program Registration
Form
If a Senior Girl Scout has questions
on whether or not her proposed Gold Award project
will require this training she should contact
Deban Becker at dbecker@sjgs.org. |

ages 9 - 12 and their moms
When: Saturday, May 1
Time: 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. (Check

Where: John P. McGovern Museum
of Health and Medical Science

Form
Deadline: April 8 (No on-site

What About Me? That’s
a question both mothers and daughters ask as they
face the many changes that occur as girls enter
their teenage years. Girls may think it’s
all about them, but there are lots of changes
for moms during these years, too. Learning to
communicate about these issues makes these challenging
years easier for everyone.
Join us for a special guest speaker, Jane P. Marshall,
food editor of the Houston Chronicle, who will
talk about communication skills. Then make your
choice of two break-out sessions. Sample break-out
sessions include: You Are What You Eat; Shop ‘Til
You Drop; Boys, Boys, Boys!, I’m a Princess;
Fun & Fit; and I Can Do That!
Break-out sessions are provided with the help
of: the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council; Girls,
Inc; the Houston Area Women’s Center; the
McGovern Museum of Health and Medical Science;
Texas Executive Women; and The Women’s Fund
for Health Education and Research.
After the event, be sure to stay for fabulous
mother/daughter door prizes and a complimentary
museum tour! What a great way to spend a Saturday!
