Scout & Boy Scout Day
at Six Flags AstroWorld
Saturday, September 11
|
| Six Flags AstroWorld theme park is closing its
gates to the public and reopening them up just for GIRL SCOUT
& BOY SCOUT DAY! This day is full of fun and excitement
when Girl Scouts and their friends and family can go on their
favorite rides and see special exhibits and performances by
Girl Scout and Boy Scout groups. The Green Starlettes drill
team, Take Note choir, and others provide entertainment for
this family fun event. The date is Saturday, September 11 from
10 a.m. to 8 p.m. You won’t believe at how inexpensive
these tickets are at only $19 plus tax. To be a part of the
action, purchase your tickets in advance at any of the Girl
Scout Shops. Tickets will be available at the Six Flags gate
for an additional amount. |
Council Service Project
Bring chalk and white socks (to be used as erases) and letters
for a service project. These items will be packaged with learning
boards and sent to school children overseas. |
Bring Flags
Troops can collect and bring United
States flags that should be retired. Help educate
people in your community about the proper way
to dispose of a flag once it is worn. One flag,
symbolic of all the others, will be retired on
September 11 at Girl Scout & Boy Scout Day
at Six Flags AstroWorld. After the event, troops,
groups, and service units will be needed to assist
in retiring the flags collected from the community. |

Dear Troop #12284,
Thank your for your contribution of 62 birthday bags
to BEAR...BE A Resource for CPS Kids. Your gift, joined
with others, will touch the lives of abused and neglected
children in Harris County.
All of the birthday bags are perfect. Because of your
work, many children will have a happy birthday for the
first time in their lives. I hope all of you feel very
special because your hard work will help others feel
very special, too.
Thanks to the contributions last year, 9,500 neglected
children received new items including shoes, school
uniforms, replacement clothes, car seats, diapers, hygiene
items, and other necessities. Other Girl Scouts who
would like to donate items to BEAR can call me at 713-940-5296.
Mary Green, Director of BEAR |
Dear GSSJC,
As you know, Houston and Chiba City are sister cities
and we have exchanged our Girl Scouts twice from us and
once from your side. We believe that girls have learned
a lot through the program and for world peace mutual understanding
should be the best way.
This year we are sending seven Girl Scouts and four leaders.
Thankfully, they are given a chance of camping at one
of your beautiful campsites, Casa Mare. I am sure that
they will have a wonderful time there to get together
with your Girl Scouts.
For our future exchange program, we would like to invite
your Girl Scouts and leaders to Chiba next summer.
We deeply appreciate your staff’s great efforts
taking care of all the necessary procedures and arrangements
to accept us.
Yoko Horiya, Council President, Girl Scouts of Chiba
