Cadette Girl Scout Troop #5095’s
great eighth grade adventure
After lots of planning, fundraising, and researching, Cadette
Troop #5095’s dream came true over Spring Break 2005
when 11
Girl Scouts and their moms flew to Washington D.C.! Some of
the most memorable moments: |
My favorite thing at Washington DC was the
moonlight tour that was awesome seeing all the monuments in
lights! – Jordan
My favorite memory was when we hadn’t eaten all day
and we ate at the restaurant inside our hotel and the food
was really bad and we all had the giggles! – Sarah
My favorite memory was watching George Bush’s helicopter
land on the White House lawn! – Adrianne
It was a dark windy night, when we rode across Washington
DC in a trolley. We visited many memorials, monuments and
tourist attractions-Brrrr! It was chilly! – Brittany
Being met at the Pentagon by really big guns! – Jenna
When the beautiful snow fell on the ground! – Erin
My favorite memory was when we came out of the metro station
and a big gust of wind blew and all of our umbrellas broke
and we looked so ridiculous! – Melissa
When we went to tour the White House, we walked into the
Green Room and it was snowing outside! We raced out of the
White House to play in the snow! – Andrea
My favorite memory was almost getting smushed in the door
of a metro and seeing the President’s helicopter! –

The obvious highlights of the trip were meeting
Congressman Culberson, going to the White House, Capitol and
Pentagon, seeing all of the museums in Washington, and the
hilarious and sweet images that will remain in my head forever.
– Kristina
My favorite memory from Washington DC is when my mom and
I waited outside for 30 minutes in the snow, freezing, and
the President came by with tons of cars around him to protect
him, and he came by and waved to everyone that was standing
out there.

Midwest Madness 2005!
by Haley M., Senior Girl Scout
 Midwest
Madness was a destinations trip to Wisconsin and Minnesota.
We stayed in Wisconsin at a Girl Scout camp called Camp
Ehawee. This was such a well-planned, well-put together
trip. I would recommend it to all girls that just want
to have a week of fun.
During the trip, we went on several mini trips. For
example, the first day we were able to choose between
three activities. I chose the water park Noah’s
Ark. It was a blast. I also was able to go tour around
downtown Lacrosse, do camp activities, go on the Windell
boat tour, and go to the Wisconsin State Fair. This
was just in Wisconsin. When we got to Minnesota, we
went to the museum and the zoo. The next day we went
to the Mall of America and to the musical Beauty and
the Beast. We were busy the entire time during the destination.
I would definitely recommend this destination. It was
so much fun and I met many new people. I still talk
to some them and I miss all of them. The staff was great
and very organized. I cannot wait to get started on
my application for the destination I want to go on this
year. |
