Bobie and the Brownies

Girl Scout cookies anyone? Bobie and the girls had a great time selling cookies and collecting
cookie donations for the troops deployed all over the world. The kids are internally motivated to send as many boxes as they can because they all personally know someone whose in harms way; it's not surprising because it's often their father, mother, or neighbor.

By the way, as an activity, the girls had chose a country that had girl scouting organizations. Her troop picked the Philippines. Instead of Brownies, they were called the Stars for a day. They learned to say hello in tagalog and served lumpia to visitors of their exhibit. In the third picture, Bobie is sporting the typical badges that Filipino children can earn. they discovered that although there were some cultural differences the main theme remained the same: self respect, respect for others, respect for animals, preparedness, and survival skills. It's great the Bobie is getting an opportunity to learn more about the Filipino heritage.
