5. When we get together, we make circles so round. It’s our never ending friendships to which we are bound. Add Cheerios to the mix

6. When we’re planning and working, we just don’t stop. We keep ourselves busy; all around we will pop. Add popcorn

7. We respect all God’s creatures, if they’re big or they’re small, the earth is our home, and there is room here for all. Add Goldfish Crackers or animal crackers

8. It was 1912 when Juliette Low started us off, and like the girls back then, we’re just “chips off the old block”. Add butterscotch, chocolate and white chocolate chips

10. When we were (previous grade level) we were fresh, new and rare, but now we’re (next grade level) and have experience to share. Added together, the number of years our girls have spent in Girl Scouting comes to ___.

Now that our recipe is complete, we look upon what we have created. Each of the ingredients went into our recipe separately,

just like each of the girls came into the troop. As the ingredients

mix together to form one dish, our girls mix together to form a troop. But even as we look upon our mix, we can still see each ingredient as separate and unique. Our girls bring each of their own talents and characteristics to our troop to make it special and unique!
