Saturday Sophia and I volunteered at the Girl Scout Cookie Rally. We attended last year and it was super fun, so this year we volunteered. Tickets to Girl Scout Night at the Manchester Monarchs was also included.
The Girl Scouts launched a new Social Media campaign #becauseofgirlscouts, which is a way for Girl Scout families to share things they’ve learned or done through Girl Scouts. I can say that we would not own so many tents if it wasn’t for Girl Scouts. Nor would I know various ways to cook outside – which came in super handy several years ago during a heavy ice storm. We lost power for several days and I used a tea light to melt wax to make a buddy burner to melt snow, which I used the water to make tea and coffee.
The cookie rally had tables and booths set up with activities for safe cookie sales, travel opportunities for troops, camping, financial literacy badges, and a lot more.
After the rally we joined friends for dinner at Murphy’s Diner which serves breakfast all day. And yes, all but 2 of us at our table ate breakfast for dinner.
The Monarchs game was great! They wore shirts that were designed to look like a Junior Girl Scout vest over a white shirt. It was hard to get a good picture of the front of their shirts. We were able to join the Girl Scout Alumni Association in their suite. I had stepped out of the suite to pick up a patch for Sophia and missed when Max the mascot game to visit.
Monarchs won 3-1. They scored in the first period, the Railers scored in the second period. Monarchs got 2 goals in the third period after the Railers pulled their goalie out of the next for an extra man on the ice. I understand why teams do this, but in almost every game I’ve seen this in the other team gets a puck in the open net.
