This troop has been working on "A Stitch in Time" patch during January and February. They cleverly constructed sewing boxes (baby wipes boxes) each with a built-i- n pin cushion. The boxes are stocked with all the necessary sewing tools which also include a handmade Brownie print material needle case. The girls have learned three basic handstitches as well as sewing on two different types of buttons. At home, each girl was required to complete a simple mending project for her family.

Brownie troop is concentrating on safety by JoAnn Brown I have been a Brownie leader of 1st and 2nd grade girls in Troop 1071 for the past 3 years. This year I have been teaching the girls safety. On safety I have been teaching the girls how to dress for winter and summer. I feel that the girls have not been getting enough of this at home or at school since many of my girls came to Scout meetings this year during the winter dressed in summer clothes. We teach safety for when parents are not at home such as how to answer the phone and the door if a youngster is at home alone. I feel the kids need to know how to take care of themselves when an. adult is not around. after-scho- ol Our troop has earned 3 of the new "try-itand in the future we will be learning how to take care of our pets.

In 1964 she was awarded the "Thanks" badge, which is the highest adult honor - given in Girl Scouting. Why sponsor a Girl Scout Troop? Sponsorship is a voluntary association between a Girl Scout Council and a community, on behalf of girls and adults whose aims and objectives are compatible. This association helps to ensure that all girls in the community, regardless of race, creed, nationality or factors, have an opportunity to participate in Girl Scouting. The benefits of sponsorship to an organization or. business are: involvement with activities essential to the well being of the community, opportunity for additional community involvement, service, visibility, and recognition, speakers for programs and meetings and the satisfaction of helping girls grow. The sponsor's responsibility is: to publicize and interpret Girl Scouting to members andor employees, to help the troop acquire and maintain permanent equipment (when financially feasible) and support their g efforts, to take an active interest in the troop program socio-econom- money-earnin- ic I kZ.
