June 13, 2012 Troop Meeting

We discussed our trip in great detail, and finalized the itinerary. We talked about packing, security checking, and rules on what can be packed. (TSA link: http://www.tsa.gov/) Reminder: We need to be able to carry all of our own luggage through the city streets and train stations, and possibly stairs. We asked the Assistant Troop Leader to get the New Cuisines badges for us from the GS store. We ate some fabulously homemade cupcakes with creative icing butterflies. We talked about our First Aid and Babysitting badges and the Service Bar award. We decided to purchase a 3-day transit card and buy travel for the last day as needed. We asked the troop leader to order those. We also talked about doing other things with more troops, because we don’t all have the same interests anymore, and should connect with other girls who do. We discussed fundraising opportunities other than GS cookies and fall products for future trips and fun experiences. We need to decide what to do before we fund raise. (We found a lot of exciting trips on the GS Destinations website that we think we may like to do).

    This is one of those architectural boat tours off of Navy Pier, we could try to do this one Wed. evening.

    Architecture RiverCruise
    The best way to experience the beauty of Chicago is on a Shoreline Sightseeing Architecture Cruise on the Chicago River. This 60-minute tour takes you past dozens of world-renowned buildings, including Tribune Tower, the Wrigley Building, Marina City and Willis (Sears) tower. Shoreline’s professional guides will enthrall you with the stories behind these and dozens of other Chicago landmarks.

    These cruises depart from Gateway Park at Navy Pier (southwest corner). Boarding begins 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure time. A cash bar is available on board.
