On Saturday, Dec. 3rd, we worked on My Faith, My Promise badge. A
sister from Leavenworth talked about the Three C's. They are considerate ,
caring , and courageous. You can't be one of the three C's without the other. We made symbols of our faith out of clay . We also decorated
lunch bags for Coritas Corner in Topeka. I believe we decorated close to a
thousand.
It was a great experience and I enjoyed my day.

Sister Vicki, from Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, came to talk to the Girl Scouts of Christ the King. She focused her talk about one of the lines from the Girl Scout Law, Considerate and Caring. She explained that each and every girl brings something different to the group. She used different colors of clay to demonstrate this. By taking three different colors and folding them over each other, you get a marble effect. This showed that sometimes when girls work together their different strengths are molded into what they are working on. Each girl brings something to the project and by working together they can create a beautiful piece of work.
Another activity that the girls did was decorate brown paper bags that will be used at Coritas Corner. This is a place that it here in Topeka next to Let's Help and Catholic Charity. The workers and volunteers put together a sack lunch for others in need. The girls decorated bags that are used with Christmas praise, happy thoughts, and so many other positive pictures. As the girls get older, they hope that they can help make sack lunches that will be passed out!
Considerate, caring and courageous....just three little words that have a huge impact on what Girl Scouts focus on!
