Hurricane Season ~~> Are we #prepared? #Storm #Damages

Hi all,

Hola,

Are you prepared for this hurricane Season? Did you know?

¿Está preparado para esta temporada de huracanes? ¿Sabía usted?

Hope you are all having a good week and making plans for any major storm as the Hurricane season officially started on June 1st, 2013.

Espero que todos ustedes tengan una semana estupenda y están haciendo planes para cualguier tormenta ya que la temporada de huracanes comienza oficialmente el 1 de junio de 2013.

A couple months ago we went to a Girl Scout event for Girl Scout Jr. Aide. The girls were trained as a junior aide on how to create a temporary sling for a broken elbow, create a first aid kit and how to seek help when a stranger approaches them.

Hace un par de meses, fuimos a un evento de Girl Scout Jr. Aide.  Las muchachas se entrenaron como un ayudante menor en cómo crear un cabestrillo temporal para un codo roto, crear un botiquín y cómo buscar la ayuda cuando un extraño se acerca a ellos.


As I was looking at the news, I remembered the girls training in preparation for any event that they may help. We hope there may not be any need for the for the girls to help as we are pray that there may not be any major hurricane passing by Miami this year. Here is a little pack of their first aid kit.

Miraba las noticias y recordé el entrenamiento de las muchachas en preparación para cualquier acontecimiento en que se puedan ayudar.Esperamos que no haya ninguna necesidad de que las niñas tienen que ayudar y por esto  oramos que no haya tremenda huracán en Miami este año.

It is noted that NOAA predicts that there is a 70 percent chance that there will be 13-20 "named storms" in the Atlantic in the 2013 season. That includes seven to 11 storms that could become hurricanes and three to six that could become major hurricanes, with winds of 111 miles per hour or higher. The prediction meets or exceeds the seasonal average of 12 named storms and three major hurricanes per year. Overall, there is $1.1 trillion in potential residential exposure, according to the report. This chart shows the top 10 states at risk:

Se nota que NOAA predice que hay una posibilidad(azar) del 70 por ciento que haya 13-20 'tormentas llamadas' en el Atlántico en la temporada de 2013. Esto incluye siete en 11 tormentas que se podrían hacer huracanes y tres a seis que se podría hacer huracanes principales, con vientos de 111 millas por hora o más alto. La predicción encuentra(cumple) o excede el promedio estacional de 12 tormentas llamadas.

Please take care and let's be prepared this hurricane season! Are you prepared for the overflow of water in your area, flooding?

Girl Scout for World Thinking Day #Italy #Spain #Puerto Rico #UK

Hope you are all doing well and had a wonderful weekend!

Espero que todos está haciendo bien y tenía un maravilloso fin de semana!

I had spoken previously about World Thinking Day in a post a while ago. A couple weekends ago, Girl Scout celebrated World Thinking Day and had fun. We learnt about some new culture and their traditions. We shared some of their staple food and did some activities in relation to the country. Eventually we did some dance steps. It was a successful event for all girls included.

Les había hablado previamente sobre el día mundial del pensamiento en un post hace un tiempo. Unos fines de semana atrás, Girl Scouts celebraron el día mundial del pensamiento y nos divertimos. Aprendimos algo nueva de la cultura y sus tradiciones. Compartimos algunas de su alimento e hicimos algunas actividades en relación con el país. Finalmente hicimos algunos pasos de baile. Fue un evento exitoso para todas las niñas incluido.

Each poster was done by the girls in each troop. It tells about the country and culture and what the Girl Scout does and the different style of girl scout's uniform

Cada cartel fue realizada por las chicas en cada tropa.

There was food from every country present.

Había comida de todos los países presentado.

Here are some photos of the girls before presentation.

Aquí hay algunas fotos de las niñas antes de la presentación.

Here are the girls after presentation; socializing and having fun!

Aquí están las chicas después de la presentación; haciendo amigas y divertirse!

Hope you enjoy and your comments are much appreciated!

Esperamos que disfrutéis y sus comentarios son muy apreciados!

Making our Girl #Scout Bear Adventure #Greatgift

Hello, Hello , Hello, hope you are almost done or done with your Christmas decorating and shopping. Time is creeping up on everyone, except for the few that are able to relax. If you are one of the, Good for you!

Well, the girls scout were given a girls scout bear for the Christmas for all the hard work they have done. Well done girl scouts! Have a Merry Berry Christmas!!!

We started off early on the Saturday morning, I went along with our troop leader which was awesome since my little one was able to chat all the way. That was a special treat to be able to chat with her girl scout sister. It sure was great hearing the girls chat away about every little thing and nothing. The trip felt very short listening to them chattering.

We arrived at the mall and met with the other girls that were there waiting. There was much excitement as the girls keep strolling in with their parents. The had a procedure to follow which was very entertaining to see!

First, they had to sign up and find a name for their bear that was handed to them to fill. Next, they
started filling in the bear and some took advantage of pressing the footpump, some did not like it much.

Next they were able to add scent, you had several choices, strawberry, chocolate were the two most favorite among the girls. Then came a recording if you wish to do so. Well, we did not really want the bear to be making too much noise and the girls thought that was a bit babyish. lol!

It really was a great day as they had several activities and discussion about girl scout laws and social communication.

 The heart ceremony was awesome as the thought of the bear having this special organ made it seems so real and must treat the bear as their companion and friend. They are learning to care and share with their bear.

 They later got to choose clothing for their bear which was another responsible idea of how to chose their own clothing and keeping it neatly in their places. There was so many to choose from and took some time.  Almost complete, the fluffy time to make the bear looks so soft and beautiful. It was fun to see the activities they did and how much it relates to daily life. Finally, certification time to certify the bear is completed and ownership!

Here are some of the final results after a bear adventure!

The bear trip was quite a fun-filled adventure and the girl scout troop felt it was well rewarded after all the hard work they have done this year, it has been a whirlwind year of activities!
