Brownies Have Sweet Dreams In preparation for their first overnight campout, about 72 First and Second Grade Brownies from Corpus Christi, Euclid and Lincoln Schools participated in a town-wide sleepover held in the Senior Center on Friday, February 16 from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. They represented Girl Scout Troops 612, 613, 526, 595, 1180 and 1557. The theme was Glen Spey of Hasbrouck Heights. Glen Spey is the name of the Girl Scout Camp in New York that these scouts will attend for their first weekend camping experience when they reach Third Grade. During the evening they each decorated a flower pot and planted a flower seed. They made “swaps” to keep for themselves, and exchange with other Girl Scouts. Swaps are large safety pins with letters and charms. The young ladies played games such as human twister. They made a mock campfire and sang Girl Scout Songs before retiring. At 6:30 a.m. they enjoyed breakfast before returning home. Each Brownie received a sleepover patch. There were about 20 mothers supervising, with the assistance of the Hasbrouck Heights Middle School 6th Grade Girl Scouts from Troop 556, who earned community service credits. Although the Brownies have been doing sleepovers for years, this was the second year it was held in the Senior Center. The Brownies thanked the Seniors for letting them use their facility for this event. ###
