Did you know the local Girl Scout Catholic Committee annually hosts a renewal for each age level of Girl Scouts. During the renewal day the Brownies complete some of the requirements for their “Family of God” religious recognitions while the Juniors work on their “I Live My Faith” and Cadettes “Mary, The First Disciple” formerly the Marian Medal. All of the requirements for any one of these recognitions cannot be completely finished in this one day. Additional work outside of this renewal day will be necessary.
While a Girl Scout does not have to be Catholic to attend this day of religious reflection, most discussions and the prayer service include a Catholic perspective and a Catholic theme. In fact sometimes a reconciliation service and Mass are a part of the day’s activities.
This year the renewal date is Saturday, November 8th and it will be held at St Peter’s Cathedral Grade School, Belleville. Enter the school at the middle doors off the parking lot.
Brownie renewal costs $6 per girl; $8 if registering after October 27. Leaders are free. Your registration fee includes hall rental, snack and program supplies. Each girl is required to purchase a book which costs extra. Consult the registration form for book prices.
The older girls’ (Junior, Cadette, and Senior) program costs $15 per girl/adult; $20 if registering after October 2. One adult is free for every registering troop. Your registration fee includes hall rental, a light lunch, am and pm snacks, and program supplies. The program concludes after Mass and clean up Saturday (about 6 p.m.) Each girl is required to purchase a book and they do cost extra. Consult the registration form for book prices.
Please complete the appropriate form for your age level. Registration deadline is October 27, 2014.
