April was a fun month and it wasn't overwhelmingly busy which was awesome! My month started out with a trip to the fire hall which was so much fun! The Sparks loved seeing all of the equipment, climbing into the fire truck, and seeing where the firefighters eat and relax when they are at work.
I was so impressed when the Sparks wanted to know where the girl firefighters were and what they had to do to become one when they grew up.
The Sparks learned all about fire safety and one of the firefighters put on the gear to show the girls that even though they might look kind of scary with the helmet and mask, firefighters will help them if they need them.
In this picture one of the Sparks is showing the firefighter that the weight isn't that heavy (he was fooling around with the girls pretending he could not lift it!)
We did this adorable craft when we were learning about water and how the water filtration system works. The girls LOVED them and they were easy to make! You can find instructions here.
The Sparks had a visit to Brownies which was crazy! 25 Brownies and 16 Sparks together in one space made for a very active meeting! The Sparks who are moving up are now VERY excited to move up.
I finished off the month at Pathfinder Skills Camp. The best part of it was definitely being out in nature and relaxing from a pretty stressful personal situation. I love being at camp!
Here is the scarf tying video! I am currently working on a new Guiding traditions video and a different version of this one to be used for training. I will post it when I am finished!
This is just a short post but May will be SUPER busy so look forward to that with me!
