online troop meetings

[lillizzie24]

I want to start hosting online troop meetings. these will be fun, interactive and we will be able to earn badges at these meetings and share ones that we have worked on during our own time. I'm going to start a poll of good times to host one each month.  feel free to give comments on what you feel about this

@lillizzie24I'm not sure I'll participate if video chat, but if i can without video, and just the chat,  I'd like too when i can. 

Please, Can you explain to everyone, what it is we will be doing in these meetings?

Also is this central time? Eastern?

video is not required attend however it will make u comfortable.  some of the things i have come up with so far is. the first meeting is to get to know each other play some ice breaker games. other meetings i'm looking at doing is littles got talent where we can share something we are really good at, baking badge where we will come up with a snack the meeting before and then we will bake it together at the following meeting, crafts, talk about safety of stuff, basically it will be like a scout meeting but from the comfort of our own homes. we can also do game nights, coloring nights, fashion show, and I will come up with a badge for each one of these activities, I'm open to suggestions too. the other online scouting group I do don't do a lot together and usually just talk I don't want that out of this I want us to have fun, make new friends and earn badges as a group and if someone can't make the meeting they can also earn on their own too . it will be eastern time

I picked Saturday at 4, but Sunday at 4 also works for me. I could only pick one time. It may depend on the weekend too. My daughter is in Girl Scouts and we're in the middle of Cookie Season,  so if we are at a Cookie booth, I may need to miss.

Plus I'm gone to the doctor for the next few weeks and my kids will be visiting on the weekends. I might miss the first few meetings, but I do wanna be involved when my life slows down to normal (or a new normal) again. Please keep me in the group for the next couple of months. I'll join when I can. 

@lillizzie24 Thank you for all the hard work you are doing to get these meetings started! I really appreciate having a Scout group, and i know others do, too! 

@JujuThank you for creating a Scout group! I love this idea! It warms my little heart and fulfills a secret dream I've had for a very long time!

i'm having some minor surgery next week, so I'm not sure how active I'm gonna be depending on when you start the meetings, but almost definitely be there when I can! 

[lillizzie24]

I was thinking of starting next month with the first meeting

[Juju]

@BabyPoppy you are very welcome! I've wanted to do this for a very long time also! 

@lillizzie24Thank you so much for jumping right in there and helping! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! And starting next month was my thoughts too. So we're on the same page.  

@Lil_K47 You do what you feel like doing, when you can. When you get well, you'll be able to do more.  We'll still be here. 

We want this group to be relaxed and fun to do.  We're still in the early stages but it'll smooth out and be so much fun!! 

Again, thank you ladies for making this all possible!!

@lillizzie24What forum are we using for the meetings? Since they will be live? Are we just doing it here and just be here at the same time or?? This is so exciting!
