lillizzie24 Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 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 1 1
Juju Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 @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?
lillizzie24 Posted February 14 Author Report Posted February 14 (edited) 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 Edited February 14 by lillizzie24 forgot to add something 2
BabyPoppy Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 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! 1
Lil_K47 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 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! 2
lillizzie24 Posted February 14 Author Report Posted February 14 I was thinking of starting next month with the first meeting 3
Juju Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 @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!! 2
Lil_K47 Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 @Juju @lillizzie24 thank you ladies so much for making this group possible! Y'all are doing an awesome job! 🫶🫶 1 1
Juju Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 @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!
lillizzie24 Posted February 15 Author Report Posted February 15 I was going to see what everyone uses I was thinking either discord or Google meets for the online meetings so there is video for anyone who wants to use video 1
Lil_K47 Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 @Juju @lillizzie24 Zoom could also be an option, because even though it's video there is an option to just keep it on audio so anybody who wants to do video code and anybody who wants to keep it on audio has that option as well. I'm a member of like an online gym and that's how they stream their live classes. And I always keep mine with the video off cause I don't want anybody to see my chunky butt! 🤣 2
princess_amelia Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 Hi! I’m very interested in participating in this club to the best of my abilities. I’d be very happy to help in any way I can. At the same time, I work during the weekends and I’m not sure if I could actually attend the meetings. If that's okay, I'll try my best and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll wish you all the best and say my goodbye to the club 1
lillizzie24 Posted February 17 Author Report Posted February 17 @princess_ameliadon't leave!! we have badges for everyone including ones who will not attend our meetings online!!!! we have several ways to participate this is for everyone no matter how they want to participate nothing is mandatory!!!! we just want to have fun and make friends!!!! @Lil_K47 I like zoom I use it to video chat a family member only issue with that is without paying for it you are limited on how long the meeting will be then it kicks everyone out and I can't restart for 15 mins. I do not have the extra money to pay for a subscription. but discord and Google meetings both have where you don't have to use video and voice you can just type in it just as we are now. I have used both platforms for video stuff and I like both of them and they are very easy to use. I understand not everyone has a discord that's why I would recommend google meetings because most people have google accounts or can make on just for this so our real names don't show up. I have 2 accounts 1 for my big girl stuff and one for little stuff 2
Lil_K47 Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 @lillizzie24 didn't think about that with zoom! im good with whatever yall choose .

Ah! That's wonderful news! Thanks! Is there anyway I can help? I'm not familiar with how scouts work, but I'm very open to learning
Juju Posted February 17 Report Posted February 17 Google sounds good to me! I dunno if we said or not, but are we doing online meetings once a month? Also, I have pictures of badge I'll post tomorrow. I'd do it tonight but I didn't get but maybe 3 hours of sleep. I'll also have a more detailed, structured, Badge and Requirments "book" up and ready within the next couple of days. I also thought it might be easier for everyone if we make an album just for our club to put our pictures and things pertaining to the Troop. What do you think? It'll be easier also to keep track of who did what badge. 3

Aikko Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 I’m not sure I’ll be able to commit to the fixed meeting times every month, but I definitely wanna participate!!! 🙂 I never got to be in Girl Scouts as a kiddo, so I’m actually really excited about this. 2

Daddy Bear 77 Posted Saturday at 02:37 AM Report Posted Saturday at 02:37 AM (edited) How long are the meetings? That would change the time I might be able to attend. Edited Saturday at 02:37 AM by Daddy Bear 77 1
RoseyLittle Posted Sunday at 12:40 AM Report Posted Sunday at 12:40 AM I’m not sure how often I can make meetings with kiddos on weekends and work on Sunday, but I will try to get to any I can! I’m so happy to scout with all of you! Yay!! 1 1
Juju Posted Sunday at 08:43 AM Report Posted Sunday at 08:43 AM We're all looking forward to scouting with you too! Don't worry about how often you can do something. The great thing about our Troop is that you can do things at your own pace. It's never suppose to be a inconvenience or chore. Just enjoyable and fun! 3
