Girl Scout Junior Special Event on Schooner Woodwind

 

Who: Girl Scout Juniors

 

When: August 8, 2012

 

Where: Schooner Woodwind  

Annapolis, MD

 

Girl Scouts will work towards their "Power of Team" Junior Award from "It's Your World, Change It" by learning "hands on" how a boat sails and how we must work as a team to propel the boat forward into the Chesapeake Bay. They will learn how important communication is in the "team" process and to listen intently for directions. Once they learn what to do when they hear the commands, they will practice working as a team to get the schooner back to Annapolis.

 

Fees: $45 per adult
$43 per scout 12 & over
$30 per child under 12

NJT Designs offers mobile jewelry and beading parties, an appealing alternative to DVDs and video games for children's social gatherings. Be it a birthday party, Girl Scout meeting or after-school program activity, boys and girls hone hand-eye coordination with ribbon, beading and elastic. Mother and daughter pair Nadia and Zetta Trammell focused their efforts on bringing the art-to-wear projects to their patrons out of a marked absence of such a service in the DC area.  Parents have their choice of a variety of packages to meet their children's and budgets' needs. Party-goers have their choice of acrylic and fire-polished quality beads and whimsical charms to reflect their unique style.

 

It's a party + the party favor all in one.

 Fees: $12-20 per person
