By Brownie Girl Scout Troop 214 from Frakes, KY (Sheila Miller-Cobb, Leader)
Who was involved?
Brownies of GS Troop 214: Riley Cobb, Kaitlyn Hill, Cassie Partin, Skylar Partin Assistant Leaders Michelle Thacker and Tammy Siler helped the girls make the rough drafts and final panels. Assistant Leader Leigh Ann Cobb then put the quilt panel together.

Title- "Girl Scouts Helping Our Community"

Dream Theme - Community

Techniques Used & Materials Used:
The back panel piece is a blue cotton star/space quilt sheet onto which the girls individual white panels were sewn. The individual white panels are a glittery cotton quilt sheet.
The girls used acrylic craft paint to decorate the panels.


What is your groups artwork about?

Girl Scout Troop 214 of the Kentucky Wilderness Road Council is a small multi-level troop that serves the community of Frakes, KY in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
Since the Juniors of Troop 214 were using their quilt panel as part of the requirement to earn the "Power of Team" Badge in their Girl Scout Agent of Change Journey, we decided to have a separate panel to let our four Brownies participate in the Dream Rocket Project.

The Brownies decided on ways that they see themselves helping the community in the future.

*Kaitlyn chose to the theme of helping veterans

*Skylar chose the theme of keeping our waterways free from oil and other containments

*Cassie chose the theme of keeping the community beautiful by picking up litter

*Riley chose the theme of helping endangered species.

They used acrylic craft paint to make a scene on each individual panel. Riley's mom, Leigh' Ann; then put the individual panels onto b1ue star background panel and added the felt start with "GS 214"
written on it.

This was an excellent project which allowed these young girls to think about different ways they could help the community.


What else could the IFC do?
"Something to do with agriculture or the Appalachian Mountain region."

When Kade Sinclair crashes into the girl of his dreams, she quickly wrecks his heart. Not one to take no for an answer, he pulls out all the stops to win her over. What he learns changes his life forever.

Featured Recipe: Thin Mints



Thin Mints
Makes: 30
Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Baking Flour
1 cup vegan sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup arrowroot
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup melted refined coconut oil or canola oil
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup vegan gluten-free chocolate chips
3 tablespoons mint extract
I’m Catholic by birth. Winter to us means Lent, which, to be honest, is about all I remember beyond the school uniforms. Anytime winter/Lent rolled around, the only thing we could count on was the house-wide hostility that would mount as we spent several weeks avoiding sweets and desserts in all their overindulgent forms. The colder months, you might recall, make up Girl Scout cookie season. In a unique show of torture, rather than simply not placing an order with the Scouts, our family bought a bunch, tossed them into the freezer, and stored them until Easter--about two months later. This recipe is for all you lifetime gluten-free folks who have never been able to enjoy a winter of Girl Scout Thin Mints--and for all you weak-willed kids who can’t help but break the Lenten period of atonement. Bless your hearts!
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, arrowroot, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt. Add the coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms.
3. Meanwhile, combine the chocolate chips and mint extract in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir until the chips are just melted. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat. Dunk the top of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place in a single layer on a platter. Refrigerate the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets.
