Having a late start with new leaders this year, the Brownies of Troop 986 manned two nut booth sales, one on Nov. 12 in front of Dunkin Donuts, Route 35, and the other on Nov. 19 in front of Jersey Mikes, Allaire Road. The girls worked together, made a really cute nut song which drew many customers to their table, had fun and made a lot of money. Their leaders are so proud of them! 

Here is a photograph of Monica at the Monmouth Service Center, who is always so helpful. I have observed her and Kristen assisting any leader who walks through the store door. I know they have been particularly helpful to me, as a new leader of Troop 986. Both of them are assets to Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore and the Monmouth Service Center.

Some Brownies from Troop 986 and two mothers attended Spooktacular this year. The girls had a great time, just like last year; and it was unanimous that they definitely plan to attend Spooktacular 2012. Thank you, council, for providing good, clean, safe fun for our girls.

Troop 986 attended Scout Night at Be-Bop in Tinton Falls for Halloween. These four Brownies showed off their costumes, and when they got to Be-Bop, they had a night of dancing and being entertained by a DJ at the youth dance studio.
