Masquerade Madness: Celebrating the ‘Inner Ghoul’ of the Girl!

Masquerade Madness (our October 2011 theme) was a huge success! Thanks so much to everyone who attended one of our events or helped out at one! We’ve had a great time hearing stories and seeing photos of the ‘ghouls,’ which is why we want to share some of our most memorable Masquerade Madness moments with you all!  Ghouls from all over Iowa took part in these awesome events! 

Awesome Mask!

In Guthrie County, about 25 girls were dressed to impress.  They were sporting witch hats, princess crowns, and true masquerade masks at their Masquerade Madness event! There was also a vampire in attendance, a bumble bee, and even Punky Brewster! (What a great T.V. show that was!)

Before the event started, girls made their own name tags, picked out super-cool bat rings, and showed off a few of their dance moves before the party started!  After bustin’ a move, the girls recited the Girl Scout Promise.  Girls were soon painting pumpkins, taking part in a new and improved version of Bobbing for Apples, drinking Ghoul-Aid, and dancing to monster music!

The Halloween Olympics followed. What a treat that was! Girls batted bats, rolled eyeballs, and raced plastic spiders to the finish line. The girls were having a blast cheering their teammates to victory.

Girls then used their creative juices to make special Girl Scout banners for their home towns… they turned out great!  The Skeleton Scavenger Hunt topped off the event! Girls had to gather several scattered skeleton bones and piece them together to create… you guessed it, a skeleton!!!

As the event wrapped up, the witches, pirates, and princesses gathered in a circle.  They chatted and passed treat bags around, giving each and every ghoul the chance to meet tons of other new ghouls! It served as an awesome opportunity to make new friends and have fun with old ones!

Thanks again to everyone who attended the event! We hope you all had as much fun as we did!
