We spoke a couple weeks ago about the Microsoft’s grand opening at the Burlington Mall. Microsoft worked with Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of the USA to design a curriculum that meets badge and belt-loop requirements.

Here’s a list of the available Girl Scout Workshops:

Daisy: Violet Petal

Brownie: Computer Expert

Junior: Digital Photographer

Junior: Entertainment Technology

Cadette: Digital Movie Maker

Cadette: Netiquette

Girl Scouts will receive a certificate of completion and a Microsoft Store patch for the specified workshops. During the workshops, the kids will also have a short period of time to have hands-on experience with the newest technology in the store.

There are other offerings such as: Xbox: Dance Central 3, Kinect Sports, Birthday Parties (any age), 5 course workshop (Age 8-13), TechTots Workshop (Age 2-5) etc. As well as Microsoft trainings and private meeting space.

I also would like to let you know some exciting news – As I’ve mentioned the Grand Opening is September 19^th and our exclusive Demi Lavato concert will be on Saturday, September 21^st at 2:00pm. I think it would be really exciting for kids to attend. Wristbands will be distributed in the store on Sep 19^th starting around 11am. We will have a ribbon cutting ceremony which will take place at around 10:30am – there will be lots of giveaways, raffles, and other surprises (for kids and adults). Tickets are limited so I would recommend getting there early.

We can also arrange a time for a quick store tour. If you want to get a group of Leaders and/or kids together for a store tour on September 19^th (or multiple groups depending on the amount of people), I have time slots from 1:00pm – 7:00pm.

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide before you distribute this information among the Leaders.

Thank you,

Sasha
