Masquerade Madness

The Girl Scout Council held a Halloween party for all the troops in our Morningside area. This party was called "Masquerade Madness"! The girls (and the leaders!) were encouraged to dress up in their Halloween costumes and enjoy a night of lots of fun!!!

There were several stations set up for each troop to rotate around and participate in... there was a station where everyone got to decorate their own masquerade mask, and a station called "Pumpkin Toss" which was a lot like a ring toss game you see at a carnival -- you just needed to get the rings around the stems of the pumpkins! There was also a face painting station and two more stations that were games -- one game consisted of tossing a ball that looked like an "eyeball" into buckets lined up across the floor. The other game was with donuts hanging on a string and everyone had to see who could get the donut off the string without using their hands!

The two favorite stations of the night were "Fear Factory" and the "Glow House"!! "Fear Factory" had dark boxes set up on a table that were labeled as "Maggots", "Brains", "Eyeballs", etc. You put your hand in the box and felt these things!!!! The objects inside the boxes seemed quite realistic and you could hear the shouts of "Ooh... YUCK!" and "GROSS!!" as each girl dared to put her hand in the box!! The "Glow House" was a dark room decorated with glow sticks and items that glowed under a black light! There was music playing and the girls entered into the room and danced around!! I think most of them would have stayed in there all night, they were having so much fun!!

We ended the evening with a snack and helped clean up the stations before heading home! When the council members asked if everyone enjoyed the party and had fun, there were many shouts of approval, so we hope they do it again next year!! FUN! FUN! FUN!!
