Ideas wanted for newly formed Girl Scouts Troop

A few girls here in East Tennessee have just come together and formed a new Girl Scout troop. I am asking for some ideas to possibly use in some of the meeings down the road. I have two of the S2 Scribbler robots that I am sure will be useful for the girls to play and learn with. However, I am at a loss as how to introduce the S2 to the girls... any ideas and strategies, including timelines, etc. are highly welcomed!
I have a dilapidated laptop running WIN8.1 that does well with the Scribblers, so I have at least one programming device at my disposal.
I also have a couple of the SumoBots that may prove to be of interest. Again, I could use some help about how to proceed with introducing these to the girls. We are talking about generally 9 year olds, perhaps 5 to 10 of them at any given meeting. I am really concerned that the girls will lose interest in the newly-formed troop and it will just die over time, so any ideas are really helpful to me. Thank you.

There are some Scribbler 2 resources on Learn and on the S2 product page that might be of help to you:
The product page is disabled for ordering, but all of the downloads are still obtainable from there or by searching the store.
There are also some resources for the SumoBot in the Learn projects section and in the contest ideas section:
I hope this helps – good luck!
