The leadership classes that I did not need to take and do not remember at all, made me realize how much I have always enjoyed being a girl scout. In hindsight, I really should have traveled more in college and kept up my membership... luckily, I have a daughter and can live vicariously through her!
After two years of taking part in cub scout camps and activities, I had to break my daughter's heart, "Honey, I'm sorry, but you cannot be a boy scout."
Enter = Girl Scouts
Now the little girl is in Kindergarten and it is time to be a Daisy.
Do you know what happens when there are no troops? Someone has to step up and be a leader. People can see the "sucker" sign on my forehead from a mile away!
There are a few differences in Girl Scouting that I am having to learn.
- Tres Condados is no more. Now we are California's Central Coast, which means that it has grown.
- There are these things called Journeys that include a series of patches.
- Girls are not required to wear a full uniform. Say What?!
This one was a shock since I always had a full get-up and I think the girls look the part when selling cookies or going places. I feel a little bad that I did not know this before, since I have said "no" to girl scout cookies a few times because the girl's looked sloppy.
It took several months to find a co-leader. That done, we get our number!
Next Post... How I set up the troop!
