Be prepared…
School starts soon and so I have been getting everything in order for the upcoming year. Girlie is now old enough for Girl Scouts and we went down to the local office to register her. Somehow, I went from volunteering to help with crafts once in a while to signing on for troop leader. Eek! Apparently, there’s no Daisy troop at her school so we’re going to start one! I went to my first troop leader meeting last night and in the upcoming weeks I go for orientation and training. I was never a Girl Scout, so this is something new and interesting for me.

I swear, this is GS’s schtick. Everytime that X has been a part of the organization (except now), I have been talked into being a leader or co-leader. THREE TIMES!!! Now, though, (to the Amy Winehouse tune) “they tried to make me be a leader, and I said no, no, no.”

Cool! You will be the best troop leader ever because you’re actually awesome and will have great ideas for things the girls can do. Plus you’re a strong woman. Just what little girls need to look up to. What fun!

Hey Dee!
Maybe Payton will be assigned to your troop:) I mailed her registration in a few weeks ago, but haven’t heard anything back yet. If you can pull some strings…get her in your troop. Some of the Daisy troops are SCARY! Last year, I actually pulled Kiara out of her first troop and asked for her to be put in a new one. Our 2nd troop was awesome though. Hopefully Payton gets a good one! Good luck!

Jodi-Hah! We sing sooo many different words to the tune of “rehab”. It has a great hook, heh.
Anna-I hope so!
Tracy-I’m actually going there tomorrow. If I remember, I’ll ask about it.

I was a girl scout leader in Germany and loved it!
