Sometimes Britton will watch "Max and Ruby." Oh, the voices irritate me to no end, but there is a storyline Britton loves where Ruby is in a "Bunny Scout Troop." So, Britton asked if there are Bunny Scout Troops in real life. Nope, but there are Girl Scout troops!
I sent in the interest form and waited. And then I got contacted that they were forming a new Daisy troop in our town, and seven girls had signed up. But........wait for it........they didn't have a leader. No one would do it. And Britton looked all sad that maybe there wouldn't a troop. So, I volunteered. Jessica assured me it would be a lot of crafts and quite easy, and I decided to just go for it.
I may have gotten a little excited. I hit up the uniform shop like it was going out of style! I was instantly transported back to when I was a Brownie, eons and eons ago, and how exciting it was to earn patches and do crafts. Britton wanted the vest (there's also a tunic now) and the skirt, and I may or may not (I totally did) get the beanie.
Anyone remember the Girl Scout Promise? I couldn't believe that I did remember! And it was a little surreal teaching it to (now up to) nine little girls, including my own.
Britton was really excited for our first meeting. I didn't want to give away all the surprises, just because she happens to live with her leader! I got all the girls blue daisies and tied on their troop number patches. The girls, and their moms (and one dad), were so excited!
