Girl Scouts

[angelmom79]

My daughter is 7 and she has been in girlscouts for 2 yrs now.. She loves nut and cookie time,when she gets to go out and sell,, I myself think it''s exhausting for both of us,,but she likes it so I support her.. Is anyone else in Girl Scouts? For the first year I was a volunteer,, Last year I just wasn't up for it,,

Yes, I have a 7 yr. old in Brownies. I am 46 and became a Leader for the first time. We have 18 girls in our troop. My daughter just loves the Brownies. It gives girls good values and allows them to do things, that they might not have had a chance to. Next year, I may have a combo group Brownies and Juniors. Hoping someone steps forward and agrees to help.

I love the girls and see something special and unique in each one.

My youngest daughter joined as a daisy scout last year and I was her leader. She is now a first year brownie and I am still a daisy leader and I love it. I get the girls as they first join girl scouts.

My girls are 11 and 9, the older one is doing the "studio 2B" stuff, she is a Lone Star, working on her own with me, as there are no troops with her age group right around here. My younger one is in a mixed brownie/junior troop with about 12 girls. (Big sister COULD have joined this one, but chooses to do the Studio 2B stuff, and that has to have a troop with 11yrs and up only)

We are finishing up cookie sales, and that has been a challenge. 11 yod is trying to get enough credits to go to camp for a week, (she will be 12 in June) hubby and I finally decided we would let her go.. (she keeps bringing up how her brothers went to camp at 9 and 10 years of age.. but we tell her THEY were boys... it's different when you have daughters!!!)

Anyhow, I am registered with younger dd's troop, but don't really do a lot.

I agree, and I love it, my daughter just went through her bridging ceremony,from brownies to juniors and she enjoyed it, we just went camping and it was so much fun, i love it, and the crafts, well what can I say, love those as well, just a big kid still.lol and it's a great way to meet other moms. and make new friends for the both of us. its great.
