We love Girls Scouts. Let me say that again "We LOVE Girl Scouts". I truly believe in the Girl Scout mission. I can't think of any better way to spend my time than with my daughter helping her to develop confidence, good character traits, and succeed in the skill building activities that are the foundations of the journeys. We enjoyed her 2 years as a Daisy. We loved the leaders and girls in the troop and participating in the activities. I even completed the training so that I could better assist and support the leaders. But I felt that there was something missing.
I considered starting a troop in my small community, but there is really not enough interest in my daughter's age group, and there is no way that I want to try to start a multi-level troop. Besides I'm not that person that needs to be in control of a group. I was quite happy to be that person to lift up the leaders and work in the background. But when you want your daughter to have the full & wonderful experience sometimes you just have to do something else. That being said, we decided to strike out on our own this year as her first year in Brownies and see what we can accomplish as a Juliette.
I am starting this blog to document my daughter's journey as a Juliette.
Good for you! Sounds like you are well on your way to a GREAT Girl Scouting experience. Here's wishing you luck and FUN!!
