Troop 10020 of the Girl Scouts Louisiana East held it's first meeting today!
To say I was a bit excited was an understatement ...
I decided last week that since EB still thought it was fun for me to have a Girl Scout shirt, that I'd definitely need one for our troop meetings.
Thankfully, I am one of the co-leaders, so I can for the most part just show up and have fun with the girls. I was bummed that I didn't get Lydia's "Future Girl Scout" shirt in time, but she didn't need it to think she was one of the Daisies ...
Eden Brooks already knows all of the girls in her troop since they are from the three K classes at her school plus her good friend Rebekah who has also decided to join our troop. Today, they said the pledge, the Girl Scout motto, played a fun "I'm a Daisy Scout" game that included wiggling and jiggling, colored, played on the playground, and had a snack. Their other activity was to introduce themselves going around the circle and name their favorite thing. When EB's turn came she told everyone her name, the class she is in, and then looked up at me to announce her favorite thing is her mommy. The girl knows how to take her audience into account -- she definitely meant it but would certainly have said her Daddy if he'd been the one in the room instead of me. She's very considerate that way :).
EB was really excited to wear her Aunt FeeFee's white uniform shirt that she wore when she was a Daisy scout ...
Let's hope working on the badges/petals and Daisy outings this year will be even more fun than today. Upcoming activities include heading to a martial arts studio for the Bravery & Courage badge and having a female police officer come and talk to the girls. Should be a very interesting year!
