Once a Girl Scout, Always a Girl Scout


Today we signed Charity up for girl scouts! Yay!! I had looked for a troop for her to join last year without any luck, so when she brought a brochure home from school about a local troop that meets at her school, I was so excited!

And the weekend wouldn't have been complete, had I not dug out my old vest and shirt . . . I save EVERYTHING. She loved looking at all the badges (the benefit of having an older sister in girl scouts!) Glad I saved it, worked great in convincing Charity she wanted to become a girl scout. She's so hesitant to do anything new.

I don't really remember how long I was a member, three years maybe? I was never a Daisy, which is what Charity's going to be. But I was a Brownie and then a Junior. Lots of fun and fond memories!! I'm glad Charity can carry on the tradition!

To attend events and outings with the troop, the mom (or parent) must also be registered. So I had to pay my yearly membership fee and fill out the paperwork, as well. Charity, pretty much, thought this was the coolest part of the whole process. And though I don't think my shirt and vest will fit anymore, I am, however, a girl scout . . . again!
