I realize I have not been posting as much lately. I've just been so busy with everything from homeschooling, dog fostering, camping and starting up a Daisy Girl Scout Troop. Yes, that is my most recent ambition. I've been super busy with it too. It all started out so simple...I called the Girl Scout offices to ask about the Daisy level of Girl Scouting, which is the 1st level for 5-6 yr olds. I was hoping to get Kateri involved this year, as I enjoyed Girl Scouts when I was young. Right away, the Girl Scout Council asked how involved I wanted to get and how soon I wanted to start...because they had no leader, but they did have quite a loooong list of little girls waiting for someone to start a troop. So, of course, I jumped in and took over the list of 16 girls! I had to call all the parents, set up a Parent Info Meeting (which I did last week) and find some co-leaders to help me out. I recruited my friend Lori, who also has a 5 yr old daughter, and I also recruited my sisters, Kathy and Megan to help out. We've been to a couple training sessions already too. And, I set up a meeting location (our community center) and dates to start the girl meetings. Our first Daisy Girl Scout Meeting will be Wed, Nov 5th. Kateri is sooooo excited to become a Daisy Girl Scout. We headed to the Girl Scout shop and bought the necessary supplies and uniforms for her.
Here are some photos of her wearing some of her Daisy things, including a Daisy t-shirt and Daisy cap. I also ended up buying her a Girl Scout mermaid with purple hair from the shop, since Kateri pointed out that she most definitely needed one to become a true Daisy Scout!
