This past Friday night, I took 4 girls and a new Girl Scout volunteer on an overnight event at a Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary about an hour from our home. It was a Service Unit event, but due to busy schedules, only around 30 girls (Kindergartners through 4 grade) and 15 adults took advantage of the fun.
I just cannot describe how much fun and perfect the event was for our girls. The girls, one being new to the group, got along wonderfully. They absolutely enjoyed themselves and all the experiences. We loved the cool weather as we hiked around 3 miles total on Friday evening and Saturday morning. They got to experience nature, see a blackland prairie, wetland, raccoons, a bat, and so much more.
After such a great event, I can't wait to plan more fun for the summer.

Welcome!
Originally, I began this site to assist leaders and share Girl Scout ideas. I will continue to do that, but I have changed my focus to share a little about everything. I will ramble on and on about education, of which I have been a part for the last 28 years, Girl Scouts, which runs deeply through me as I was one from Kindergarten-12th grade, earned my Gold Award, and have led troops for at least 11 years, and life, which I live daily--the ups and the downs.
I have taught Pre-K students through adults in the private sector and through Professional Development. I taught 3rd-6th grades in public school, worked at the District level with K-5th Science teachers, and at the campus level with 6th-8th grade teachers in all content areas. I have worked more closely with the Science community the last 8 years, but I am now going back to my ELA and History roots and working with all three.
Our Girl Scout Troop, which I lead with a BFF, is a Cadette Troop. Over the last few years, we have had 5 girls earn their Bronze Award and 2 earn their Silver Award. We hope to have more in the coming years. Since this, we have combined 4 older girl troops. We now have girls 7th - 11th grades.
