This Saturday, my friend/co-leader and I are hosting a Brownie Try-It Day where 42 Brownies and second year Daisies will be rotating through stations to earn 3 Try-Its. I am so excited and pray all goes well.
Have you participated in or hosted a badge work day or event? What did you do? How did it go?

April Is Here!
Can you believe it is already April? What plans do your troops have for this month? Will you be participating in Earth 2011? Do you have other Earth related service projects planned?
We began Water Everywhere and Earth Is Our Home Try-Its in connection to our conversation about Earth 2011. It will be exciting to see what our Brownies and Daisy come up with for projects.
Share your ideas with us . . .

Happy Birthday, Girl Scouts!
Happy Birthday, Girl Scouts!
I know! I am a day early, but I won't have computer access later today or tomorrow, so I wanted to get my Birthday wish out there early rather than late.
How do you plan to celebrate Girl Scouts' 99th Birthday?

Behavior During Meetings
Do you have one or more girls who are full of energy, have difficulty listening and/or following directions, or tend to do whatever they want rather than what is expected? How do you handle it? What do you do?
This is something I have struggled with at each level. Girls have to be quiet, calm, and under complete control in school. I don't want Girl Scouts to be as constraining, but I don't want total chaos either. I have found that the busier they are, the better they are, but there are times that listening or group discussion is necessary. However, their lack of following directions and paying attention is exhausting by the time the night ends.
When the night is over and your reflection leads you to think you will never lead a troop again, what do you do to overcome and charge forward?
