Let's Go Scouting. . . (part 1)

I LOVE Scouting and everything that it represents, be it Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts or Girl Scouts.  All three of my children are involved in Scouting.

Makenna is a Brownie in Girl Scouts.  Today she participated in archery.  They have an archery program at her school.  I've been trying to convice her to try archery.  Each time I bring it up, she just walks away with no interest.  I was excited to see this picture of her today.  Not that I think she has suddenly changed her mind and wants to participate in archery.  But, I'm thrilled to see her stepping out of her comfort zone and trying something that is not all frills and lace and Barbie dolls.





I Love everything that Girl Scouts has to offer and teach Makenna about the world, from respect for herself and her peers to respect for the country that she lives in.  Girl Scouting is a powerful program that has the opportunity to make such a huge impact on the lives of so many young girls and future women of America.





This year is the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting in America.  Makenna has had the opportunity to be a part of many wonderful activities this year from Tea Parties to Un-Birthday Parties, this has been a year of celebration.  Next summer, Makenna and her troop are going to Savannah, Georgia to visit the home of Juliet Low, the founder of Girl Scouts.

If you have young girls that are entering kindergarten or older and are interested in learning more about Girl Scouts check out the the Girl Scout website. 

More to come at a later date about my boys and their involvement with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts.
