[quote=Anonymous]My girl scouts did many badges and monthly field trips.  We went to the Md Sci. Museum, camping (several times), kayaking 4 times, horseback riding 2 times, Massanutten water park 2 times, adventure courses, geocaching, made pizza/cookies/casseroles, sorted food for the food pantry many times, made and served dinner to a needy group, made christmas ornaments and gift bags for food pantry clients, and sold cookies (of course) (which means they learned to speak to strangers, count money, set goals and make plans with their money).

They learned Girl Scout and camping songs, made real jewelry, learned to light matches and tend a fire, picked up trash around the school several times, pulled weeds and landscaped around the school several times, went on hikes, learned to respond to medical emergencies, had fun making a clay-mation short film, painted faces like make up artists, had a spa day, had picnics, played outside, learned to clean up, conducted a proper flag ceremony, used Scratch programming.... and more.

But, if you are thinking this is just an hour or two per month social group -- then I'd rather you not join.  It doesn't have to be your child's only activity, but it does involve parents helping out with driving to events, standing at cookie booths, doing some badge steps at home, and more.  Mostly I just needed the kids to show up ON TIME and be picked up ON TIME, and I needed the parents to respond to emails and pay the required fees ON TIME.  If you are already feeling too busy, don't add another thing to your life.  It isn't that important.

If you really want GS for your daughter and you value it -- GS will work out great. [/quote]
