Last night at the school Spring concert, the band teacher (a former Girl Scout herself) presented three Girl Scouts from our community their 10-Year pins. The girls had a conflict of schedules. They could travel to the Council offices for a ceremony there or attend their school's band concert. The girls choose to play music for their community. Tia plays clarinet. Stephanie plays flute. Amanda plays saxophone.
A short presentation was done by the band teacher, the troop leader and the troop co-leader. They were congratulated by many area scouts who attended the concert.
It is rare that any child will commit themselves or stick with something for 10 years. Tia and Stephanie are Cadettes and will be bridging into Senior scouting on May 15th, 2007. They started Girl Scouts in Kindergarten. Amanda is a Senior scout who serves on the Mackinac Island Honor Guard. She started Girl Scouts in 1st grade.
We are very proud of our girls and their accomplishments.
Please share your troops achievements for the 2006-2007 year of scouting.

That is quite a long time to be involved in an organization like that. I wish my daughter could have had a chance to be a girl scout. There were no groups here, which was strange, because there were boy scouts. My boys were in the scouts and they learned a lot of things and had fun doing it. There were always things to participate in, for the boys and parents.

Try this link to find a Council in your area:

You might also check with the school to see if they know of any troops in your area.

Your daughter could be a Leader. Or you could be a Leader. You do not have to have a daughter in scouts to be a Leader. If you enjoy scouting, there are ways to be a part of the Girl Scouts. We can always use supportive adults. There might be troops in your area that need help for a project or are looking for a speaker. You could teach a craft or skill to a group of girls. It is never too late to be a Girl Scout.
