Daisy Troop

I had so badly wanted to co-lead a Daisy Troop for L. This dream went south when one leader I tried to co-lead with turned psycho on me. I couldn't find enough homeschool girls her age to start our own troop. L ended up joining a troop at a local elementary school. I really wanted her to participate so she could get some girly interaction, something I find lacking in our everyday life. The troop already had a leader and co-leader. I was so disappointed not to be more involved. I thought it would be great to have that activity for us girls. It was not meant to be. I let her join, thankful that she would have this opportunity that I so wanted when I was a little girl her age.

Today was her investiture. I took her to the school to meet up with the troop. Daddy Piper, S and J joined us to witness her investiture. They dropped us off and headed to the park. I was just going to walk her in and then head over to the park myself. The troop leader cornered me and asked if I was still interested in co-leading. Seems they wanted to have 2 co-leaders since there is just so much work involved. I answered YES! I am so excited : -)

L was officially inducted in the Girl Scouts as a Daisy. The girls made fun field trip shirts with their handprints on them and decorated trick-or-treat bags. Then the ceremony began. L was first. It was super cool to see her with her vest and saying the Girl Scout pledge (or promise or something like that...). L enjoyed every second of the 2 hours we were there. She is loving this girl stuff!! She has a best friend already. Another little girl with 2 little siblings. I hope there are lots of fun, girly things planned for the year!!
