Scouting

Growing up Girl Scouts was a big part of my life. I've always loved being outdoors so that was a given but Girl Scouts also exposed me to other things that did not come as naturally (like talking to people when selling cookies)! But I did not grow up with any boys around and so Boy Scouts was always a mysterious event outside my radar. So I married an Eagle Scout. And had two boys! ;) And so I got thrown into the world of Cub Scouting 6 years ago! But this year? This year we are back on my territory!

My sweet Fern is a Brownie!

Cub Scouts is still going strong with Jake, he's a Bear this year.


But here is a new scouting adventure! Boy Scouts! Overnighters without Dad! 12-18 year old boys with FIRE!

I'm excited to share this adventure with Fern, its been 17 years since I've worn my Girl Scout pins and sold cookies. But I have to say its great!
And watching Fern enjoy Brownies is the best part!
I am already planning in 3-ish years of having our family scouting photo (in uniform of course), Leili will be a Brownie, Fern a Junior, Jake a Weblos/Boy Scout, Riley a seasoned Boy Scout, Dan an adult leader, and myself! Once a Girl Scout Always a Girl Scout!
