My Brownie troop is almost finished for the year. It has been fun, but so crazy. I received an award last week for Outstanding Leader. I’m pretty sure it was just because I was the only one willing to take the entire 1st grade troop of 24 girls, but it’s nice anyway. We have one more meeting left—a parents’ party.

For our final activity we are “camping in” at my house to earn an outdoor badge. I thought that was much better than actually sleeping outside in a tent. We’ll cook on a fire, pitch tents, “hike” through my neighborhood, and sleep inside where it’s nice and cozy!
